Centering Practice
Stand, make a little room, and get ready to stretch
- From the top of my head…
- To the tips of my toes…
- All of me is Yours, wherever I go!
Call to Worship/Creed
Jesus said the most important commandment is this:
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
You shall love the Lord your God
With all your heart and with all your soul,
and with all your mind and with all your strength.
The second is equally important:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no commandment greater than these. Amen.
Worship Songs
Let Everything That Has Breath
Let everything that, everything that
Everything that has breath praise the Lord
Praise You in the morning
Praise You in the evening
Praise You when I’m young
and when I’m old
Praise You when I’m laughing
Praise You when I’m grieving
Praise You every season of the soul
If we could see how much You’re worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely we would never cease to praise…
Praise You in the heavens
Join with the angels
Praising You forever and a day
Praise You in the earth now
Join with creation
Calling all the nations to Your praise
If they could see how much You’re worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely they would never cease to praise
I will worship, I will worship
I will worship You with every breath

Light of the World
The world is searching for an answer
A ray of hope in a hopeless world
Who can we turn to?
Where is our rescue?
There is Someone, He’s the answer
He’s the light and He’ll light the way
His name is Jesus
He came to save us
He is the light, light, light
Light of the world
And He shine, shine, shines
All over the earth
Shining bright, bright, bright
He is the Light of the world
Blessing of the Children

Worship Song
Lord, I Need You
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You’re the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay
Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 3:18
(There is now) Nothing between us and God,
our faces shining with the brightness of God’s face.
And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah,
our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful
as God enters our lives and we become like Him.
Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
Together: Thanks be to God.

Worship Song
At Your Feet (Surrender)
My eyes are on the cross
Where You gave it all
I worship You, I worship You
I see the One who saves
Light of heaven’s grace
I run to You, I run to You and…
I… I surrender
I lay my life down at Your feet
God of mercy, You are worthy
I give You every part of me
The things that I have done
The things that I will do
I give to You, I give to You
Holy God above
How could I resist Your love
I run to You, I run to You and…
With every breath, with all I am
O Jesus I surrender
My heart is Yours, I trust You Lord
O Jesus I surrender
