Hebrews 2:17-18 (read by #1)-Jackie Leatch

17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters[n]in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a

sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people.18 Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.

B) FIRST LESSON: Psalm 69 1-3, 13-16 led by #2 (Tanya), #3(Helen)

2) Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck.

2) I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.

2) I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.


3) But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me. With your faithful help 3) rescue me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. 3) Do not let the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the Pit close its mouth over me.

3) Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.

This is the Word of the Lord. THANKS BE TO GOD. D) MESSAGE for the YOUNG at HEART, led by Yarlette Bryant, Sydney Brown and the gifted Goffney Girls

E) LITURGY & PRAYER led by #4 (Carlos) & # 5(Jackie)

  • 4) The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

AND ALSO WITH YOU

  • 5) We gather together and share a CREED to remember that in God, we have a Companion who will never fail us and will be with us always. It is a CREED that reminds us that death is never the final answer, and the hope springs eternal for those who follow the God of Resurrection and Life.

I BELIEVE IN GOD, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.* On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

  • 4) We take this moment to confess our sins: Do you confess that you are captive to sin and cannot free yourself from this trap of sin and death, at least not in this life? Do you confess that you have sinned against God in anger, rebellion, frustration, doubt, and fear?

WE DO.

  • 5) Do you confess that, because your neighbor fails to love in the way that God commands, that you also have not loved your neighbor as yourself? Do you confess that you struggle to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?

WE DO.

  • 4) Do you ask, with the help of Jesus Christ, Forgive us, Lord, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name?

AMEN

  • 5) Brothers and sisters hear this grace: In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for you, and for His sake, God forgives you all of your sins. As a called disciple of Christ, I declare the entire forgiveness of all of your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

AMEN F) GOSPEL LESSON: Mark 4:35-38, 39-41 led by #6 (LaKeesha Browne) & #7 (Corey) Our Gospel Lesson comes from Mark in the 4th Chapter


Here I Am-Marvin Sapp



6) On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”

6)  And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him.

6) A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.

7) But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”

7) He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.

7) He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?”

7) And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

This is the Gospel of the Lord. PRAISE TO YOU, O CHRIST. G) SECOND SONG: Grateful


"Grateful"


[Verse 1:] Grateful, Lord, I'm grateful, Grateful for the things You've done for me. Grateful, Lord, I'm grateful, Grateful, I give my all to Thee. Oh grateful, Lord, I'm grateful, For everything You've done for me, You've done for me. [Verse 2:] Praise You, Lord, I praise You, Praise You for the things You've done for me. Praise You, Lord, I praise You, Praise You, I give my all to Thee. Oh praise You, Lord, I praise You, For everything You've done for me, You've done for me. [Bridge:] Yes, yes, yes. For everything You've done for me,

Yes, yes, yes.

[Vamp 1:] Hallelujah, Because I'm grateful. [Vamp 2:] I lift my hands and praise You, Because I'm grateful. [Ending:] For everything You've done for me, You've done for me.


H) Hope on The Other Side-Sermon J) THIRD SONG: Is Your All On the Altar


Please MUTE and SING along



1 You have longed for sweet peace, And for faith to increase, And have earnestly, fervently prayed. But you cannot have rest, Or be perfectly blest, Until all on the altar is laid.

Refrain: Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? Your heart does the Spirit control? You can only be blest, And have peace and sweet rest, As you yield him your body and soul.

2 Would you walk with the Lord In the light of his Word, And have peace and contentment alway? You must do his sweet will To be free from all ill -- On the altar your all you must lay. [Refrain]

3 O we never can know What the Lord will bestow Of the blessings for which we have prayed, Till our body and soul He doth fully control, And our all on the altar is laid. [Refrain]

4 Who can tell all the love He will send from above, And how happy our hearts will be made, Of the fellowship sweet We shall share at his feet When our all on the altar is laid! [Refrain]


  • LORD, GOD, HEAVENLY KING, Almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory, Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Faither, Lord, God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us,

  • You are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, You alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit, In the Glory of God the Father, Amen.

GREAT THANKSGIVING & Preface by LaKeesha Browne Please UNMute & RESPOND The Lord be with you, AND ALSO WITH YOU Lift up your hearts WE LIFT THEM TO THE LORD! Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE OUR THANKS AND PRAISE. It is indeed right and salutary that we should at all times and in all places offer thanks and praise to you, O Lord, Holy Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who on this day overcame death and the grave and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. And so with the Church on Earth and all the hosts of heaven we praise your name and join their unending hymn. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, led by Pastor Todd Please MUTE & SING: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD, Lord God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he, who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna, in the highest. WORDS OF INSTITUTION & Lord's Prayer, led by #8 The Words of Institution are recorded for us in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke as well as by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:

  • “Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night in which He was betrayed, took bread and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: ‘Take and eat; this is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.’

  • “In the same way also He took the cup after supper, gave thanks, and gave it to them saying: ‘Drink of it all of you; this cup is the New Covenant in My blood, which is shed for you and for all people, for the remission of sins. This do as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.'”

When the disciples didn't know how to PRAY in the face of the challenges ahead of them, they asked Jesus for help. He said, "Pray this way!" Will you share with me the Lord's Prayer? Please UNMute & RESPOND 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, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. Lamb, Of God, led by Dolphene Davis Please MUTE & SING:

L) Post Communion Blessing & Prayer led by #8 ALL: May the body and blood of our Risen Lord, Jesus the Christ, strengthen you and keep you in His grace, now and always. Amen.

  • Let us pray. Life-giving God, in the mystery of Christ’s resurrection you send light to conquer darkness, water to give new life, and the bread of life to nourish your people. Help us to stand with Jesus as witnesses to your Son’s resurrection, that we may show your glory to all the world, through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. AMEN.
