Hymn - “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” - #288 - 3 Verses Prayer of Confession We are here, O Lord, to worship You today. We stop what we are doing for an hour, maybe two, to give You thanks and praise. Then we return to our lives and go about our days with You mostly in the background, to be brought out at dinnertime or when we have a great need. Forgive us when we forget to keep You in the center of everything that we do. Help us to be people of the resurrection, who live in the light of Christ, in whose name we pray today, Amen.

Anthem - “Days of Elijah” - Schrader Offering and The Lord’s Prayer Doxology Affirmation of Faith - written by Roddy Hamilton; I believe in Jesus, the best possible shepherd; his wisdom leads me to the best opportunities, his word comforts me when I'm anxious or afraid, his arm steadies me when I feel weary and heavy-laden, his wounded body displays the cost of my rescue. I believe in Jesus, the best possible shepherd; I believe that I do not find him but he finds me, that I, under his care, by virtue of sheer grace, thrive and grow to the best of my ability. I believe the love he gives me is to be shared with others, that he treasures my name and prepares a place for me, that all his promises are kept in this realm and the next. I trust in Jesus, the best possible shepherd. Amen. Closing Hymn - “Come People of the Risen King” - see screen Benediction Postlude
