If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (HCSB)

Call to Worship “Bind Us Together”

We have come to join in worship And adore the Lord our God. Let us come in prayer, expecting God to speak His mighty Word. All is vain unless the Spirit Of the Holy One comes down. Christians, pray and holy manna Will be showered all around. “We Have Come To Join In Worship”

See them gather all around you, Those He bought at such a cost; See the weary, see the hurting, See the lonely, see the lost. Be His hand, and touch the needy; Be His gospel, let it sound! Be His body, and sweet manna Will be showered all around. “We Have Come To Join In Worship”

Let us love our God supremely; Let us love each other, too. Let us care for all His people Till our God makes all things new. Christ will call us home to heaven; At His banquet we'll sit down; Christ Himself will rise and serve us Living manna all around. “We Have Come To Join In Worship”

Offertory Prayer Receiving of Tithes and Offerings 2 Corinthians 9:6 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”

Children’s Message

We are called to be God's people. showing by our lives His grace, One in heart and one in spirit, sign of hope for all the race. Let us show how He has changed us, and remade us as His own, Let us share our life together as we shall around His throne. “We Are Called to Be God’s People”

We are called to be God's servants, working in His world today; Taking His own task upon us, all His sacred words obey. Let us rise, then, to His summons, dedicate to Him our all, That we may be faithful servants, quick to answer now His call. “We Are Called to Be God’s People”

We are called to be God's prophets, speaking for the truth and right; Standing firm for godly justice, bringing evil into light. Let us seek the courage needed, our high calling to fulfill, That we all may know the blessing of the doing of God's will. “We Are Called to Be God’s People”

Concerns and Prayer

Special Music

1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have observed, and have touched with our hands, concerning the Word of life— 2 that life was revealed, and we have seen it and we testify and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we also declare to

you, so that you may have fellowship along with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. 5 Now this is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in Him. 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and walk in darkness, we are lying

and are not practicing the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We have no sin,” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 1 John 1:1-10 (HCSB)

1 My little children, I am writing you these things so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous One. 2 He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 (HCSB)

II. BREAKING OF FELLOWSHIP

If we say, “We have fellowship with Him,” and walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. 1 John 1:6 (HCSB)

III. BLESSINGS OF FELLOWSHIP

But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 (HCSB)

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”

What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”
