A word of challenge
rising from the pastor,
if our worship was for
someone
a life preserver, a line
for a drowning person
In the scripture, in the
message
in the songs upon our lips
a reflection of our Savior
the power of His life
A message of hope,
truth in the power of His
name
a way out of the wilderness
the love of God to share
New life in the One who came
the Messiah, Immanuel
to set the captives free
the hope of all, from then
as now
the One who will come again

For a Drowning Person
I served as Liturgist
Call to Worship:
Let us praise
God, the creator of heaven and Earth.
Let us seek God
with open minds and open hearts.
May we feel the
Holy spirit among us.
As the Scriptures
are read and the Word proclaimed,
as prayers and
music are offered, may we receive with
joy and thanksgiving
what is offered for us.
Unison Prayer:
Almighty God, to
you all hearts are open, all
desires known,
and from you no secrets are
hidden. Cleanse
the thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of
your Holy Spirit, that we may love
you with our
whole self, and worthily praise your
holy name.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Luke 7:17-22
Prayer of Dedication:
Loving God, the
giver of all that is good; our lives
are blessed daily
by your gifts. Help us to receive
your gifts with
such gratitude, that we will be giving,
as you are to us.
We pray that through us the whole
world will know
the gift of your generous love in
Jesus Christ, the
one who gave his life for us, and for
the whole world.
Acts 3:1-8
