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.

Praise His Holy Name Keith Hampton
The Journey Youth Choir; Caitlin Wells, director
Sing till the power of the Lord come down.
Shout Hallelujah! Praise his holy name!
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see.
Jesus, Jesus, how I love thee! Shout Hallelujah!
Praise his holy name!
Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for ev’ryone and there’s a cross for me.
Jesus, Jesus, how I love thee! Shout Hallelujah!
Praise his holy name!

Litany for Worship
Rev. Fred Treviño (9:45)
Pavielle Chriss (11:00)
Prince of Peace, as we gather for worship from all the scattered places of our lives,
we confess that we are not always peaceful. Anxiety and stress seem ever-present.
Breathe into us your spirit of peace as we seek your presence today.
Lord, help us to trust you with all the details of life, and experience
your peace that passes understanding. Guide us, holy One.
Special Music
Make a Joyful Noise Rollo Dilworth
Chancel Choir; Michael Lightfoot, director
Rick Holt, drums; Todd Toney, bass
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Make a joyful noise all the earth.
Break forth and sing for joy. Rejoice and sing praises. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Rejoice! Sing praises! Praise the Lord upon the harp.
Rejoice! Sing praises unto the Lord with harp and voice and melody.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Make a joyful noise all the earth.
Break forth and sing for joy. Rejoice and sing praises. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Rejoice with the trumpet and the sound of coronets, sing praises. Make a joyful noise to the Lord.
Rejoice! Let the sea roar and the fullness thereof; all the world and they that dwell therein.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

Offertory Music I Want Jesus to Walk with Me Larry Shackley
Chancel Choir; Dana Boyers, solo
I want Jesus to walk with me. All along my pilgrim journey,
I want Jesus to walk with me.
In my trials, Lord, walk with me. When my heart is almost breaking,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me. When my head is bowed in sorrow,
in my troubles, in my trials, I want Jesus to walk with me.
