OUR CHURCH AT WORSHIP March 22, 2020 - 4th Sunday in Lent - ALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
People: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
Leader: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:
People: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Leader: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
People: For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Leader: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
People: Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over.
Leader: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
People: And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

HYMN
“Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us"
Savior, like a shepherd lead us, Much we need thy tender care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us, For our use thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, thine we are.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, thine we are.
We are thine, thou dost befriend us, Be the guardian of our way:
Keep thy flock from sin defend us, Seek us when we go astray:
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us, when we pray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us, when we pray. -Charles Dickerson

PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND RENEWAL
Unison: We give thanks, merciful God, that in Jesus Christ you seek to unite all things in heaven and on earth. You reconcile all people to one another and to you. Yet we confess that your new creation is not complete in us. In our daily lives we see and feel the barriers that separate us from each other. Forgive us, and fill us with your Spirit of compassion. Reveal those places where blindness and fear block us from receiving your love. Give us the courage to make the changes that will help us to be your people; through the power of your amazing grace. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER: 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

SERMON “Not Everyone Sees” - Jonathan Chute

HYMN “Be Thou My Vision” - Charles Dickerson
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
Great God of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

*BENEDICTION AND RESPONSE
God be with you till we meet again, by his counsels guide, uphold you, With his sheep securely fold you. God be with you till we meet again.
