Call to Worship
Joyful is the sound we make this morning!
For this day liberates us from doubt and fear. Thankful is the song we sing!
For this day moves us past darkness and despair. Hopeful is the prayer upon our lips!
For this day awakens in us long-awaited new life.
Jesus said, “Where two or more are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Christ lives here and now.
He is among us at this and every moment!
May his peace and presence be known to you.
And also to you.
Let us greet one another with expressions of Christian love.
—based on Matthew 18:20
Hymn of Praise - #343 “Amazing Grace”
Verse 1
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Verse 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Verse 3
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Verse 4
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun

Hymn of Invitation - #377 "Alleluia! Sing To Jesus"
Verse 1
Alleluia sing to Jesus
His the scepter His the throne
Alleluia His the triumph
His the victory alone
Hark the songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by His blood
Verse 2
Alleluia not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now
Alleluia He is near us
Faith believes nor questions how
Though the cloud from sight received Him
When the forty days were o'er
Shall our hearts forget His promise
I am with you evermore
Verse 3
Alleluia Bread of Angels
You on earth our Food our Stay
Alleluia here the sinful
Flee to Thee from day to day
Intercessor friend of sinners
Earth's Redeemer plead for me
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea

May Benevolence - Camp Lebanon

“ There are many ways to get involved at Camp Lebanon: you can donate financially, volunteer as a counselor, participate in a work project, raise money for camper scholarships, donate an item from the Wish List, send a child to camp, pray for our camp, or come up with your own way. No matter where your interests lie, Camp Lebanon has a way to get you involved.”
