This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it !

Kingdom God of justice, love, and mercy; pour out Your Spirit over us We are hungry, we are thirsty; for the promise of Your kingdom come

Chorus Let Your kingdom come; Let Your will be done Let Your kingdom come, as we lift You higher, as we lift You higher

Consuming fire burn our hearts for – the things that burn in Yours We, Your church are calling out for – the promise of Your kingdom come

Bridge Open up the flood gates of Your love; let the glory of the heavens shine on us Open up the flood gates of Your love; let the King of glory shine over us

You Make Me Brave I stand before You now – The greatness of your renown I have heard of the majesty and wonder of you – King of Heaven, in humility, I bow

Chorus As Your love, in wave after wave; crashes over me, crashes over me For You are for us, You are not against us Champion of Heaven, You made a way for all to enter in

I have heard You calling my name – I have heard the song of love that You sing So I will let You draw me out beyond the shore; into Your grace, oh Your grace

Bridge 'Cause you make me brave, You make me brave You call me out beyond the shore into the waves You make me brave, You make me brave No fear can hinder now the love that made a way CCLI Song #7003306 © 2013 Amanda Cook, | Admin: Bethel Music Publishing All rights Reserved. CCLI License #1162893

Give Me Faith I need you to soften my heart and break me apart I need you to open my eyes to see that you're shaping my life

Chorus All I am I surrender

Give me faith to trust what you say that you're good and your love is great - I'm broken inside I give you my life

I need you to soften my heart and break me apart I need you to pierce through the dark and cleanse every part of me chorus

'Cause I may be weak but your Spirit's strong in me My flesh may fail my God you never will repeat CCLI Song # 5680939 Chris Brown | London Gatch | Mack Brock | Wade Joye © 2009 Be Essential Songs All rights reserved. www.ccli.com CCLI License # 1162893

Words for Worship On this day, we gather to worship God. We come, trusting God will speak to us; we come, hoping God will surprise us. On this day, like every other day, we seek to follow Jesus: We follow, believing Jesus will be with us; we follow, hoping Jesus will work through us. On this day, we lift our souls to God's Spirit: We open our hearts, that the Spirit may fill us; we open our hands, that we might be a gift to others.

Prayer of the Day Let us pray together: Loving God, give us grace to reach out to our sisters and brothers who hunger for companionship, who look for a heart which will welcome them, who long for those who will accept them for who they are. Thank you for welcoming us as family. In Jesus name. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Mark 4: 26-34

Sermon: Pastor Daniel Clayborne

No Longer Slaves 1 2 You unravel me with a melody From my mother's womb you have chosen me you surround me with a song Love has called my name of deliverance from my enemies I've been born again into your family till all my fears are gone Chorus your blood flows through my veins Chorus

Chorus I'm no longer a slave to fear - I am a child of God repeat

You split the sea so I could walk right through it - my fears were drowned in perfect love. You rescued me so I could stand and sing - I am a child of God repeat CCLI Song # 7030123 Brian Johnson | Joel Case | Jonathan David Helser© 2014 Bethel Music Publishing CCLI License # 1162893

Affirmation of Faith I believe in a living God, creator of all humankind, who has created and recreates the entire universe by power and love. I believe in Jesus Christ, God in the flesh and my Savior and Lord. Because of his life, work, suffering and death, I know who I am, and what I can become through Christ. I believe God is present with me always and can be experienced in prayer, the Sacraments, the Word, and the community of believers. Amen.

Prayers of God's People

Confession Gracious God, for your glorious creation. Forgive us for our many sins, and for our unwillingness to accept responsibility for our sinful behavior. Lead us to come to you, seeking forgiveness and renewed relationship through Christ our Savior. Amen.

Forgiveness The God of all creation has entered our human existence in the person of Jesus Christ. Through him, our sinful condition has been given new possibilities of faith and life. By his death and resurrection, the price of our sin has been paid in full and we stand before God as new people. Thanks be to God!

Sharing God’s Peace The peace of the Lord be with you always. And also with you. Please greet one another in the name of the Lord, saying “The Peace of the Lord be with you”

Holy Communion Welcome to the table of the Lord! God supplies for our every need and gives us this meal to share. God, we thank you for these gifts and your promise of eternal life.

Words of Institution

The Lord’s Prayer (contemporary form) Let us pray in the words that Jesus has taught us: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

Come to the God’s Table of Grace All who seek the presence of Jesus Christ at God’s table of grace are welcome to receive God’s forgiveness in Holy Communion. We will be using Fellowship Cups for communion today. They contain a wafer packaged on top of a small cup of grape juice and will be distributed to the congregation by the ushers after being blessed on the altar. We will all partake of communion together once all the cups have been distributed. Please discard your used cup in the trays available on your way out of Fellowship Hall at the end of the service. There are gluten free wafers available – please let the usher know if you need one.

Following Communion: Blessing and Prayer The body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen you and keep you in his grace. Amen

Let us pray...Amen.

Blessing The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord’s face shine on you with grace and mercy. The Lord look upon you with favor  and give you peace. Amen

Let the Praises Ring O Lord my God in you I put my trust - O Lord my God in you I put my hope O Lord my God in you I put my trust - O Lord my God in you I put my hope

In you in you I find my peace - in you in you I find my strength In you I live and move and breathe - let everything I say and do be founded by my faith in you - I lift up holy hands and sing - let the praises ring

O Lord my God to you I give my hands - O Lord my God to you I give my feet O Lord my God to you I give my everything - O Lord my God to you I give my life CCLI Song # 3685747 Lincoln Brewster © 2002 Integrity's Praise!
