Call To Worship:
Romans 8:12-17
So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we in fact suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

You Are My Sanctuary
You are my sanctuary
My hiding Place
Where I belong
You are my peaceful harbor
You will bring me safely home
Out in the dark when the light is gone
Your waves and breakers role over me
And when my anchor won’t touch the ground
Deep calls to deep
You are my sanctuary
My hiding Place
Where I belong
You are my peaceful harbor
You will bring me safely home
You are my sanctuary
My hiding Place
Where I belong
You are my peaceful harbor
You will bring me safely home
In the morning
In the night
In the darkness
In the light
You alone
Will be my guide
For you are with me
In the morning
In the night
In the darkness
In the light
You alone
Will be my guide
For you are with me
You are my sanctuary
My hiding Place
Where I belong
You are my peaceful harbor
You will bring me safely home
Instrument of Peace
Lord make me
An instrument of peace
An instrument of peace (2X)
Where is there hatred let me sow love
Where there is darkness let me sow light
For in the giving we shall receive
And in the dying we’re given life
Lord make me
An instrument of peace
An instrument of peace (2X)
Where there is sorrow let me sow hope
Where there is doubt let me sow faith
Where is injury your pardon give
Your consolation to those in pain
Lord make me
An instrument of peace
An instrument of peace (2X)

Communion:
Head up to the front to take communion.
Head back to your seat
Benediction:
Our Father in heaven,
May your name be revered as holy.
May your kingdom come.
May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.
May the strength of God pilot us;
May the wisdom of God instruct us,
May the hand of God protect us,
May the word of God direct us.
Be always ours this day and for evermore.
Amen
