Call to Worship:
Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise.
All the earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
sing praises to your name.

Worship Song: "Shout to the Lord"
Verse
My Jesus my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Chorus
Shout to the Lord
All the earth let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy
At the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You

Hymn: #415 "We Are Called To Be God's People"
Verse 1
We are called to be God's people
Showing by our lives His grace
One in heart and one in spirit
Sign of hope for all the race
Let us show how He has changed us
And remade us as His own
Let us share our life together
As we shall around His throne
Verse 2
We are called to be God's servants
Working in His world today
Taking His own task upon us
All His sacred words obey
Let us rise then to His summons
Dedicate to Him our all
That we may be faithful servants
Quick to answer now His call
Verse 3
We are called to be God's prophets
Speaking for the truth and right
Standing firm for godly justice
Bringing evil into light
Let us seek the courage needed
Our high calling to fulfill
That we all may know the blessing
Of the doing of God's will

Benediction
August Benevolence - Riverview Estates
Riverview Estates was the vision of Miss Mary Leverich and became a reality on August 17, 1951, when she donated a generous bequest from her estate to establish The Baptist Home in South Jersey. The first building purchased was at the present location, and included the Victorian house, the carriage house and an additional lot for expansion.
On October 1, 1953, the state granted authorization to operate the property as a nursing home. The doors opened for ministry on March 10, 1954, and the dedication ceremony took place on Saturday, October 2, 1954.
We have been providing healing, hospitality, and care to residents of Riverton and surrounding communities for over half a century. Through the Lord’s grace, we still faithfully serve patients in our community every day.
We may not know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future. With the Lord’s help we have come this far, and with the Lord’s help we will have another 50 years of service to the seniors of the South Jersey area.
