Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Special Music | Pastor Bill Johnson |
Gracious God, we gather to praise you, giving you all the honor and glory, now and forever. Please give us faith to go out with courage, placing fear behind us, listening only to that still, small voice that says, “Do not fear”... “Be not be Afraid”... “Fear not.” Your light is leading us, and your love is comforting us. Thanks be to God. Have mercy upon us and forgive us for forgetting that you never leave nor forsake us. Thank you for your forgiveness; thank you for your love, mercy, and grace that brings us new life in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. |

Prelude | “Thou Art Worthy” | Praise band |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |

Pastoral Greeting | “The Church's One Foundation” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
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, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended 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 |
