CALL TO WORSHIP
*HYMN 715 Rejoice, the Lord is King+
1. Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
mortals, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
2. Jesus the Savior reigns,
the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
3. His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of earth and hell are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart,
lift up your voice;
rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
4 . Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come,
and take his servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear
th'archangel's voice; the trump of God
shall sound, rejoice!
WORDS: Charles Wesley, 1746, MUSIC: John Dorwall, 1770; harm. from Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1889, alt.

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION AND 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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

SERMON Lost or just pre-found? Pastor David Range
*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 731 Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken+
1. Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2. See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3. Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives us when we pray.
4. Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in our Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom our souls rely on,
makes us monarchs, priests to God.
Us, by his great love, he raises,
rulers over self to reign,
and as priests his solemn praises
we for thankful offering bring.
WORDS: John Newton, 1779 MUSIC: Croatan Folk song; arr. by Franz Joseph Hayden, 1797
