Opening Hymn: Father, We Have Heard Your Calling #3150-R
1 Father, we have heard you calling
to your church in every age;
for a sign of true devotion
for a sacrifice of praise.
In this place where you have brought us,
may we always seek to be
one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.
2 Jesus Christ, our faith’s perfecter,
priest and advocate above.
We would reach our broken nation
with the truth of your great love.
So transform our feeble witness,
may we always live to be
one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.
3 Holy Spirit, fire of heaven,
fall upon us here today.
Bring release, bring tears, bring passion,
then transform your church, we pray.
As you pour your grace upon us,
may we always thirst to be
one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.
4 Praise we bring to God the Father,
praise we bring to God the Son,
praise to God the Holy Spirit,
praise to you, the three in one.
Trinity of love inspire us,
may we always strive to be
one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.
Psalms Reading: Psalms 139:1-12………………….Lorri Bingham
Prayers of the People: Please comment with your prayer concerns and especially offer up those things that cause your soul to be in a place of deep lament this day. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.

1 We are climbing Jacob’s ladder;
we are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
we are climbing Jacob’s ladder;
soldiers of the cross.

every round goes higher, higher,
every round goes higher, higher;
soldiers of the cross.
3 Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Sinner, do you love my Jesus?
Soldiers of the cross.
4 If you love him, why not serve him?
If you love him, why not serve him?
If you love him, why not serve him?
Soldiers of the cross.

we are climbing higher, higher,
we are climbing higher, higher;
soldiers of the cross.

Closing Hymn: We’re Marching To Zion #733-R
1. Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord,
join in a song with sweet accord
and thus surround the throne,
and thus surround the throne.
Refrain:
We’re marching to Zion,
beautiful, beautiful Zion;
we’re marching upward to Zion,
the beautiful city of God.
2. Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King,
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad,
may speak their joys abroad.
(Refrain)
3. The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets,
or walk the golden streets.
(Refrain)
4. Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground,
we’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground,
to fairer worlds on high,
to fairer worlds on high.
(Refrain)
