Meditation II Timothy 1:5-7 ESV I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.  For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,  for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Introit Come, Let Us Gather Choir

One: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. *Call to Worship One: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Many: And also with you. One: The risen Christ is with us. Many: Praise the Lord!

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (1) 694 *Come, Ye Thankful People, Come WORDS: Henry Alford, 1844, alt. (Mk. 4:26-29; Mt. 13:36-43) 1. Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.

God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (2) 2. All the world is God’s own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown;

first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (3) 3. For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away,

giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (4) 4. Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin,

there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Joys and Concerns I Timothy 2:1-4  First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Every Time I Feel the Spirit (Refrain) 404 WORDS: African American spiritual (Rom. 8:15-17) Refrain Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.

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.

but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; Glory Be to the Father WORDS: Lesser Doxology, 3rd-4th cent. 70 Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

Scripture Reading II Timothy 1:8-14 Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 

 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher, 12 and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. 

13 Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.
