Till We Don't Pray Anymore

February 19, 2023 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn “Ancient Words” Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world They resound with God's own heart O let the ancient words impart Refrain: Ancient words ever true changing me changing you We have come with open hearts O let the ancient words impart Words of life words of hope give us strength help us cope In this world where'er we roam ancient words will guide us home [Refrain] Holy words of our faith handed down to this age Came to us through sacrifice O heed the faithful words of Christ [Refrain] We have come with open hearts O let the ancient words impart O let the ancient words impart Prayer of Praise Song of Worship Prayers of the Church and Prayer of our Lord Offering and Doxology Scripture Lesson Matthew 6:1-8 Sermon Till We Don’t Pray Anymore Closing Hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer” Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer that calls me from a world of care And bids me at my Father's throne make all my wants and wishes known In seasons of distress and grief my soul has often found relief And oft escaped the tempter's snare by thy return sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer the joys I feel the bliss I share Of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows His face And gladly take my station there and wait for thee sweet hour of prayer Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer may I thy consolation share Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height I view my home and take my flight This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise to seize the everlasting prize And shout while passing through the air farewell farewell sweet hour of prayer Benediction: • Sunday Prayer: Sundays @ 9:30 AM in the Sunshine Room and via Zoom • Bible Study: Mondays @ 12 & 6 PM in the Sunshine Room and via Zoom • Issues Hour: Wednesdays @ 11 AM in the Sunshine Room and via Zoom • Ash Wednesday Service: Wednesday, February 22nd @ 7PM. • Men’s Lunch: 1st & 3rd Wednesdays @ 12:30PM at Blueberry’s Cafe • Member Spotlight: Sunday February 26th after Sunday service, join us as we learn about Joe and Sandrea Davis. • Movie Night: Wednesday, March 8th @ 6:15PM, at the Paragon Theater. $10/ person to Mary Rush, please sign up.
