Our Preacher
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.

HYMN
What a Friend We Have In Jesus
Scriven/Converse
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
HYMN
Sweet, Sweet Spirit
Doris Akers
There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,
And I know that it’s the Spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face,
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with your love;
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise;

Without a doubt we’ll know
That we have been revived
When we shall leave this place.
HYMN
Living for Jesus
Chisholm/Lowden
Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.
Refrain:
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee;
For Thou, in Thy atonement,
Didst give Thyself for me.
I own no other Master,
My heart shall be Thy throne.
My life I give, henceforth to live,
O Christ, for Thee alone.
Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
Refrain
HYMN
Down in My Heart
G. Cooke
I have the peace that passeth understanding
Down in my heart, down in my heart,
Down in my heart, I have the peace
that passeth understanding
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay.
I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
down in my heart, down in my heart, down in
my heart,
I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay.
I have a song that Jesus gave me,
It was sent from heav’n above;
There never was a sweeter melody,

I love the Christ who died on Calv’ry,
For He washed my sins away;
He put within my heart a melody,
And I know it’s there to stay.

With the angels I will sing;
’Twill be a song with glorious harmony,
When the courts of heaven ring.

In My Heart There Rings a Melody
’Tis a melody of love.
Refrain:
In my heart there rings a melody,
There rings a melody with heaven’s harmony;
In my heart there rings a melody;
There rings a melody of love.
This is My body, this is My blood,
This is remembrance of what I’ve done.
This is My body, this is My blood, this is love.
Take this bread and remember Me.
My body was broken for you.
This cup is the covenant of My blood
poured out for you.
This is love. This is love.
This is My body, this is My blood,
This is remembrance of what I’ve done.
This is My body, this is My blood, this is love.
Do this to remember, My death you proclaim.
Do this till I come back, triumphant to reign!
This is My body, this is My blood,
This is remembrance of what I’ve done.
This is My body, this is My blood, this is love.

Forgiveness Part II
Dr. R.T. Kendall
CELEBRATION OF THE LORD’S SUPPER
Minister: Jesus said: “The first commandment is this:
‘Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is the only Lord.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your
strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as
yourself. There is no other commandment greater
than these.” Let us confess our sins against God
and our neighbor.
Minister & People: Most merciful God, we confess
that we have sinned against you in thought,
word, and deed, by what we have done, and by
what we have left undone. We have not loved
you with our whole heart: we have not loved our
neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus
Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we
may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to
the glory of your Name. Amen.
Minister: Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive
us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power
of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen.
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
Minister: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them up to the Lord.
Minister: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
Minister: It is right, and a good and joyful thing,
always and everywhere to give thanks to you,
Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with
angels and archangels and with all the company
of heaven, who forever sing to proclaim the glory
of your Name.
Minister & People: Holy, holy Lord, God of power
and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest, Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
THE CONSECRATION
Minister: We give thanks to you, O God, for the
goodness and love which you have made
known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to
be your people; in your Word spoken through the
prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh,
Jesus, your Son.
On the night in which He gave Himself up for us,
He took bread, gave thanks to His Father, broke
the bread, gave it to His disciples and said:
“Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of Me.”
When the supper was over, He took the cup,
gave thanks to His Father, gave it to His disciples,
and said: “Drink from this, all of you; this is my
blood of the new covenant, poured out for you
and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this,
as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
And so, in remembrance of these your mighty
acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise
and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in
union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim
the mystery of faith.
Minister & People:
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come
again.
Minister: Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered
here, and on these gifts of bread and wine.
Make them be for us the body and blood of
Christ, that we may be for the world the body of
Christ, redeemed by His blood. And now, with
the confidence of children of God, let us pray:
Minister & People: 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.
Minister: Alleluia! Christ our Passover is
sacrificed for us.
eople: Therefore let us keep the feast. P
Alleluia!
