Call to Worship—

Give the king your justice, O God,
that he may rule your people righteously
and the poor with justice.
In his time will righteousness flourish;
there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more. He shall rule from sea to sea,
and from the river to the ends of the earth.
Come, let us worship God.

Hymn of Praise - ”Thy Word”

Chorus

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

And a light unto my path

Verse 1

When I feel afraid

And I think I've lost my way

Still You're there right beside me

Nothing will I fear

As long as You are near

Please be near me to the end

Verse 2

I will not forget

Your love for me and yet

My heart forever is wandering

Jesus be my guide

And hold me to Your side

I will love You to the end

Hymn of Invitation - #668 “I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go”

Chorus

I'll go where You

Want me to go dear Lord

Over mountain or plain or sea

I'll say what You

Want me to say dear Lord

I'll be what You want me to be

Verse 1

It may not be on

The mountain's height

Or over the stormy sea

It may not be at

The battle's front

My Lord will have need of me

But if by a still

Small voice He calls

To paths I do not know

I'll answer dear Lord

With my hand in Thine

I'll go where You want me to go

Verse 2

Perhaps today there

Are loving words

Which Jesus would

Have me speak

There may be now

In the paths of sin

Some wanderer

Whom I should seek

O Savior if Thou wilt

Be my guide

Though dark and rugged the way

My voice shall echo

The message sweet

I'll say what You

Want me to say

Verse 3

There's surely somewhere

A lowly place

In earth's harvest fields so wide

Where I may labor

Through life's short day

For Jesus the crucified

So trusting my all

Unto Thy care

I know Thou lovest me

I'll do Thy will

With a heart sincere

I'll be what You want me to be

January Benevolence — International Rescue Committee

If people do not have the power to make important decisions, they will struggle to improve their lives. The International Rescue Committee helps those who are recovering from conflict and disaster understand their rights and make informed choices for their futures.”

IRC works to:

• Ensure that people are able to choose where to live

• Ensure that people are able to choose how to live

• Ensure that people are able to influence the decisions that affect their lives

• Ensure that women and girls are equally able as men and boys to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed

• Ensure that marginalized groups are equally able as the dominant group to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed

COME SING WITH US!
