Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “Come Ye Thankful People Come”
Come ye thankful people come raise the song of harvest-home
All is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied
Come to God's own temple come raise the song of harvest-home
All the world is God's own field fruit unto His praise to yield
Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown
First the blade and then the ear then the full corn shall appear
Lord of harvest grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be
For the Lord our God shall come and shall take His harvest home
From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away
Give His angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore
Even so Lord quickly come to Thy final harvest-home
Gather Thou Thy people in free from sorrow free from sin
There forever purified in Thy presence to abide
Come with all Thine angels come raise the glorious harvest-home
Amen!

Offering and Hymn “We Gather Together”
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing He chastens and hastens His will to make known
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing Sing praises to His name He forgets not His own
Beside us to guide us our God with us joining ordaining maintaining His kingdom divine
So from the beginning the fight we were winning thou Lord was at our side all glory be Thine
We all do extol Thee thou Leader triumphant and pray that Thou still our Defender will be
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation Thy Name be ever praised O Lord make us free

Sermon Happiness Doubled by Wonder
Closing Hymn “Thank You Jesus for the Blood”
I was a wretch I remember who I was I was lost I was blind I was running out of time
Sin separated the breach was far too wide but from the far side of the chasm
You had me in Your sight
So You made a way across the great divide left behind Heaven's throne to build it here inside
There at the cross You paid the debt I owed broke my chains freed my soul
For the first time I had hope
Chorus
Thank You Jesus for the blood applied thank You Jesus it has washed me white
Thank You Jesus You have saved my life brought me from the darkness into glorious light
You took my place laid inside my tomb of sin You were buried for three days
But then You walked right out again and now death has no sting and life has no end
For I have been transformed by the blood of the Lamb [Chorus]
There is nothing stronger than (Oh) the wonder working power
Of the blood the blood
That calls us sons and daughters we are ransomed by our Father
Through the blood the blood(2x’s)[Chorus]
Glory to His name glory to His Name
There to my heart was the blood applied glory to His name
Benediction
