Moravian Book of Worship (1995) pp102-103

The Lord our God, the Lord is One.

Let us love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength.

We know God as Father, who seeks loving relationships with all whom God has Created.

Like a mother, God has nurtured us all our days and has been near in time of trouble.

Praise the Lord, and do not forget how kind God is:

Who forgives our sins and redeems us from the grave,

Who blesses us with steadfast love and tender mercy,

Who fills our lives with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

We know God as Jesus Christ, the Word, who became a human being and lived among us – full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God. The only Son, Who is one with God and is at the Father’s side, The Son has made God known.

God Created the whole universe through God and for God.  Christ existed before all things, and in union with God all things have their proper place.

Jesus was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death, even death on the cross.

For this reason God raised Christ to the highest place above, and gave Christ the name that is greater than any other name.

And so, in honor of the name of Jesus, all beings in Heaven, on Earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees, and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

We know God as the Holy Spirit, Who reveals the truth about God.

The world cannot receive the Spirit because it cannot see or know God. But we know God, because the Spirit remains with us and is in us.

God’s Spirit joins with our spirits to declare that we are God’s children.

The Holy Spirit is the Helper who stays with us forever.

Because we are God’s children, God sent the Spirit of The Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out: “Father, my Father!”

Like a mighty wind, like a blazing fire, the Holy Spirit rests upon us and fills us with power, making us witnesses for Christ, to the neighborhood, to the nation, and to the ends of the Earth.

May you have power to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, and so be filled with all the fullness of God.

It is through Christ that all of us are able to be present in one Spirit into the presence of the Father. Amen.

In Christ Alone

¹In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This corner stone, this solid ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when striving cease!
My comforter my All in All-
here in the love of Christ I stand.

²In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died,
the wrath of God was satisfied;
for every sin on Him was laid-
here in the death of Christ I live.

³There in the ground His body lay,
light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stand in victory,
sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
for I am His and He is mine-
bought with the precious blood of Christ.

⁴No guilt in life, no fear in death-
this is the pow’r of Christ in me.
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of Hell, no scheme of man,
can never pluck me from His hand;
‘Til He returns or calls me home-
here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

Angakiu Jesusam Atra (Take the Name of Jesus) NH 96

¹Angakiu Jesusam atra angniturlulriame,

Angnimik tsikertsikaten ayauskiu ayakuvit.

(Chorus)

Atkigtar asilria nuname angniutkak,

Atkigtar asilria kilagme angniutnguarkak

²Angakiu Jesus kisianik tsatsitukutikurluku,

Naspatit kuyuruskatgen atkigtar petsagvikiu.

³Asilria Jesusam atra yutsimta angniutika;

The Solid Rock TWC 517

¹My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

(Chorus)

On Christ the solid Rock I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

²When darkness veils His lovely face,
I res on His unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale
my anchor hold within the veil.

³His oath, His covenant, His blood
support me in the whelming flood;
when all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay.

⁴When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found,
dressed in His righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.

Agayun Kenkarkaugaqa (Thou Shalt Love the Lord) NH 60

Agaiutka, ilankatlu kinkarkauganka whi.

²Ilanka whangtun kinkitumke pitselerngaitanka,

Pitniktlu takakiarkaugua atauwhakaskitluketlu

I will Glory in the Cross GiTL p.123

¹I boast not of works, nor tell of good deeds;
For naught have I done to merit His grace.
All glory and praise shall rest upon Him,
So willing to die in my place.

(Chorus)

I will glory in the cross, in the cross,
lest His suff’ring all be in vain.
I will weep no more for the cross that He bore;
I will glory in the cross.

²My trophies and crowns, my robe stained with sin,
‘twas all that I had to lay at His feet;
Unworthy to eat from the table of life

‘til love made provision for me.

Sermon Notes – Ecclesiastes 5-6

1. We must “S_____” our steps when we approach the house of God.

1 Corinthians teaches us that all Christians are a T_____ of the Holy Spirit!

We should be C_____ to utter a “vow” before the Lord.

REFLECT: Do you guard your steps and guard your tongue before the Lord?  What does that look like in practical every day life?

2. The kingdom of men is S_____ unjust.  It is unjust B_____ any hope on its O_____.

Only when justice is paired with the Good News of Jesus Christ is there any real hope for lasting justice.

REFLECT: What is your response to the injustice in this world?  How can you help move the lost and hurting from meaningless into eternal hope?

3. When we D_____ in the toil of the Lord, we are too P_____ with gladness of heart to know “hebel.”

However, if we keep God’s blessings for ourselves, it is “hebel.”  

Instead, God blesses us I_____ O_____ to bless others!

REFLECT: Do you take joy in doing the Lord’s work?  Why or why not?  In what ways might God be calling you to do more to bless others?

There are a few different ways you can present offerings to the Lord through our church:

1. Online Giving
