Gathering Around the WORD Call to Worship (Based on Isaiah 40:21 and 31) Have we not known? Have we not heard? Has it not been told to us since the beginning? Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles; They shall run and not weary; They shall walk and not faint!
Gathering Around the WORD Gathering Hymn # 645 “Sing Praise to God who Reigns Above” Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation, the God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul is filled, and every faithless murmur stilled: to God all praise and glory!
Gathering Around the WORD Gathering Hymn # 645 “Sing Praise to God who Reigns Above” What God’s almighty power has made God's gracious mercy keepeth ; by morning glow or evening shade God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth . Within the kingdom of God's might, lo! all is just and all is right: to God all praise and glory!
Gathering Around the WORD Gathering Hymn # 645 “Sing Praise to God who Reigns Above” The Lord is never far away, but, through all grief distressing, an ever-present help and stay, our peace and joy and blessing, as with a mother's tender hand God gently leads the chosen band: to God all praise and glory!
Gathering Around the WORD Gathering Hymn # 645 “Sing Praise to God who Reigns Above” Thus all my toilsome way along I sing aloud thy praises, that all may hear the grateful song my voice unwearied raises. Be joyful in the Lord, my heart; both soul and body, take your part: to God all praise and glory!
Gathering Around the WORD Call to Confession (Based on James 4:6)We fool ourselves if we think that our ways are hidden from God or if our plans are better than God’s plan. God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. Therefore, let us confess our sins, trusting in the mercy of God our Maker.
(Based on Psalm 147:5 and 11) Holy God, you are everlasting, the creator of all that is. Your understanding is beyond measure. We confess to you that we have sinned against you and our neighbors. In your compassion, forgive us, for we place our hope in your steadfast love.Gathering Around the WORDPrayer of Confession (in Unison)

Gathering Around the WORD Passing of the Peace of Christ
Proclaiming the WORD Message to the Youth/Prayer of Illumination
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (I Corinthians 9:16-23) 16 If I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in my proclamation I may make the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my rights in the gospel.
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (I Corinthians 9:16-23) 19 For though I am free with respect to all, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) so that I might win those under the law.
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (I Corinthians 9:16-23) 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law) so that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, so that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (Mark 1:29-39) 29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (Mark 1:29-39) 32 That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered around the door. 34 And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Proclaiming the WORD Scripture Reading (Mark 1:29-39) 35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and his companions hunted for him. 37 When they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is searching for you.” 38 He answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.” 39 And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.

Bearing and Following the WORD into the World Holy Communion For all of this we give you thanks, O God.

Whenever you do this, do it in remembrance of me.

Lonely Voices Crying in the City By Billie Hanks, Jr. 1967 Lonely voices crying in the city, Lonely voices sounding like a child. Lonely voices come from busy people, Too disturbed to stop a little while. Lonely voices fill my dreams, Lonely voices haunt my memory.
Lonely Voices Crying in the City By Billie Hanks, Jr. 1967 Lonely faces looking for the sunrise, Just to find another busy day. Lonely faces all around the city, Men afraid, but too ashamed to pray. Lonely faces do I see, Lonely faces haunt my memory.
Lonely Voices Crying in the City By Billie Hanks, Jr. 1967 Lonely eyes, I see them in the subway, Burdened by the worries of the day; Men at leisure, but they’re so unhappy, Tired of foolish roles they try to play. Lonely people do I see, Lonely people haunt my memory.
Lonely Voices Crying in the City By Billie Hanks, Jr. 1967 Abundant life He came to truly give man, But so few His gift of grace receive. Lonely people live in every city, Men who face a dark and lonely grave. Lonely faces do I see, Lonely voices calling out to me.
