August 2 @ St. Paul's UMC: Worship

9th Sunday after Pentecost

Today’s Meditation Verse: “I’m speaking the truth in Christ – I’m not lying, as my conscience assures me with the Holy Spirit…”  --Romans 9:1a  

Welcome – Pastor Charles

Call to Worship (Psalm 17: 1a, 7)—Pastor Charles (Leader) and Amy Abshire (People) Congregation is encouraged to read People’s response aloud on mute setting

Leader: Listen to what’s right, Lord; pay attention to my cry! People: Manifest Your faithful love in amazing ways                   Leader: Because You are the one who saves those who take refuge in You,           People: Saving them from their attackers by Your strong hand.                                       Leader: But me? I will see Your face in righteousness;                   People: When I awake, I will be filled full by seeing Your image.

Jesus, Let All Thy Lovers Shine (Charles Wesley, 1763)--Amy Abshire

Congregation is encouraged to read aloud on mute setting


Jesus, let all Thy lovers shine, Illustrious as the sun;
And, bright with borrowed rays divine, Their glorious circuit run.

Beyond the reach of mortals, spread Their light where’er they go;
And heavenly influences shed On all the world below.

As giants may they run their race, Exulting in their might;
As burning luminaries, chase The gloom of hellish night.

As the great sun of righteousness, Their healing wings display;
And let their luster still increase Unto the perfect day.
