Opening Meditation

 Reading: Psalm 100

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2     Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

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 #215 The Solid Rock  

Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:6-11

6 Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

Pastoral Prayer - Conclusion

*Hymn # 116 Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

*Benediction

GOD, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and the knowledge of a FATHER’S care; make it narrow enough to shut out pride, envy and all unworthy purpose; make its threshold low enough so that it be no stumbling-block to childhood, weakness, or straying feet; but make it high enough to turn back the tempter‘s power.
