PRAYER (unison)
We
lift our prayers, to you O God, who created all things. In the words of the
Psalms you have promised protection to those who love you. Through the words of
1 Timothy you remind us to focus on you and not the distractions of our world.
Forgive us for our inability to always love or to always center our lives on
you. Please cover us with your grace that we may try again in the hope and
faith provided to us through your son,
who
taught us to prayÉ
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
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not
into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the
glory, forever. Amen.

Go now in peace. Never be afraid.

Choir Anthems
Pilgrim Choir 8:45, Chancel Choir 11:00
Heaven,
Peace and Joy!, Earnest Hargrove
No heaven can
come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
No peace lies
in the future that is not hidden in this present instant.
The gloom of
the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within reach is joy.
Take heaven,
take peace, take joy!
Hymn of
Triumph, Craig Curry
Come and
raise a hymn of triumph! Songs of praise to Christ we bring!
Let us lift
our joyful voices in thanksgiving to our King!
Young and
old, praise Him together! Come and bow before His throne!
All creation,
give Him honor! Praise our God, and Him alone!
God, our
Father, we adore You, You have put the stars in place.
You have sent
Your Son from heaven to redeem the human race.
Christ, our
Savior, Lamb of Glory, we adore Your, Precious Son!
Breath of
God, the Holy Spirit, we adore You, Three in One!
O, let all
within us praise You, Lord, we magnify Your name!
You have
rescued us from evil, freeing us from sing and shame!
With
rejoicing we acclaim You! Raising hear and voice and hand!
We sing out
Your hymn of triumph! By Your grace alone we stand!
Because
You Are God's Chosen Ones, Col.
3:12-17
Because you
are God's chosen ones, because you are kept in his care:
Clothe
yourselves with mercy and kindness, humility, meekness and prayer.
Bear with one
another, forgive one another, forgive as the Lord forgives you.
Over all
these put on garments of love which will make your life over anew.
Christ's
peace must reign in you;
Christ's word
ordain in you;
Christ's love
remain in your hearts.
Thanks be to
God, and to Him give all praises; Pledge all to Him, who to new life upraises.
By wisdom made perfect, instruct one another;
Sing hymns to
the Lord from your hearts.
In all speech
and action give thanks unto God, who to you all his blessings imparts.
On Eagle's
Wings, Psalm 91
You who dwell
in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in
His shadow for life,
Say to the
Lord, "My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!"
And He will
raise you upon eagle's wings,
bear you on
the breath of dawn,
make you to
shine like the sun
and hold you
in the palm of His hand.
The snare of
the fowler will never capture you, and the famine will being you no fear, Under
His wings your refuge,
His
faithfulness your shield.
And He will
raise you upon eagle's wings,
bear you on
the breath of dawn,
make you to
shine like the sun
and hold you
in the palm of His hand.
You need not
fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow
that flies by day,
Though
thousands fall about you,
but near you
it will not come;
And He will
raise you upon eagle's wings,
bear you on
the breath of dawn,
make you to
shine like the sun
and hold you
in the palm of His hand.
For to His
angels He's given a command,
they shall
guard you in all of your ways
upon their
hands they will bear you up,
lest you
break your foot against a stone.
And He will
raise you upon eagle's wings,
bear you on
the breath of dawn,
make you to
shine like the sun
and hold you
in the palm of His hand.
