Call to Worship - Psalm 133
Hymn of Praise - "Sometmes by Step"
Verse 1
Sometimes the night is beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop
So close you could touch it
But your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hard
There was so much work left to do
But so much you'd already done
Chorus
Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God You are my God
And I will ever praise You
And I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
Verse 2
Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me (him)
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that no less than he
And on this (the) road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
And never beyond Your reach
Ending
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Hymn of Invitation - "How Great Is Our God"
Verse 1
The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice
Chorus
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God
Verse 2
And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Bridge
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

JUNE BENEVOLENCE - ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” - Matthew 5:14-15
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…Let it shine…Let it shine…”
If Jesus had a playlist of music, surely this familiar hymn would be among the Top Five. Jesus teaches that faith calls for action. Sharing our light, as the diverse and colorful expression of Gold’s love here on earth, leads to making blankets, staffing food pantries, cooking meals, building houses and schools, signing petitions for worth causes, and protesting injustices. A simple song with a simple message-our light is on a light stand, for all to see-shine and share. On any give day, light is shining because we are there through our gifts to OGHS. Your contributions make a difference. Your dollars count. Give generously at www.abc-oghs.org or offering envelopes are on the table in the hallway.
