Hymn of Praise – Praise him, praise him,
Jesus our blessed Redeemer
Praise Him, Praise Him, Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him, hail Him, highest archangels in glory;
Strength and honour give to His holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;
In His arms He carries them all day long.
Praise Him, praise Him! Tell of his excellent greatness;
Praise Him, praise Him, ever in joyful song!
Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins He suffered and bled and died;
He, our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him, hail Him! Jesus the Crucified.
Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows,
Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong.
Praise Him, praise Him! Tell of his excellent greatness;
Praise Him, praise Him, ever in joyful song!
Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heavenly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus Saviour, reigneth forever and ever;
Crown Him, crown Him, Prophet and Priest and King!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious;
Power and glory unto the Lord belong.
Praise Him, praise Him! Tell of his excellent greatness;
Praise Him, praise Him, ever in joyful song!

Prayers of Confession & Lord’s Prayer
Let us pray…
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.
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
for ever and ever, Amen.
Words of Assurance & Peace of Christ
Beloved, let us hear and believe the good news...
One: May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
All: And also with you.
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed,
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin,
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Children's Message
Hymn – By grace we have been saved
Verse 1 (Eph. 2:8)
By grace we have been saved through faith and not by keeping
law.
God’s saints believed by what they heard and not by what they
saw.
Refrain: Oh, how I love Jesus! Oh, How I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.
Verse 2 (Rom. 3:23)
For all have sinned and fallen short. God’s plan not one obeyed.
Christ has for all fulfilled the law. Believe, confess, be saved.
Refrain: Oh, how I love Jesus! Oh, How I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.
Verse 3 (Rom. 5:8)
God gave to earth a perfect love through Jesus on the cross.
While we were foes, Christ died for us. We gained by God’s own
loss.
Refrain: Oh, how I love Jesus! Oh, How I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.
Verse 4 (Rom. 6:23)
We know the wage of sin is death, thank God, we shall revive.
For just as Jesus rose again, we too are made alive.
Refrain: Oh, how I love Jesus! Oh, How I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.
Verse 5 (Rom. 5:1)
Set free, we now have peace with God. Salvation is secured.
How beautiful the feet of those who share this gospel word.
Refrain: Oh, how I love Jesus! Oh, How I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.

Scripture Reading – Romans 5:1-8 (NLT)
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
All: Thanks be to God.The Invitation to Offering

Hymn – Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
Guide me, o Thou great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore;
Feed me now and ever more.
Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through;
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield;
Be thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death and hell’s destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.
Words by Williams Williams
Music by John Hughes
Prayers of the People
WE GO OUT INTO THE WORLD TO SERVE
O Master, let me walk with Thee in lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care.Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear winning word of
love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay, and guide them in the
homeward way.
Teach me thy patience; still with Thee in closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs
over wrong,
In hope that sends a shining ray far down the future’s broadening
way,
In peace that only Thou canst give, with Thee, O Master, let me
live.
Words by Washington Gladden
