CONGREGATIONAL CALL TO WORSHIP: I Love You, Lord – Laurie Klein

I Love You, Lord, and I lift my voice

To worship You; oh, my soul, rejoice!

Take joy, my King, in what You hear;

May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.

I praise You, Lord, and I life my voice

To honor You; oh, my soul, rejoice!

Take joy, my King, in what You hear;

May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.

INVOCATION AND LORD'S PRAYER: Dr. Luther Smith, Deacon

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

RESPONSIVE READING: Isaiah 40, Mr. Phil Kirk

Comfort, yes, comfort my people says your God.

Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned.

The voice of the one crying in the wilderness: prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough places smooth.

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the work of our God stand forever.

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young ones shall utterly fall.

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

HYMN: Thank You Lord – Seth & Bessie Sykes

Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul, 

Thank you, Lord, for making me whole.

Thank you, Lord, for giving to me

Thy great salvation so rich and free.

HYMN: The Lily of the Valley – Fry & Hays 

I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;

The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay;

He tells me every care on Him to roll:

He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morningstar;

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

PASTORAL BENEDICTION: Dr. Davis

CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE: On Eagle’s Wings – Michael Joncas

And God will raise you up on eagle’s wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine as the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His hand.
