Celebrating Life Through Divine Worship
First Sunday after Pentecost - Father's Day
10:00 am, June 10, 2011
The time of centering:
Come into God’s presence with thanksgiving and praise. For God has called us to
this place and to this time of worship. We have heard God’s call and we rejoice
that God draws us together in faith, secure in an eternal covenant. Come into
God’s presence with thanksgiving and praise. For God has given us his Son,
Jesus, to be our good shepherd. We seek deeper faith and trust in order that we
might be worthy to be called the flock of God’s own choosing.
PRELUDE Worship begins as the music is played
ENTRANCE OF THE LIGHT
INVOCATION
Holy God, through the
indwelling of your Spirit you empower your Church. Forgive our uncertainty and lack of faith that
often causes us to limit your power in this present age. As we draw close to
you in worship, Lord, we trust in your unfailing love; your forgiving love;
your restoring love. Amen

INTRODUCTION TO HYMN Words:
John H. Sammis, 1887 Music: Daniel Tower
This song gives a simple, clear
explanation of living the Christian life. The title expression was used in a
testimony meeting, following an evangelical crusade in Brockton, Mass. by
Dwight L. Moody. A young man stood to speak, and it soon became clear he knew little
Christian doctrine. But he finished by saying, “I’m not quite sure—but I’m going
to trust, and I’m going to obey.” Daniel Towner, who was in the meeting, jotted
down the words, and gave them to John Sammis, who developed the lyrics from
them.
