OCTOBER 16 SERVICE

Enter to Worship, Depart to Serve

We invite you to sign the worship registry at the end of each row and pass it on to others in your pew, then pass the book back. 

Our Mission:  "To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."

WORDS OF WELCOME/ANNOUNCEMENTS

ORGAN PRELUDE

+CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader:      Thanks be to Christ Jesus who has called us into service and enlisted us in a new expedition.
PEOPLE: We have been shown much mercy since we enrolled as pilgrims in the faith.
Leader:      Let us surge forward as comrades in the company of Christ; let us make preparations for a spiritual journey.
PEOPLE: We do not know just what we may encounter. The mysteries of God are many and the will of God is often hard to track.
Leader:      Shoulder your packs and gear. The Spirit will be our guide. No enemy will prevail against the Church of Jesus.
PEOPLE: We are ready to map out the uncertain terrain. We have our orders. It is enough for us to know that we start out with a perfect guide who would even give his life for us.
