Chelsey Hedglin Centering Music: Treasure of Jesus: Caleb Dinger, Piano Opening Prayer : Rev. John Hill Hymns: I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light and By Faith I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light Verse 1 I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus. God sent the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus. In him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus. Verse 2 I want to see the brightness of God. I want to look at Jesus. Clear Sun of Righteousness, shine on my path, and show me the way to the Father. In him, there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus. Verse 3 I’m looking for the coming of Christ. I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, we shall know the joy of Jesus. In him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus. By Faith Verse 1 By faith we see the hand of God In the light of Creation’s grand design In the lives of those who prove God’s faithfulness Who walk by faith and not by sight Verse 2 By faith our fathers roamed the earth With the power of God’s promise in their hearts Of a holy city built by God’s own hand A place where peace and justice reign Chorus We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on God our soul’s reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We’ll walk by faith and not by sight Verse 3 By faith the prophets saw a day When the longed-for Messiah would appear With the power to break the chains of sin and death And rise triumphant from the grave Verse 4 By faith the church was called to go In the power of the Spirit to the lost To deliver captives and to preach good news In every corner of the earth Repeat Chorus Verse 5 By faith the mountain shall be moved And the power of the gospel shall prevail For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name Repeat Chorus Ministry Moment: Alison Parker, Faith Development Team Chair Scripture Reading: Acts 2:42: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Sermon: Intentional Faith Development: Rev.

Chelsey Hedglin https://onrealm.org/CrievewoodUMC/Give Offertory Anthem: Precious Lord, Take My Hand: Hailee Hunt-Hawkins, Vocalist / Caleb Dinger, Piano Precious Lord, Take My HandPrecious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near, when my life is almost gone, hear my cry, hear my call. Hold my hand, lest I fall: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.When the darkness appears and the night draws near, and the day is past and gone, at the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. Prayer of Confession: Rev. John Hill Kyrie Words of Assurance Hear the Good News: Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. That proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God! Amen.Closing Hymn: Take Time to Be Holy Take Time to Be Holy Verse 1Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; abide in him always, and feed on His word. Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak, forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. Verse 2 Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; spend much time in secret with Jesus alone. By looking to Jesus, like him thou shalt be; thy friends in thy conduct his likeness shall see. Verse 3 Take time to be holy, let him be thy guide, and run not before him, whatever betide. In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his word. Verse 4 Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, each thought and each motive beneath his control. Thus led by His spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. Benediction: Rev. John Hill |
