ORDER OF WORSHIP
Gathering and Centering Ourselves for Worship
Welcome & Announcements
Prelude
Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee - arr. Sharon Elery Rogers
Joyful Noise Ringers
Call to Worship
based on Psalm 139
One:
God, you search me and know me.
Before I sit, you know when I will rise.
Many:
God, you search me and know me.
Before I speak, you know what I will say.
One:
God, you search me and know me, in my joy and despair,
in my breathing in and breathing out.
Many:
God, you search me and know me.
Your knowledge is too deep to reach, too vast to comprehend.
God, you search me and know me.
Search me, O God, and know my heart.
Hymn of Praise

One:
God of Grace, thank you for tranquil, reflective moments when we are able to recognize you in the world. For all your beauty and your wonder, we give you thanks.

Many:
For women who have survived challenging circumstances, for the faith and witness they have shared with us, we give you thanks and praise.
One:
God of Love, we offer our gratitude to you for siblings in Christ who have comforted us and carried us in their hearts in prayer.

Proclaiming the Word
The Epistle Reading
Galatians 4:4-7
The Word of the Lord - Thanks be to God.
Anthem
Brother James' Air - Gordon Jacob
The Lord's my Shepherd. I'll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green. He leadeth me the quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again, and me to walk doth make within the Paths of Blessedness, even for His own Name's sake. Yea, though I pass through shadowed vale, yet will I fear no ill, for Thou art with me, and Thy Rod and Staff me comfort still. My table Thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; my head with oil Thou dost anoint, and my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my days will surely follow me; and in my Father's heart always my dwelling place shall be.
A Time for All God's Children
The Old Testament Reading
1 Samuel 2:1-10
The Word of the Lord - Thanks be to God.

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.

Prayer of Thanksgiving
(in unison)
Lord, you give us everything that is good—our homes, our food, our families, and even our lives. All that we own and all that we are belong to you. We thank you by sharing our time, talents, and right now our money with others in need. Use these gifts to show your love to people throughout our world in Jesus’ name. Amen.
