Gathering Song This Land Is Your Land Video

This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York island; from the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters; this land was made for you and me.

Call to Worship & Invocation Rev. Deans

We gather this day to worship! But we bring with us heavy burdens which weigh us down.

We gather this day to praise God! But our hearts ache inside us and we feel we can go no further.

Come all who are burdened and who feel weighed down. Come to Jesus. Lord Jesus, take our burdens and heal our spirits.

Hymn 701 My Country, 'Tis of Thee Video

My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing: land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring!

My native country, thee, land of the noble free, thy name I love: I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills; my heart with rapture thrills like that above.

Let music swell the breeze, and ring from all the trees sweet freedom’s song: let mortal tongues awake; let all that breathe partake; let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

Our sovereign God, to Thee, Author of liberty; to Thee we sing: long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light; protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!

Offertory Hymn 396 For Such a Time as This Video

For such a time as this, O Lord, we seek the gift of grace outpoured, Upon Your people everywhere, bowed down with sorrow, filled with care; Now bless us, Lord, we humbly plead, with grace sufficient for our need.

For such a time as this we ask for strength that's equal to our task, That we may bear our cross of pain, and through our sufferings triumph gain. Our troubles then shall not bring shame but glory to our savior's name.

For such a time as this, O Lord, we pray for guidance from Your Word; Your truth revealed from bygone age still shines from every sacred page. Its light for this day we would see; from darkened minds, Lord, set us free.

For such a time as this abide, be every with us at our side, To heal our hurts, to give us peace, and from our burdens grant release. Your presence guides us through the day and leads us on our homeward way.

Offertory Prayer Rev. Deans

Worship Through Music Let Hope Arise Sanctuary Choir Video

When madmen rage and fears take hold, let hope arise, let faith be bold. When evil comes and courage breaks, let hope arise to find Your grace.

Oh, Lord, we pray, we pray. Give us strength to feel Your pow’r. We need Your love, Your grace. Let hope arise, let hope arise.

When lives are torn and hate abounds, let faith abide, let hope resound. And when the streets are filled with tears, let faith abide to take our fears.

When hearts are stunned by loss and pain, in Christ, we learn to live again. When lives are empty and alone, let love reside, let peace be known.

Message Looking at the World through God's Eyes Rev. Bryan 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Invitation

Hymn of Commitment 702 America, the Beautiful Video

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw. Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees, beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

The Lord's Supper

For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”

In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. The bread that we partake, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the bread of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

Announcements & Benediction Rev. Bryan

Response Blest Be the Tie Video

Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
