Prayer of Invocation – Pastor Dan
One: Let us pray.
All: Powerful God, your love poured out in Jesus Christ provides us with strength which the world cannot offer. Through your blessing, souls find rest. Through the Sabbath, the foundations of human lives are rebuilt.
God of all; stir within us. Shatter our narrow understandings of who you are. By your grace and power, fill us with courage to serve as your witnesses, we pray. Shape us into your messengers of hope and good news.
God of valleys and of mountaintops; you reveal what true mightiness is!
Fill the lives of all your children with joy and promise. Amen.

Hymn – Day By Day – #486

1. Day by day and with each passing moment, Strength I find to meet my trials here;
   Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no causer for worry or for fear.
   He whose heart is kind beyond all measure Give unto each day what He deems best-
   Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2. Every day the Lord Himself is near me With a special mercy for each hour;
   All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
   He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
   The protection of HIs child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
   “As your days, your strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made.
3. Help me then in every tribulation So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
   That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation Offered me within Thy holy Word.
   Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
   One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till I reach the promised land. Children’s Message – Sarah Heend Scripture Reading – Micah 4 – Pastor Dan Special Music – Nothing Left to Say Scripture Reading – Mark 9:2-9 – Pastor Dan

1. God of the ages, HIstory’s Maker, Planning our pathway, Holding us fast,
   Shaping in mercy All that concerns us; Father, we praise You, Lord of the past.
2. God of this morning, Gladly Your children Worship before You,
   Trustingly bow; Teach us to know You Always among us,
   Quietly sov’reign Lord of our now.
3. God of tomorrow, Strong Overcomer, Princes of darkness Own Your command;
   What then can harm us? We are Your people,
   Now and forever Kept by Your hand.
