CALLTOWORSHIP(from Psalm 18) Luke Woodcoc

One: For who is God except the Lord?And who is a rock besides our God?

Many: the God who girded me with strength,and made my way safe.

One: He made my feet like the feet of a deer,

and set me secure on the heights.Many: God, you have given me the shield of your salvation,

and your right hand has supported me;One: You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet did not slip.All: The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock,

and exalted be the God of my salvation!

OLDTESTAMENTREADING Exodus 3:7-12 Holy Bible, p. 49 OT

SOLOO Master, Let Me Walk with Thee Paul Sjolund, b. 193Chuck Murphy, tenor

O Master, let me walk with Thee, in lowly paths of service free;tell me Thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear, winning word of love;teach me the wayward feet to stay, and guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee, in closer, dearer company,

in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong.In hope that sends a shining ray far down the futures broadening way;in peace that only Thou canst give, with Thee, O Master, let me live.

APOSTLES CREED(INUNISON)

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 Ghost,born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, andburied; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; heascended into heaven, and sitteth on 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 sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hato bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to sMy tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.

C.S. Lewis

When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can seethat person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directstoward that person.

Philip Yancey

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and letthem pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And theprayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. Anif he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

James 5:14-15

Vision Statement

Grace Covenant will be reborn through faith in Christ for the glory of God alone. By submitting to Jesus Christ as the head of the church, our community will find new life in Him

who is renewing all creation. Neighbors of every stripefrom college students to retiredprofessionals, hardened skeptics to committed believerswill fill Grace Covenant to heathe Good News that God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that all who blieve in Him may not perish but have eternal life. In response, we will train our desires,thoughts, emotions, and actions towards serving God so that He might transform us intograteful disciples of Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
