Call to Worship | Psalm 95:1-2
Leader: Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
All: Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Song of Praise | Jesus Shall Reign
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more
To him shall endless prayer be made
And praises throng to crown his head
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice
(Chorus)
Jesus shall reign
Jesus shall reign
Jesus shall reign
Always
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name
Blessings abound where’er he reigns
The prisoners leap to lose their chains
The weary find eternal rest
And all who suffer want are blest
(Chorus)
Let every creature rise and bring
The highest honors to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeat the loud amen
Song of Praise | Our Psalm 23
When our lives are filled with questions
And our souls are restless you’re our remedy
We will follow you regardless
We will sing your promise heaven’s melody
Oh and it is so sweet
When we’re lost, when it’s hard
When we’re tired, and the future’s dark
Why should we fear
When we know you’re near
The Lord is our shepherd
He is always near
Though he leads through the valley
Of the shadow of death
We will not fear
The Lord is our shepherd
We will persevere
Though he leads though the valley
Of the shadow of death
We will not fear
(Bridge x 2)
Hallelujah you never left us
Hallelujah you never left us
Hallelujah you never left us
Oh we will not fear
When the world is filled with chaos
And our hopes and dreams
Feel like a memory
We will rest in your protection
When our faith is tested
You’re our covering
Our justice and our peace
We may rise, we may fall
You’re our strength through it all
Why should we fear
When we know you’re near
The Lord is our shepherd
He is always near
Though he leads through the valley
Of the shadow of death
We will not fear
The Lord is our shepherd
We will persevere
Though he leads though the valley
Of the shadow of death
We will not fear
(Bridge x 3)
Hallelujah you never left us
Hallelujah you never left us
Hallelujah you never left us
Oh we will not fear
Prayer of Adoration (Concluded by 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 and ever. Amen.

Prayers of the People
Song of Response | Your Labor Is Not in Vain
Your labor is not in vain
though the ground underneath you is cursed and stained
Your planting and reaping are never the same
But your labor is not in vain.
Your labor is not unknown
though the rocks they cry out and the sea it may groan.
The place of your toil may not seem like a home
but your labor is not unknown.
(Chorus)
For I am with you, I am with you.
I am with you, I am with you
For I have called you,
called you by name
Your labor is not in vain.
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
the fields will sing out and rejoice with the truth,
for all that is old will at last be made new:
the vineyards you plant will bear fruit. (refrain)
(Chorus)
The houses you labored to build
will finally with laughter and joy be filled.
The serpent that hurts and destroys shall be killed
and all that is broken be healed.
(Chorus)
Offering
Gracious God, everything we have comes from you. As we remember who you are and all you have done for us, enable us to be truly generous—with our money, our time, and all we are and have. Use what we give for your glory and the good of our city. Amen.
Greetings and Announcements
Scripture Reading | Galatians 5:22-26
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. (NIV)
Sermon | The Fruit of the Spirit by Rev. Alan Charnock

This is how we know what love is
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us
This is how we know what love is
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us

So if we see
Someone in need
Let our hearts have mercy
We have so much
More than enough
Let us share it freely
This is how we know what love is
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us
This is how we know what love is
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us

More than enough
Let us share it freely

Every sister every brother
In the way we treat each other
Love like Jesus
Song of Response | Christ Our Hope in Life and Death
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
Unto the grave, what will we sing?
“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him
There we will rise to meet the Lord
Then sin and death will be destroyed
And we will feast in endless joy
When Christ is ours forevermore
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
Benediction and Dismissal
Minister: Let us go forth to serve the world as those who love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All: Thanks be to God!
