CALL TO WORSHIP
*Hymn 698 God of the Ages+
1. God of the ages, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2. Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
in this free land with thee our lot is cast;
be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,
thy Word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3. From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
be thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
thy true religion in our hearts increase;
thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4. Refresh thy people on their toilsome way;
lead us from night to never-ending day;
fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

CHILDREN’S TIME
*HYMN 696 America the Beautiful+
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
2 O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
who more than self, their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine.
3 O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God mend thine every flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.
WORDS: Katharine Lee Bates, 1904 MUSIC: Samuel A. Ward, 1888

PRAYER HYMN 314 I Come to the Garden Alone+
1 I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
2 He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
3 I'd stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; thru the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
none other has ever known.
WORDS: C. Austin Miles, 1913 MUSIC: C. Austin Miles, 1913; adapt. By Charles H. Webb, 1987
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.
ANTHEM Choir led by Helen Whitehorn, Choir Director
SERMON What is a positive addiction? Pastor David Range
*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH 370 Victory in Jesus+
1. I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory,
how he gave his life on Calvary to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of his precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.
Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!
He sought me and bought me
with his redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew him,
and all my love is due him;
he plunged me to victory
beneath the cleansing flood.
2. I heard about his healing, of his cleansing power revealing,
how he made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see;
and then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,"
and somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory.
Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!
He sought me and bought me
with his redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew him,
and all my love is due him;
he plunged me to victory,
beneath the cleansing flood.
3. I heard about a mansion he has built for me in glory,
and I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea;
about the angels singing and the old redemption story,
and some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory.
Oh, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!
He sought me and bought me
with his redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew him,
and all my love is due him;
he plunged me to victory
beneath the cleansing flood.
