GATHERING TOGETHER
Welcome to God’s grace – where the world’s labels don’t apply.
Step into God’s time and presence. Hear God’s gentle whisper: “Be still and know that I am God.”
Let your body and mind rest, and open your heart to God in worship and prayer. Welcome each
other in the love of Christ. Extend hospitality to those new in our midst. “This is the day the Lord has
made. Let us rejoice in it!”
WELCOME & RINGING OF THE BELL

GATHERING SONG
10,000 REASONS (BLESS THE LORD) Jonas Myrin, Matt Redman

Worship his holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship your holy name.

It’s time to sing your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes. Refrain

Your name is great and your heart is kind.
For all your goodness, I will keep on singing.

The end draws near and my time has come,
Still my soul will sing your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forever more.

“BLESSED BE YOUR NAME” MATT REDMAN
Verse 1: Blessed be your name in the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow.
Blessed be your name. Blessed be your name.
When I’m found in the desert place,
Though I walk in the wilderness, blessed be your name.
Chorus: Every blessing you pour out, I’ll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be your glorious name.
Verse 2: Blessed be your name when the sun’s shining down on me.
When the world’s all as it should be,
Blessed be your name. Blessed be your name.
On the road marked with suffering,
Though there’s pain in the offering, blessed be your name. (Chorus)
Bridge: You give and take away; you give and take away,
My heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be your name. (Chorus)
Ending: Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be your glorious name.
You give and take away, you give and take away,
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name. CCLI#1028901
SHARING OF THE PEACE

The peace of the Lord be with you always.
And also with you.
We invite you to greet one another in the name of the Lord and share the gift of his peace.
“THE HEART OF WORSHIP” MATT REDMAN

Verse 1: When the music fades,
All is stripped away and I simply come
Longing just to bring something that’s of worth,
That will bless your heart.
Bridge: I’ll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.
Chorus: I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about you.
It’s all about you, Jesus.
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about you.
All about you, Jesus.
3
Verse 2: King of endless worth,
No one could express how much you deserve
Though I’m weak and poor,
All I have is yours – every single breath.
Bridge: I’ll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself is not what you have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.
Chorus: I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about you. It’s all about you, Jesus.
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it.
When it’s all about you. All about you, Jesus. (Repeat) CCLI#1028901
SIT
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

Blessed be the holy Trinity, +one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting,
whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation. Amen
Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Reconciling God,
We confess that we do not trust your abundance, and we deny your
presence in our lives. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our
own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We
abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and
do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought,
word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew
us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in
newness of life. Amen
Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace
with God through +Christ Jesus, through whom we have obtained grace
upon grace. Our sins are forgiven. Let us live now in hope. For hope does
not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through
the Holy Spirit. Amen
BLESSING OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

For the marvels of your creation,
we praise you, O God.
For the opportunity to explore and study,
For those who guide us, teachers and mentors,
Teach us your ways and guide us in your path,
for you are the creator of all that is seen and unseen.
4
Let us pray for all who are beginning a new school year that both students
and teachers will be blessed in their academic endeavors.
Almighty God, you give blessing and wisdom and knowledge. Grant
teachers the gift of joy and insight, and students the gift of diligence and
openness, that all may grow in what is good and honest and true. Support
all who teach and all who learn, that together we may know and follow your
ways.
We ask that you would protect and watch over them. Keep them safe a as
they travel to and from school. As they learn and teach, help them also to
discover the gifts that you have given each one of them to be used in your
work in the world. As they hear the many voices that will fill their days,
help them to listen most carefully for your voice, the one that tells them you
will love them always. We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen

SERMON Pr. Randy Rasmussen
OFFERING SONG
“HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US” STUART TOWNEND
Verse 1: How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss;
The Father turns his face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.
Verse 2: Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon his shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.
Verse 3: I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from his reward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart;
His wounds have paid my ransom. CCLI#1028901
STAND
PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING
APOSTLES’ CREED
There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. United in Christ, let us
confess the faith we hold in common.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to
the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he
is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion
of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and
the life everlasting. Amen

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; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen
