Prelude – My Jesus, I Love Thee – Melanie Manges, piano
Welcome to Worship – Sylvia Mohler
Hymn of Praise – Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
(Verse 1) Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
(Verse 3) Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother- all who live in love are thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.
Call to Worship* – Sylvia Mohler
Holy God of Love,
There is light in our lives
because of the abundance of your steadfast love.
A love so vast, so deep, so real,
that you became one of us.
May we live within the power of this love.
And may we share its light with a world
where too many dwell in darkness.
Let us worship the God of Love together. Amen.
Children’s Sermon – Rev. Kim Brewer
Hymn of Reflection – I Love You, Lord
I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice
To worship you, O my soul, rejoice!
Take joy, my King, in what you hear:
May it be a sweet, sweet sound, in your ear. (Repeat)

Hymn of Faith – My Jesus, I Love Thee
(Verse 1) My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine,
For thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
(Verse 2) I love thee because thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
Offering – Rev. Brewer
Almighty God, giver of every good and perfect gift,
Teach us to give to you all that we have and all that we are,
That we might praise you not with our words only,
But with our whole lives. Amen.
