Nov. 15 Livestream

Good Sunday morning once again to everyone. Even while we cannot be together in our sanctuary here at Ivy Chapel, we hope you can find some comfort in this shared experience.

Here’s today’s order for worship:

Prelude/ Anna DiVesta

Responsive Call to Worship/ Pastor Dan Wilson
One: Come, one! Come, all! All: God is worthy of our highest praise!
One: There are certain things which God alone can do. All: God’s wonders never cease!
One: We come together in amazement to praise God our Savior! All: Come, one and all!
Prayer of Invocation / Pastor Dan
One: Let us pray.
All: Merciful and Gracious God, remind us this morning that you delight in all creation. It is a joy to be with you on this day of life that you have given! Each one of us is a uniquely valuable part of your Church. By bringing all of us together, you form us into your spectacular masterpiece. You are the Potter, and we are the clay. Refresh us through your Living Word, and teach us your way, O God. May human hearts everywhere learn to delight in you. Focusing on you brings life! Lead us as we continue learning to give away the gifts which you so abundantly are giving us. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God! Age to age, you’re still the same; by the power of your name. El Shaddai, God Almighty; we will praise and lift you high! Amen.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyonna Adonai,

Hymn/ “Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord” #424

1. Teach me Thy way, O Lord, Teach me Thy Way!
   Thy guiding grace afford – Teach me Thy way!
   Help me to walk aright, More by faith, less by sight;
   Lead me with heavenly light, Teach me Thy way!
2. When I am sad at heart, Teach me Thy way!
   When earthly joys depart, Teach me Thy way!
   In hours of loneliness, In times of dire distress,
   In failure or success, Teach me Thy way!
3. When doubts and fears arise, Teach me Thy way!
   When storms o’respread the skies, Teach me Thy way!
   Shine thro’ the clouds and rain, Thro’ sorrow, toil and pain;
   Make Thou my pathway plain, Teach me Thy way!
4. Long as my life shall last, Teach me Thy way!
   Where’er my lot be cast, Teach me Thy way!
   Until the race is run, Until the journey’s done,
   Until the crown is won, Teach me Thy way!

Benediction/ Pastor Dan
