Each communion Sunday thereafter we will have a basket for those who feel called to give above and beyond their pledge. This "second-mile" giving will help fund the pastor's discretionary fund, which helps meet community needs as they arise, such as gas, lodging, clothing, etc. Feel free to bring your spare cash and change to help make a change in the lives of those in need.

Great is Thy Faithfulness
UMH #140

1. Great is thy faithfulness,
O God my Father;
there is no shadow
of turning with thee;

thou changest not,
thy compassions,
they fail not;
as thou hast been,
thou forever wilt be.

Refrain
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see;

all I have needed
thy hand hath provided;
great is thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter
and springtime
and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars
in their courses above

join with all nature in
manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness,
mercy, and love.

Refrain
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see;

all I have needed
thy hand hath provided;
great is thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!

3. Pardon for sin and a
peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence
to cheer and to guide;

strength for today
and bright hope
for tomorrow,
blessings all mine,
with ten thousand beside!

Refrain
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see;

all I have needed
thy hand hath provided;
great is thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!

Scripture Reading
Mark 13:1-8
CLM Twinkle Gordon

As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!”  Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”

When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.

Prayer for Illumination
Leader: May the words of my mouth,
People: and the meditations of all of our hearts
All: be acceptable in your sight, O Lord our rock and our redeemer.
Psalm 19:14

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
v. 1 UMH #703

Refrain
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.

1. I looked over Jordan,
and what did I see,
coming for to
carry me home?

A band of angels
coming after me,
coming for to
carry me home.

Refrain
Swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home;
swing low, sweet chariot,
coming for to carry me home.

Prayer, Silent Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer
CLM Twinkle Gordon
 
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,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Lead us not
into temptation
but deliver us
from evil.
 
For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power
and the Glory forever.
Amen

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
UMH #368

1. My hope is built
on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood
and righteousness.

I dare not trust
the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean
on Jesus’ name.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils
his lovely face,
I rest on his
unchanging grace.

In every high
and stormy gale,
my anchor holds
within the veil.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

3. His oath, his covenant,
his blood
support me in
the whelming flood.

When all around
my soul gives way,
he then is all
my hope and stay.

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

4. When he shall come
with trumpet sound,
O may I then
in him be found!

Dressed in his
righteousness alone,
faultless to stand
before the throne!

Refrain
On Christ the solid
rock I stand,
all other ground
is sinking sand;
all other ground
is sinking sand.

Benediction
Rev. David Petty
