Welcome and Announcements
*Opening Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River
Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God?
Refrain: Yes, we'll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river, washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever, all the happy golden day.
Refrain:
Ere we reach the shining river, lay we ev'ry burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and crown.
Refrain:
At the smiling of the river, mirror of the Savior’s face,
Saints who death will never sever, lift their song of saving grace.
Refrain:
Soon we'll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace.
Refrain:

*Hymn of Response: Lamb of God
Your only Son, no sin to hide,
But you have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God
Refrain: Oh Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God,
I love the holy Lamb of God. O wash me in His precious blood.
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
Your gift of love, they crucified.
They laughed and scorned Him as He died.
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God.
Refrain:
I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a child of God.
Refrain:

Adaline Isabella Brodersen ~ 1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made
perfect in love.”

acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

*Hymn of Consecration: I Saw the Light
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn't let my dear saviour in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Refrain: I saw the light I saw the light No more darkness no more night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Refrain:
I was a fool to wander and a-stray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Refrain:
*Benediction: Psalm 23:6
