Welcome and Grace of Hospitality

*Bringing In the Light of Christ and Opening Praise Screen Come Into His Presence

*Call to Worship

Sing to the Lord all the earth; proclaim His salvation day after day. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His love endures forever.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. He remembers His covenant forever, the word He commanded, for a thousand generations.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story - those He redeemed from the hand of the foe, those He gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever.

Some wandered in desert wastelands. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever.

Some sat in darkness - in utter darkness - prisoners suffering in iron chains. They stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever.

Some suffered affliction and drew near the gates of death. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent out His word and healed them; He rescued them from the grave. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever.

I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, A hymn of praise to our God.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His love endures forever.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to His name. He is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and mountains fall into the heart of the sea. He is our God, and He is with us!

Scripture Lesson Thanksgiving Homily Rev. Jeff Childress Morning Prayer and Lord’s Prayer *Affirmation of Faith We belong to God, creator of all that is and all that is to come, abundant provider of the gifts in this life and the gifts in our own hearts. It is God alone who gives life, who is generous beyond measure with grace and blessing. We follow Christ, whom God sent to teach and heal, to show us a new way of living, with love and trust and courage, with joy and generosity. In this faith Jesus gave of himself, even his very life. He was crucified and buried; yet God raised him from death, and he lives among us, and grants his spirit to us. We live by that Holy Spirit, and entrust ourselves to its guidance and empowerment. As members of the church, the Body of Christ, we devote ourselves to lives of love, rejoicing in the power of forgiveness, the reality of resurrection, and the mystery of eternal life. Amen. *Hymn No. 102: Now Thank We All Our God

*Benediction *Closing Praise (Screen) My Tribute Postlude

November Mission –2018

United Christian Ministries (UCM)

United Christian Ministries (UCM) exists as an extension of the local church

community; working together to help people meet their basic needs by

offering direct services, education, and advocacy.

UCM opened its doors to persons in need in July 1989 with approximately

forty-eight supporting churches. Presently, over 80 area churches provide

resources through faithful financial gifts, donations of food and clothing, and

sending wonderful volunteers who are truly the hearts and hands of UCM

services.

In late 2001 UCM joined with Samaritan Health Clinic (SHC) to form the

collaborative ministry known as Good Samaritan Alliance. January 2003

marked a significant milestone for UCM as we moved to our present home,

which is the Good Samaritan Alliance building shared by both UCM and

SHC.
