Prelude – “Sinfonia No. 15 in B Minor” J.S. Bach – William Fei (age 14), piano

Welcome to Worship – Harriet Coppoc

Hymn of Praise  “Because He Lives” – Worship Team

(Verse 1) God sent his Son, they called him Jesus;
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
(Refrain) Because he lives I can face tomorrow;
Because he lives all fear is gone;
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because he lives.

(Verse 2) How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
and feel the pride and joy he gives;
but greater still the calm assurance;
this child can face uncertain days because he lives.
(Refrain) Because he lives I can face tomorrow;
Because he lives all fear is gone;
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because he lives.

Call to Worship* – Harriet Coppoc

The call of Christ is this:
Love one another.
The law and the prophets teach this:
Love one another.
The world calls us to fulfill our desires,
But Christ commands us to love one another.
We do this best not in word or speech,
But in truth and action.
Beloved, let us love one another,
For Christ first loved us.
Come, worship God, who is Love.

Children’s Sermon – Rev. Lisa Williams Hood

Hymn of Devotion – “Thy Word”

(Refrain) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

(Verse 1) When I feel afraid, think I’ve lost my way,
Still you’re there right beside me.
And nothing will I fear as long as you are near,
Please be near me to the end.

(Refrain) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

(Verse 2) I will not forget your love for me,
and yet my heart forever is wandering.
Jesus, be my guide and hold me to your side;
And I will love you to the end.

(Refrain) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Hymn of Hope – “I Love to Tell the Story”

(Verse 1) I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story because I know ‘tis true;
it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

(Refrain) I love to tell the story, ‘twill be my theme in glory;
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.

(Verse 3) 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.

(Refrain) I love to tell the story, ‘twill be my theme in glory;
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.

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.
