Leader: Creation declares your glory and humanity reverently acknowledges your wondrous love; People: Merciful God, we rejoice at your works. Leader: Peace, endurance, character, and hope are faithful gifts;

People: Triune God, we receive your grace-filled presence with grateful hearts. *Opening Hymn UMH#64 “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty” Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert and art and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All thy works shall praise thy name in earth, and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Children’s Chat MUMC Learning Tree Preschool Sharing in Ministry GOD’S WORD PROCLAIMED Choral Prayer for Illumination: Guide us, O God, by your Word, and Holy Spirit, that in your light we may see light, in your truth find freedom, and in your will discover peace. Amen. Epistle Reading Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and

character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Special Music Robert Reynolds Gospel Reading John 16:12-15 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” Leader: The word of God for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God.

GOD’S PEOPLE RESPOND *Hymn of Response TFWS#2218 “You Are Mine” I will come to you in the silence, I will lift you from all your fear. You will hear my voice, I claim as my choice, Be still and know I am here I am hope for all who are hopeless, I am eyes for all who long to see. In the shadows of the night, I will be your light, come and rest in my name. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine. I am strength for all the despairing,

Healing for the ones who dwell in shame. All the blind will see, the lame will all run free, And all will know my name. I am the Word that leads all to freedom, Am the peace the world cannot give. I will call your name, embracing all your pain, Stand up, now walk and live. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine.
