May the peace that passes all understanding abide with you. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Passing of the Peace (We will be using sign language)Opening Hymn: #243 “Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty”Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!God in three persons, blessed trinity!Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea.Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!God in three persons, blessed trinity! Amen.Invocation (Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18)You have searched me,?Lord, and you know?me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts?from afar. You discern my going out?and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you,?Lord, know it completely. You hem me in?behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty?for me to attain. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together?in my mother’s womb. I praise you?because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made?in the secret place, when I was woven together?in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained?for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake,?I am still with you.????Gloria PatriGlory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. OfferingIt is at this time that we have the opportunity to come before the Lord with the blessings we have received and now share in our morning offering.

Chopin…………………………Roy CampbellScripture: Revelation 21:1-6 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth”, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,?and there was no longer any sea.?I saw the Holy City,?the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,?prepared as a bride?beautifully dressed for her husband.?And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.?They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.?‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’?or mourning or crying or pain,?for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne?said, “I am making everything new!”?Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done.?I am the Alpha and the Omega,?the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost?from the spring of the water of life.Sermon:?“New Beginnings” Part II………………………..Reverend Derek WhiteClosing Hymn: #304 “Lift Every Voice and Sing”Lift ev’ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,ring with the harmonies of liberty.Let our rejoicing rise high as the list’ning skies,let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us.Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,let us march on till victory is won.Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast’ning rod,felt in the days when hope unborn had died;yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feetcome to the place for which our people sighed?We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.We have come, treading our path thro’ the blood of the slaughtered,out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at lastwhere the bright gleam of our bright star is cast.God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,thou who hast brought us thus far on the way,thou who hast by thy might led us into the light,keep us forever in the path, we pray.Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee;lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee;shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand,true to our God, true to our native land.BenedictionGo forth in peace, be of good courage, hold fast to that which is good, render to no one evil for evil, but strengthen the faint-hearted, help the afflicted, honor God, love and serve one another rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit now and forevermore. Amen. Postlude: How Great Thou Art, Stuart Hine……………….………..Roy CampbellThank you to the Diaconate for the altar flowers. ................
