Worship for Sunday March 14 THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT March 14, 2010 One Great Hour of Sharing
“He Is Lord” #177
PRELUDE & LIGHTING THE CHRIST CANDLE
WELCOME & INVOCATION Rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, For he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing. Joel 2: 13
*CALL TO WORSHIP Those who want to save their lives have good health insurance, pay their bills on time, exercise and eat right… Those who want to save their lives will lose them. Those who lose their lives in pursuit of God who abandon the world's values, who live generously and faithfully, who listen to a voice beyond... Those who lose their lives in pursuit of God will find life. May we learn the value of loss. May we know the value of life.
*HYMN “ This is the Day of New Beginnings” #383
OPENING PRAYER O merciful God, in compassion for your children you sent your Son Jesus Christ to be the Savior of the world. Grant us grace to feel and to lament our sins that contribute to the pain and suffering of the world and you. Help us by self-denial, prayer, and meditation to prepare our hearts for deeper penitence and a better life. And give us true longing to be free from sin, Through the deliverance won by Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
SCRIPTURE Joshua 5: 9-12 CHILDREN’S TIME
*HYMN “He Knows My Name” By Paul Mancini, Sr.
I have a Maker, He formed my heart, Before even time began my life was in His hands. He knows my name, He knows my ev’ry thought, He sees each tear that falls and hears me when I call. I have a Father, He calls me His own. He’ll never leave me, no matter where I go. He knows my name, He knows my ev’ry thought, He sees each tear that falls and hears me when I call.
