Lift up your joys (and concerns) if you feel comfortable doing so. 
Share the experience with others.  Offerings can be made through our website or

Here is our projected Order of Worship:
 

1. Welcome – Pastor Joe
2. Hymn – “I Want a Principle Within (UMH 410)

1. I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
a sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
of pride or wrong desire,
to catch the wandering of my will,
and quench the kindling fire.
2. From thee that I no more may stray,
no more thy goodness grieve,
grant me the filial awe, I pray,
the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
awake my soul when sin is nigh,
and keep it still awake.
3. Almighty God of truth and love,
to me thy power impart;
the mountain from my soul remove,
the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
my reawakened soul,
and drive me to that blood again,
which makes the wounded whole.
 

3. Moment in the Middle – w/Squeaky
4. Scripture Reading – Psalm 32:1-5 – Mariah Brown
5. Special – “You Are My King Amazing Love” – Jason Chamness
6. Pastoral Prayer – Pastor Joe
7. The Lord’s Prayer – Pastor Joe
8. Hymn of Preparation – Stand By Me  (UMH 512)

 
1 When the storms of life are raging,
stand by me (stand by me);
when the storms of life are raging,
stand by me (stand by me).
When the world is tossing me
like a ship upon the sea,
thou who rulest wind and water,
Stand by me (stand by me).
2 In the midst of tribulation,
stand by me (stand by me);
in the midst of tribulation,
stand by me (stand by me).
When the host of hell assail,
and my strength begins to fail,
thou who never lost a battle,
stand by me (stand by me).

9. 3 In the midst of faults and failures,
   stand by me (stand by me);
   in the midst of faults and failures,
   stand by me (stand by me).
   When I do the best I can,
   and my friends misunderstand,
   thou who knowest all about me,

Stand by me (stand by me).
