EVENING WORSHIP
4:00 pm
CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 34
Nate Haywood
He Loves Me
Gloria 34
That God should love me
is more wonderful
Than that I so imperfectly love him.
My reason is mortality, and dim
Senses; his—oh, insupportable—
Is that he sees me. Even when I pull
Dark thoughts about my head,
each vein and limb
Delights him,
though remembrance in him, grim
With my worst crimes,
should prove me horrible.
INVOCATION, CONFESSION,
AND LORD’S PRAYER
Alex Pless, Elder
Praise To The Lord
My Savior My God
I Stand Amazed/ How Marvelous

Welcome to New Members
Toni Kim, Minister of Membership
And he has terrors that he can release.
But when he looks he loves me;
which is why
I wonder; and my wonder must increase
Till more of it shall slay me. Yet I live,
I live; and he has never ceased to give
This glance at me that sweetens
the whole sky.
PRAYER
