Song of Praise | Only a Holy God
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a Holy God
What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God
Come and behold Him
The One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
What other glory consumes like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a Holy God
(Chorus)
Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God
(Chorus x 2)
Song of Praise | Joy Comes in the Morning
Praise you when I’m overwhelmed
Praise you in my brokenness
Praise you so I don’t forget
Who you are
Who you are
Praise you when I’ve lost my way
Praise you when I’m so afraid
Praise you ‘cause it doesn’t change
Who you are
Who you are
(Chorus)
Weeping may endure for the night
But joy comes in the morning
(Repeat)
Praise you when I’m empty handed
Praise you when I feel abandoned
Praise you cause I’m not alone
You see me
You see me
Praise you when the road is long
Praise you when my faith is gone
Praise you cause you hear the song
I’m singing
I’m singing
I will fear no evil
I know you are with me
Closer than I think you are
Closer than I think you are
Fighting all my battles
Lighting every shadow
Closer than I think you are
Closer than I think you are
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.
Silent Praise and Thanksgiving

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name.
Silent Confession
Words of Encouragement | Micah 7:18
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.
Vision Sunday Moment
Song of Response | Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
(Chorus)
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
(Chorus)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
(Chorus)

Greetings and Announcements
Scripture Reading | Exodus 35:4-10, 20-29
4 Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: 5 From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 6 blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7 ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood; 8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9 and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10 “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded:
20 Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, 21 and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. 22 All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord. 23 Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. 24 Those presenting an offering of silver or bronze brought it as an offering to the Lord, and everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work brought it. 25 Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. 26 And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. 27 The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. 28 They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. 29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do. (NIV)

Song of Response | I Waited Patiently
I waited patiently
I waited patiently
I waited patiently for you Lord
And you turned to me
Set my spirit free
I waited patiently
For you Lord
Lord I remember when
You helped me stand again
You gave me strength and then
Opened my ears
And I heard your voice
Cutting through the noise
A blessed rush of joy
Eclipsed my fears
(Chorus)
You’ve given my heart a song to sing
My feet a place to stand
My eyes now recognize
My life is surely in your hands
And even when pain comes to stay
My God, you don’t delay
You’re pleased to rescue me
From sinking sand
May all who seek your face
Who long for your embrace
And need your saving grace
Rejoice and sing
Oh but as for me
I have such great need
Come deliver me
Mighty king
(Chorus)
You suffered patiently
You hung upon the tree
You bore my penalty
Conquered the grave
You are lifted high
And with you so am I
So for eternal life
I’ll sing your praise
(Chorus x 2)
Benediction and Dismissal
