The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; God’s mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning; great is God’s faithfulness.
Be renewed. Be inspired. Be hopeful. Be unafraid, for God loves you, God forgives you, and God is with you, always, now and forever. Amen.
The Fellowship of Praise
Prelude Cameron Jones
*Call to Worship Debbie Taylor
L: When the shadows grow at the edge of the road,
C: O God, keep us steady, help us move onward.
L: When the path is unclear, and fog settles in,
C: O God, help us to overcome our fears, and live in faith.
L: When it becomes difficult to continue on,
C: O God, make Your presence known to us,
L: Despite our weariness and our struggles,
C: O God, be with us, always.
*Hymn of Praise “Down At the Cross” by John H. Stockton
Down at the cross
Where my savior died
Down where for cleansing
From sin I cried
There to my heart
Was the blood applied, singin'
Glory to His name
Glory to His name
Glory to His name
There to my heart
was the blood applied, singin'
Glory to His name, His name
*Invocation and Lord’s Prayer (debts/debtors)
