OPENING HYMN......"Battle Hymn of the                                                           Republic"   

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword

His truth is marching on


Glory, Glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!


2. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps

His day is marching on.


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His day is marching on!


3. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel

Since God is marching on


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Since God is marching on!


4. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on


Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Our God is marching on!

God of love, kindness, and compassion, we
return to You seeking pardon and forgiveness
for our sins and misdeeds. Where at times we
have disrespected or dishonored the women
of mothers in our lives, where we have taken
them for granted, or abused them in any way,
we repent. Whereas women we have
demeaned or abused ourselves, we repent.
Restore us to a place of dignity worthy of
respect. Restore us to a place of dignity
worthy of respect. Help all women to
recognize that they too are daughters of
Abraham. As redeemed people, they are
daughters of the King of kings. Have mercy
upon all present here for all have fallen short
of Your glory. Therefore, we all need
Your mercy. Grant us peace and love in our

name of Christ Jesus. Amen!


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:

of God, who has transferred us from the
dominion of darkness and to the care of
Christ our Savior. So, walk in Christ’s love
with assurance of your redemption and the
forgiveness of sins. Beloved rest assured it
is God’s love that sets us free. Amen.


GLORIA PATRI: .......................(In Unison)

Glory be to Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen. .


PASSING THE PEACE:

Through eternal ages let his praises ring;

Standing on the promises of God.


Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;

Standing, standing,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God.


3. Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,

Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,

Standing on the promises of God.


Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God.


4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

List'ning ev'ry moment to the Spirit's call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.


Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I'm standing on the promises of God.

HYMN 1:.."Immortal, Invisible, God                                 Only Wise"  

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.


2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;

Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above

Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.


3. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;

In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;

We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,

And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.


4. Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light,

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;

All praise we would render; O help us to see

'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!
