WELCOME & OPENING PRAYER
OPENING HYMN – “O Worship the King” (UMH #73, v. 1, 3, 4, and 5)
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old;
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it hath cast like a mantle the sea.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
OPENING PRAISE SONG – “Seek and Ye Shall Find”
Refrain:
Seek and ye shall find, Knock and the door will be opened
Ask and it shall be given and the love comes a-tumblin’ down
My mother, the Lord has been here, My mother the Lord has been here
My mother, the Lord has been here and the love comes a-tumblin down
Refrain
My sister, the Lord has told me, My sister, the Lord has told me
My sister, the Lord has told me and the love comes a-tumblin down
Refrain
My brother, the Lord has shown me, My brother the Lord has shown me
My brother, the Lord has shown me and the love comes a-tumblin down
Refrain (x2)
And the love comes a-tumblin’ down
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
The Lord’s Prayer
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.

CLOSING HYMN – “Majesty, Worship His Majesty” (UMH #176, twice through)
Majesty, worship his majesty;

Flow from his throne unto his own; his anthem raise.

Magnify, come glorify Christ Jesus, the King.
Majesty, worship his majesty,
Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings.
