Prelude Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus Set by Lloyd Larson
Call to Worship Rev. Sarah Logemann
Welcome Rev. Garrett Mostowski
Hymn 213: In the Cross of Christ I Glory
1 In the cross of Christ I glory, towering o’er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o’er-take me, hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me; lo, it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance streaming adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure, joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory, towering o’er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime.

Prayers of the People & The Lord’s Prayer Rev. Garrett Mostowski
Jesus, remember us when you come into your kingdom
(...)
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Prayer Response: Spirit of the Living God
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me; Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me;
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me. Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.

Closing Hymn: Jesus Walked this Lonesome Valley
1 Jesus walked this lonesome valley; He had to walk it by himself.
Oh, nobody else could walk it for him; He had to walk it by himself.
2 We must walk this lonesome valley; We have to walk it by ourselves.
Oh, nobody else can walk it for us; We have to walk it by ourselves.
3 You must go and stand your trial; You have to stand it by yourself.
Oh, nobody else can stand it for you; You have to stand it by yourself.
