Lord, let your light, light of your face shine on us that we may be saved,
that we may have life, to find our way in the darkest night, let your light shine on us.
Lord, let your grace, grace from your hand fall on us that we may be saved,
that we may have life, to find our way in the darkest night, let your grace fall on us.
Lord, let your love, love with no end come over us that we may be saved,

Walk in Jerusalem
arr. Rollo Dilworth

I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Are you ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John?
John said the city was just four square. Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
And he declared he’d meet me there. Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
O John, O John, what do you say? Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
That I’ll be there in the coming day. Walk in Jerusalem just like John.
I want to be ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John.
Are you ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John?
I am ready to walk. Yes, I’m ready to walk in Jerusalem just like John!

Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Joel Raney
Chancel Choir
Lift up your voice, let all creation sing a song of love and praise to glorify the King.
Lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, I say rejoice!
Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore! Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
and triumph evermore: Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, I say rejoice!
Lift up your voice, let all creation sing, rejoice, the Lord is King!
Our Savior, Jesus, reigns, the God of truth and love; when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above. His kingdom cannot fail, he rules both earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell are to our Jesus given. Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, I say rejoice!
Lift up your voice, lift up your heart. Let all creation sing the mighty power, the power of God!
Rejoice in glorious hope for Christ the judge shall come to gather all his saints to their
eternal home. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say rejoice!

offering plate each Sunday in order to participate in our worship through giving and serve as an example
to our children, youth and guests of our love for our church.

Talking about faith with our kids is tough –
and as a result, most of us don’t!
This evening will explore concrete steps that families
can take to give people a faith vocabulary as we
share faith across generations.
