Grace Presbyterian Church
Following Jesus, we love, welcome, and serve.
Welcome & Announcements
Prelude (8:00) "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" arr. M. Bober
(10:15) "Blessed Is the One" Half Notes Choir
Call to Worship:
Like water drenching a desert,
God’s grace is poured into our hearts.
Like an optometrist putting a pair of glasses on a child,
Jesus helps us to see the wonders around us.
Like a mother wiping tears off a child’s cheeks,
The Spirit comforts us when everything falls apart.
**Hymn #451 “Open My Eyes, That I May See”
**Affirmation of Faith
In life and death we belong to God. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image, of every race and people, to live in one community. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Moment for Stewardship Shawn Shillington
Time with Young Disciples (10:15) Dimes for Hunger Collection
Anthem (10:15) "I Am Alive and I Can See" Grace Notes Choir
Scripture Mark 10: 46-52
Message
Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer
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.
**Hymn #450 “Be Thou My Vision”
**Benediction
**Choral Blessing (face center aisle to bless one another)
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind blow at your back, may the sun shine warmly on your face, may the rain fall softly on your field, and, until we meet again, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of God’s hand.
