CALL TO WORSHIP:............
Leader: O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us
make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
People: We shall come into your presence
with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise
unto you with our songs of praise!
Leader: O come, let us worship and bow
down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker!
People: For we are your people, the flock
that you shepherd. We will know of your
power as we listen for your voice!
ALL: We here at UHPC have come to
worship God!
HYMN 1:..."How Great Thy Art"
PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)
Do not harden our hearts, O God, to the
sound of your voice. We confess we don't
listen to the word that you send. You give us
Jesus, the Word of life in our midst. We
confess our delay in obeying the direction he brings. You promise the Holy Spirit, a source of counsel and power. We confess ignoring such guidance, since we do not respond. Forgive us our sin, and help us through Christ to enter the rest you have promised. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON:
Leader: "Therefore, since we are justified
by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand...But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received
reconciliation." Brothers and sisters, in Jesus Christ we 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 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

and help us to listen.

we want to see Jesus.
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:,,(In Unison)

show us what we ought to obey Jesus
Christ. Amen.

CLOSING HYMN:."Every Time I Feel The Spirit"
[Refrain]
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
1. Upon the mountain, when my Lord spoke,
Out of God's mouth came fire and smoke.
Looked all around me, it looked so fine,
Till I asked my Lord if all was mine.
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
2. Jordan river, chilly and cold,
It chills the body but not the soul.
There is but one train upon this track;
It runs to heaven and then right back.
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.

HYMN 1:......."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!
--------------------------------------------------------
HYMN 2:."I Sing The Mighty Power Of God"
1. I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise;
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command,
And all the stars obey.
2. I sing the goodness of the Lord
That filled the earth with food;
God formed the creatures with a word
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
Where’er I turn my eyes;
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the skies!
3. There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee
Is ever in Thy care,
And everywhere that we can be,
Thou, God, art present there.
