Centering Practice
Today’s practice is based on Psalm 18:1-3
- “I love you, O Lord, my strength.” • Make a symbol of love
- “The Lord is my salvation” • Make a symbol of strength
- “I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised” • Call upon the Lord in silent prayer
Call to Worship/Creed
In life and in death we belong to God.
Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
we trust in the one triune God,
the Holy One of Israel,
whom alone we worship and serve.
With believers in every time and place,
we rejoice that nothing in life or in death
can separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Worship Songs
The Love of the Father
Lift up your voices and lift up your praise
Join with the heavens declaring the wonders
Of His faithfulness forever
Sing of the victory, the hope of the world
The Savior has risen, the Spirit has come to
Bring us into love forever
We are the people of God
With the freedom of hope in our hearts
How great is the love of the Father
Lifted from darkness and into the light
The sons and the daughters are loved at a price
Our God has made us His forever
This is the song of the redeemed
The ransomed and the free
Given life at such a price
This is love, this is love
And when the Father calls us home
And we see Him on the throne
Hear the voices sing as one
This is love, this is love
So Good to Me
I waited patiently upon the Lord
And He inclined and heard my cry
He pulled me up out of the miry clay
He set my feet upon the Rock
He gave me beauty for ashes
And joy for my mourning
And praise for heaviness
He put a new song in my mouth
And a crown upon my head
He gave me life forevermore
So good, so, so good to me
So good, so, so good to me
So good, so, so good to me, Jesus
He picked me up and He turned me around
And He placed my feet on the solid ground
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I’ve got love, joy, peace
And righteousness in the Holy Spirit
Woah, oh, oh, oh

Worship Song
Expectation
You redeem our past
You take what’s old and broken
You’re breathing in new life
Rhythms of Your grace
Moving us to freedom
From darkness into light
You will make all things new
You’ll bring Your Kingdom here
We wait in expectation
We lift our eyes to You
Salvation’s drawing near
We wait in expectation
You have overcome
The troubles we are facing
You’re standing here with us
Oppression cannot win
And anxious thoughts are broken
By the power of Jesus’ name
You have me
You have me
You have my heart completely
Would You come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
