WELCOME TO COMMUNITY CHURCH
A United Methodist Congregation
“This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it”.
CONGREGATIONAL WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
MUSIC LEADING US TO WORSHIP
CALL TO WORSHIP -- Quoting Psalm 95:6 ONE: As we come into the house of the LORD today, let us do so humbly, with reverence. Let us consider the greatness and glory of the one we come to worship. Let us celebrate that we can come just as we are, and yet,
God invites and urges us to grow in faith and faithfulness. ALL: It is not a trivial thing to worship the LORD our God. May we worship
with gratitude, in awe of the one true God. The Psalmist wrote long ago; "Come, let us bow down in worship. Let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker." Humbly, with thanksgiving, we too bow our hearts before the LORD our God! AMEN!
HYMN OF PRAISE UMH #64 “Holy, Holy, Holy”
PRAYING AS GOD’S PEOPLE - a prayer by Peter Haynes O God, whose holiness is not limited to grand cathedrals or saintly persons, spectacular mountains or mountain-moving leaders; O God, whose holiness is often discovered in simple everyday places and simple everyday folks; plant your holiness in this place, in us now. Grow us this hour, that we might flower, right where we are, with the beauty of your holiness. Through Jesus Christ we pray. AMEN!.
AFFIRMING OUR FAITH We believe in the grace freely offered in Jesus Christ, in the atoning work of Christ's death on the cross, in the power of forgiveness to change lives, in the redemption that turns sinners into saints, in the wholeness that mercy brings, in the freedom that liberates us from sin's hold, in the new life that is ours, now and for eternity. This we believe. AMEN!
SINGING IN RESPONSE UMH #70 “Glory Be to the Father” Glory Be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. AMEN! AMEN!
CHILDREN’S MOMENT Community’s Kids Dismissed to Fellowship Hall
SHARING OF PRAYER AND PRAISE
MUSIC LEADING US TO PRAYER UMH #348 - v. 4 “Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling”
O for the wonderful love he has promised, promised for you and for me! Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me. Come, home, come home; you who are weary, come home; earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!
PRAYERS OF GOD’S PEOPLE ~ THE LORD’S PRAYER UMH #895 (you are invited to the Altar for prayer)
BRINGING OUR GIFTS AND OFFERINGS TO THE LORD
SONG OF THANKSGIVING UMH #140 -chorus “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided; great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Wellness Resolution Did you make living a healthier lifestyle a priority for the New Year?
Perhaps you would like to join members of the United Methodist Women in a study of Lysa TerKeurst’s “Made to Crave.” The group will meet Monday evenings from

The cost of the book is $5. Are you in???? If so, contact Shirleen Johnston at [email protected] or Diane Yeargers at [email protected].
Adult Sunday school
Beginning January 22nd “The Bible Fast Forward” led by Ron Painter will focus on the Old Covenants and how they tie to the New Covenant.
Join us in Room 212 at 9:45am
Galatians – Why God Accepts Us:
The human acceptance we long for often comes only if we are attractive, smart, wealthy or powerful. And God's standards seem even higher. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul shows us the true source of our acceptance--Jesus Christ. This Bible study on Galatians will help
us know that we are worth much more to God than we can ever deserve or imagine! This group offers a mixture of personal reading and reflection as well as group
discussion. Meeting at 7pm this class is led by Pastor Jim Decker meeting on Monday evenings from January 23--April 3 in the Patterson Parlor. Contact [email protected] or 724-515-7252.
Books provided are $10.
