FWS – The Faith We Sing (Black Hymnal)
UMH – The United Methodist Hymnal (Red Hymnal)
Gathering Music: I Sing the Mighty Power of God, att. Gregg Sewell[i]
Welcome & Opening Prayer Rev. Andrew Davis
Hymn of Praise: Rejoice! The Lord is King – UMH 715
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say, rejoice.
2. Jesus the Savior reigns, the God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains, he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say rejoice.
3. His kingdom cannot fail; he rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of earth and hell are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice; again I say rejoice.
4. Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take his servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th’arch angel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!
Epistle Lesson: Philippians 4: 1-9 (NRSV)
1 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 I urge Euodia (You-o-dia) and I urge Syntyche (Sin-ticky) to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you also, my loyal companion, help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
The Word of God for the People of God…Thanks be to God!
Meditation: “Pressing On: Think on These Things”
Response: Come and Find the Quiet Center – FWS 2128, vs. 1
1. Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead,
Find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed:
Clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes that we can see
All the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be.[ii]
Moment of Stillness/Prayers of the People/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.
Closing Hymn: Joy to the World – UMH 246, vs. 1, 2, & 4
1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
2. Joy to the world, the savior reigns! Let all their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
4. He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness, and wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love, and wonders, wonders of his love.
