PRELUDE:  (Instrumental)

Klaus Mueller - Musical Director/Organist

Walter Williams - Drummer


OPENING HYMN:....."Because He Lives"  

God sent his son, they called him Jesus,

He came to love, heal and forgive.

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my savior lives.


Because he lives

I can face tomorrow

Because he lives

All fear is gone

Because i know he holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because he lives


How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he gives,

But greater still the calm assurance:

This child can face uncertain day because he lives.


Because he lives

I can face tomorrow

Because he lives

All fear is gone

Because i know he holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because he lives


And then one day I'll cross the river,

I'll fight life's final war with pain.

And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he lives.


Because he lives

I can face tomorrow

Because he lives

All fear is gone

Because i know he holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because he lives


OPENING PRAYER:.....

............Elder Etta Graham-Mitchell


CALL TO WORSHIP:.......


Leader: Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what the Lord has done for me.


People: Truly God has listened and given heed to the words of my prayer.


Leader: You are blessed, O God, because you have not rejected my prayer, or removed your steadfast love from me.


People: I will come into your house and pay you my vows, those that my lips uttered, and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.


Leader: Let us worship God!


ALL: We here at UHPC have come to

worship God!


HYMN 1:.."Love Divine, All Loves Excelling"     


PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)

Almighty God, in Jesus Christ, you called us to be a servant people, but we do not do
what you command. We are often silent when we should speak, and useless when we
could be useful. Have mercy on us, O God. Forgive us and free us from sin; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:

The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. I declare to you, in the name of
Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. May the God of mercy, who forgives all our sins,
strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. 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:

Leader: Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

People: And peace be with you also.


   “I’VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER”.   

I've got PEACE like a river (3Xs) in my soul - repeat

I've got JOY like a fountain(3Xs) in my soul - repeat
I've got LOVE like an ocean(3Xs) in my soul- repeat


LIFE OF THE CHURCH:.........Renea Bush

QUOTE:......................................Walter Williams


PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:..(In Unison)

Almighty God, in you are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Open our eyes that we may see the wonders of your Word; and give us grace that we may clearly understand and freely choose the way of your wisdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PROFESSION OF FAITH /APOSTLES CREED: 

.......I believe in God, the Father Almighty;
Maker of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day, He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy Catholic Church; the  communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting.    Amen.

OFFERTORY PRAYER:

We come with assurance, O God, since you do not leave us alone. Your presence
continues to guide us as we pursue the paths of discipleship. All that we have is a gift of your grace. As we offer our gifts to you, accept them as signs of our commitment to Christ. Blessings to those who gave today and to those who will give tomorrow. May all that we do be in praise of your encompassing care. Amen.

CLOSING HYMN:...."How Great Thy Art "   

[Verse 1]
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


[Refrain]
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!


[Verse 2]
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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze


[Refrain]
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!

BAPTISM

HYMN 1:.." Love Divine, All Loves Excelling"

1. Love divine, all loves excelling,

Joy of heaven to earth come down,

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,

All Thy faithful mercies crown!

Jesus, Thou art all compassion,

Pure, unbounded love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.


2. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit

Into every troubled breast!

Let us all in Thee inherit,

Let us find that second rest;

Take away the love of sinning;

Alpha and Omega be;

End of faith, as its beginning,

Set our hearts at liberty.


3. Come, Almighty to deliver,

Let us all Thy life receive;

Suddenly return, and never,

Nevermore Thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,

Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,

Glory in Thy perfect love.


4. Finish, then, Thy new creation;

Pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see Thy great salvation

Perfectly restored in Thee;

Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place,

Till we cast our crowns before Thee,

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.














--------------------------------------------------------

HYMN 2:.."Faith of Our Mothers"  

1. Faith of our mothers, living still

In cradle song and bedtime prayer;

In nursery lore and fireside love,

Thy presence still pervades the air.

Faith of our mothers, living faith,

We will be true to thee till death.


2. Faith of our mothers, loving faith,

Fount of our childhood's trust and grace, Oh, may thy consecration prove

Source of a finer, nobler race;

Faith of our mothers, loving faith,

We will be true to thee till death.


3. Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,

For youthful longing, youthful doubt,

How blurred our vision, blind our way,

Thy providential care without.

Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,

We will be true to thee till death.


4. Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,

In truth beyond our stumbling creeds,

Still serve the home and save the Church, And breathe thy spirit through our deeds; Faith of our mothers, Christian faith, We will be true to thee till death.
