CALL TO OFFERING Rachael Cooley
OFFERTORY ANTHEM Greater Love Chancel Choir
by John Ireland (1879-1962) Erin Gilbert and
Ryan Potts, soloists
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.
Love is strong as death. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, That we, being dead
to sins, should live unto righteousness. Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation;
That ye should show forth the praises of him who hath call’d you out of darkness into his
marvellous light. I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies,
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto to God, which is your reasonable service.
DOXOLOGY*
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
DEDICATION OF GIFTS* Rachael Cooley
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Rev. Armfield
CONGREGATIONAL SUNG RESPONSE #570 WHELPTON
Hear our prayer, O Lord, hear our prayer, O Lord;
Incline Thine ear to us and grant us Thy peace.
LORD’S PRAYER
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.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen
