Easter 4

We Gather in God's Name

Call to Worship: The Bells of Taize

<mp3>http://www.taize.fr/IMG/mp3/bells.mp3</mp3>


Opening Song: Wait For the Lord

<mp3>http://mrlocke.net/files/WaitfortheLord.mp3</mp3>


Wait for the Lord
Whose day is near
Wait for the Lord
Be bold; take heart.

We Hear God's Word

from Psalm 18

I love you, Lord, my strength,
my rock, my fortress, my savior.
God, you are the rock where I take refuge;
my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold.

Lord, you are worthy of all praise,
when I call I am saved from my foes.
The snares of the grave entangled me;
the traps of death confronted me.

In my anguish I called to you, Lord;
I cried to you, God, for help.
From your temple you heard my voice;
my cry came to your ears.

They assailed me in the day of my misfortune,
but you, Lord, were my support.
You brought me forth into freedom,
you saved me because you loved me.

Song: O Lord, Hear My Prayer

O Lord, hear my prayer
O Lord, hear my prayer
When I call, answer me
O Lord, hear my prayer
O Lord, hear my prayer
Come and listen to me



1 John 5:1-4

John wrote: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.

A Time of Silence

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.
