*Call to Worship
CLM Twinkle Gordon
Leader: You’ll never know what is possible unless you pop
the top of that container of imagination! When we check out what’s inside and take a look “under the hood,” all kinds of adventures can begin!
People: Life-giving God,
you refresh us from the inside out
with your water of life and spirit.
Open us to your presence within us
and help us see how you are
re-shaping our spirits each day.
Calm our fears, and animate our spirits
for this time of discovery.
Leader: This is the day that the Lord has made.
People: We will rejoice and be glad in it!

1. Precious Lord,
take my hand,
lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak,
I am worn;
through the storm,
through the night,
lead me on
to the light:
Refrain
Take my hand,
precious Lord,
lead me home.
2. When my way
grows drear,
precious Lord, linger near,
when my life
is almost gone,
hear my cry,
hear my call,
hold my hand
lest I fall:
Refrain
Take my hand,
precious Lord,
lead me home.
3. When the
darkness appears
and the night draws near,
and the day is
past and gone,
at the river I stand,
guide my feet,
hold my hand:
Refrain
Take my hand,
precious Lord,
lead me home.

Our Father
who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,

For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power
and the Glory forever.

Scripture Reading
Mark 1:1-15
CLM Twinkle Gordon
The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ.
As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way,
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight,’ ”
so John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And the whole Judean region and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him and were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the strap of his sandals. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tested by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels waited on him.
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the good news of God and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”

*Hymn
Lift Every Voice and Sing
UMH #519
WORDS: James Weldon Johnson, 1921
© 1921 Edward B. Marks Music Company, renewed
1. Lift every voice and sing,
till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies
of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise
high as the listening skies,
let it resound
loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song
full of the faith
that the dark past
has taught us;
sing a song
full of the hope
that the present
has brought us;
facing the rising sun
of our new day begun,
let us march on
till victory is won.
2. Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when
hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet
come to the place
for which our
fathers sighed?
We have come
over a way
that with tears
has been watered;
we have come,
treading our path
thru the blood
of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last
where the white gleam
of our bright star is cast.
3. God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us
thus far on the way;
Thou who hast
by Thy might
led us into the light,
keep us forever
in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet
stray from the
places, our God,
where we met Thee;
lest our hearts
drunk with the wine
of the world,
we forget Thee;
shadowed beneath
Thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God,
true to our native land.
Benediction
