................................"Over My Head"
[Refrain]
Over my head I hear music in the air;
over my head I hear music in the air;
over my head I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere.
1. Oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
oh, when the world is silent,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere.
[Refrain]
2. And when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
and when I'm feeling lonely,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere.
[Refrain]
3. Now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
now when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
how when I think on Jesus,
I hear music in the air;
there must be a God somewhere.
OPENING PRAYER:.....
..........Elder Etta Graham-Mitchell
CALL TO WORSHIP:....
Leader: Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song; give praise in the assembly of the faithful.
People: For the lord takes pleasure in the people and adorns the humble with victory,
Leader: Let us praise God’s name with dancing, making melody with tambourine and lyre.
People: Let the faithful exult in glory; we will sing for joy and let the high praises of God be in our throats.
Leader: Let us worship God!
ALL: We here at UHPC have come to
worship God!
HYMN 1:.... "He Touched Me" (Insert)
PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)
Dear God, with the dawn comes awareness that we are to serve you in all that we do. Yet we turn our backs on you when called to act. Our eyes deceive us when we lust after others. While we may not murder, we do not hesitate to harm. It is so easy to covet when others have what we want. We fail to love neighbors as Christ taught us to do. We hear how a new day awaits us, to put on the armor of light. We confess our unworthiness to wear your mantle of love. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer, Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON:
Leader: Paul reminds us how “it is now the moment…to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near.” We may then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, for 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 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
BLACK HISTORY MOMENT...Youth
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:,,(In Unison)
Awaken our hearts and minds to Your Word, O God. Give us understanding so that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, we are able to do all that You command for love’s sake. Gathered in Christ’s name, gathered around the Word, we pray. Amen.
SCRIPTURE READING:..

SERMON TITLE:.

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

“Halle, Halle, Hallelujah!"
“Halle, Halle, Hallelujah!"
"Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!"
OFFERTORY INVITATION:
With gladness, let us present the offerings of our life and labor to the Lord.
OFFERTORY PRAYER:
God, we know whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. We seek to bind ourselves to you, O God, and bring your heavenly kingdom here amongst us. May what we offer be a sign of our commitment to offer our finest for the sake of your mission. Use our gifts as firstfruits that we are offering to you as our thanksgiving-we know no matter how much we give we can never outgive God, but we know you can magnify our gifts to bless your people. Blessings on those who give and on those who will give in the future. Amen.
DOXOLOGY - “Praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow"
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

BAPTISM
HYMN 1:.."He Touched Me" (Insert)
Shackled by a heavy burden,
'Neath a load of guilt and shame.
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.
He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole.
Since I met this blessed Savior,
Since He cleansed and made me whole,
I will never cease to praise Him,
I'll shout it while eternity rolls.
He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole.
--------------------------------------------------------
HYMN 2:."God is Here" (Insert)
God is here! As we your people
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share.
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of the Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font and pulpit;
Here the cross has central place.
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence, as in speech,
here, in newness and renewal,
God the Spirit comes to each.
Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold;
Here as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old.
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the Gospel;
help us work your purpose out.
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We, who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe!
