GREETING
OPENING SONG
They’ll Know We are Christians by Our Love TFWS #2223 (lyrics below)
OPENING PRAYER {by enfleshed}
In the darkness of night and the brightness of day, you, O Lord, are present to us. As we wrestle with situations which seem to drain us of our energy; as we struggle to find out who you call us to be, you meet us in the places deep within and your Spirit reassures us with empowerment and courage for the days ahead. Guide us to truth and healing. Amen.
SCRIPTURE
Genesis 32:22-31 (NRSV)
22The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. 24 Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” 27So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then the man[b] said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[c] for you have striven with God and with humans,[d] and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[e] saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.” 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip..

Song Lyrics
| They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love TFWS #2223 We are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord, We are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord, And we pray that all unity May one day be restored: Refrain And they’ll know we are Christians By our love, by our love; Yes, they’ll know we are Christians By our love. We will walk with each other, We will walk hand in hand, We will walk with each other, We will walk hand in hand, And together we’ll spread the news That God is in our land: Refrain We will work with each other, We will work side by side, We will work with each other, We will work side by side, And we’ll guard human dignity And save human pride: Refrain All praise to the Father, From whom all things come, And all praise to Christ Jesus, God’s only Son, And all praise to the Spirit, Who makes us one: Refrain | I Surrender All UMH #354 All to Jesus I surrender; All to him I freely give, I will ever love and trust him, In his presence daily live. Refrain I surrender all, I surrender all, All to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender; Humbly at his feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken; Take me, Jesus take me now. Refrain All to Jesus I surrender; Make me, Savior, wholly thine; Let me feel the Holy Spirit, Truly know that thou art mine. Refrain All to Jesus I surrender; Lord, I give myself to thee; Fill me with thy love and power; Let thy blessing fall on me. Refrain All to Jesus I surrender; Now I feel the sacred flame. O the joy of full salvation! Glory, glory to his name! Refrain |
Song Lyrics
| Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) W&S #3104 Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That save a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear; And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. My chains are gone, I’ve been set free. My God, my Savior, has ransomed me. And like a flood his mercy reigns, Unending love, amazing grace. The Lord has promised good to me; His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. My chains are gone, I’ve been set free. My God, my Savior, has ransomed me. And like a flood his mercy reigns, Unending love, amazing grace. My chains are gone, I’ve been set free. My God, my Savior, has ransomed me. And like a flood his mercy reigns, Unending love, amazing grace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine. But God who called me here below, Will be forever mine, will be forever mine. You are forever mine. |
