CALL TO WORSHIP
Jesus said we are his witnesses.
We know God’s Spirit is at work in our lives
We listen for his voice in the cries of our neighbors.
We know your plan is to gather all in love
As God’s own people, we are Spirit-strong, ligaments of grace when we follow your wisdom and instruction for a “whole” way of life.
We thank God that our own lives can “cover” the LORD’s song when we know the “script” by heart.
*HYMN 420 Breathe on Me, Breath of God+
1. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love what thou dost love,
and do what thou wouldst do.
2. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with thee I will one will,
to do and to endure.
3. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
till I am wholly thine,
till all this earthly part of me
glows with thy fire divine.
4. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with thee the perfect life
of thine eternity.
WORDS: Edwin Hatch, 1878 MUSIC: William H. Doane, 1875

PRAYER HYMN As the Deer Pants for the Water+
1 As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after You,
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You.
You alone are my strength my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield,
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You.
2 I want you more than gold or silver, only you can satisfy,
You alone are the real joy-giver, and the apple of my eye.
You alone are my strength my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield,
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You.
3 You're my friend and You are my Brother, even though You are a King,
I love You more than any other, so much more than anything.
You alone are my strength my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield,
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You.
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER Pastor David Range
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, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

SERMON Be Strong in the Spirit Dr. Pascale Delisma-Pierre
*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 479 Jesus Lover of My Soul+
1. Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
more than all in thee I find;
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace.
4. Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart;
rise to all eternity.
WORDS: Charles Wesley, 1740 MUSIC: Joseph Parry, 1879
