Call to Worship                                                                                             The Petersens

We come before God not fearfully but adoringly,

we worship not as a slavish duty but with delight.

 

God has not marked us for punishment

but for salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Lift up your eyes beyond anxieties and ills

to God whose glory exceeds the starry skies,

building each other up in faith and joy.

 

Hymn                                            “Lift High the Cross”                                    UMH 159

 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.
Come, Christians, follow this triumphant sign. The hosts of God in unity combine.

 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.

Each newborn servant of the Crucified bears on the brow the seal of him who died.

 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree, as thou hast promised, draw the world to thee.

 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim till all the world adore his sacred name.

So shall our song of triumph ever be: Praise to the Crucified for victory!

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
