.........”When We All Get to Heaven"..........
1. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He'll prepare for us a place.
[Refrain]
When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the victory!
2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav'ling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh. [Refrain]
3. Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving ev'ry day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay. [Refrain]
4. Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we'll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open–
We shall tread the streets of gold. [Refrain]
OPENING PRAYER:.....
........................Rev. George Abosi
CALL TO WORSHIP:....(Psalm 139)
Leader: O Lord, you have searched me and
known me. You discern my thoughts from
far away.
People: Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.
Leader: I praise you, for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works.
People: How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! I try to count them—they are more than the sand.
ALL: We here at UHPC have come to
worship God!
HYMN 1:...."It is well with my soul
(When Peace Like a River)"
PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)
O Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the
world; have mercy upon us as we make our
confession. We grow lax in our discipline, and we disobey Christ. Our faith is flabby when put to the test; our courage vanishes in the face of temptation. Our joints stiffen when we are called to act. We profess loyalty, while our bodies deny commitment. Have mercy upon us and forgive us our sin. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON:
Leader: Hear Paul’s words when he writes:
“Do you not know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which
you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price.” Christ mercifully paid the price for our sin. Through him we may approach God with our temples made clean. Beloved rest assured our sins are forgiven. 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. 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 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
SONG FOR ILLUMINATION:.
..........“Open Our Eyes”...........
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus,
to reach out and touch him,
and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord,
and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus.
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:,,(In Unison)
Prepare our hearts, O God, to accept your
Word. Silence in us any voice but your
own, that, hearing, we may also obey your
will, 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.

CLOSING 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

BAPTISM
HYMN 1:.."It is well with my soul (When Peace Like a River)"
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
2.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
3.
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
4.
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
--------------------------------------------------------
HYMN 2:."Blessed Assurance"
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
[Refrain]
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior, all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending, bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain]
