Sermon Text
Subject
Enter to Worship. Depart to Serve.
How I praise Thee, precious Savior,
That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,
That I might Thy channel be.
Channels only, blessed Master,
But with all Thy wondrous grace,
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
Every hour in every place.
Just a channel, full of blessing,
To the thirsty hearts around;
To tell out Thy full salvation,
All Thy loving message sound.
Spiritual “To Do List”
(things God has shown me today)
Witnessing Thy grace to save me,
Setting free from self and sin;
Thou hast bought me to possess me,
In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.
O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner man may flow.
Channels only, blessed Master,
But with all Thy wondrous grace,
Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
Every hour in every place.
—Mary E. Maxwell

May God’s presence bring warmth, enlightenment and joy as
we worship together.Today is our opportunity to renew
our commitment to serve God wholeheartedly and to be
righteous in the living of our lives. A joyous welcome
to all!
Call to Worship
What would God have us do? What gifts do we have that can
serve God?
Lord, guide our lives and our service. Call us to ministries of hope
and promise.
Help us, O Lord, to look beyond words.
Help us, O Lord, to see ways of service.
Open our hearts and our spirits this day to receive your guidance.
Help us to be those people who will bring good news to those in
darkness and doubt.
Come, let us worship God with thanksgiving for gifts of ministry.
Let us praise God with joyful hearts for opportunities to serve.
