Countdown Timer
Alive Againwritten by Matt Maher
I woke up in darkness
sounded by silence
oh where, where have I gone?
I woke to reality
losing its grip on me
oh where, where have I gone?
Cause I can see the light
before I see the sunrise
You called and you shouted
broke through my deafness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
You shattered my darkness
washed away my blindness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
Late have I loved You
You waited for me, I
searched for You
What took me so long?
I was looking outside
As if Love would ever
want to hide
I'm finding I was wrong
'Cause I can feel the wind
Before it hits my skin
You called and you shouted
broke through my deafness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
You shattered my darkness
washed away my blindness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
I’m alive again!
'Cause I want You,
Yes I want You
I need You, and I'll do
whatever I have to
Just to get through
'Cause I love You,
Yeah I love You
You called and you shouted
broke through my deafness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
You shattered my darkness
washed away my blindness
now I’m breathing inand breathing out
I’m alive again!
Confession of Faith
A 21st Century Creed
In an age of anxiety, we believe that peace comes from Jesus Christ, the Son
of God.
In an age of confusion, we believe that the Bible is
the Word of God, inerrant and infallible.
In an age of doubt, we believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the
virgin Mary.
In an age of guilt, we believe that Jesus died on the cross to remove the power of sin and Satan
from our lives.
In an age of reason, we believe that God is at
work in the sacraments of Baptism and Communion.
In an age of constant change, we believe in the
unchanging Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
Offering
Each of you should give what you have decided in your
heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for
God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Matthew 25:31-46 p. 690
Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13
I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them. He also gives me clothing and
shoes, food and drink, house and home, wife and children, land, animals, and all I have. He richly and daily provides me with all that I need to support this body and life
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:32
Matthew 25:34-37p. 690
Love has a face!
Prayer
Confession of Sins
L: God is light; in him there is no
darkness at all.
C: If we walk in the light as God himself is in the light, we have fellowship with
one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son,
cleanses us from all sin.
L: With steadfast love and wondrous
grace, the Lord desires to make us
clean.
(Silence for self-examination)
L: Almighty God,
C: You dwell in light
unapproachable. Unprotected, we
perish in your presence. For our hearts are
darkened,
our minds clouded; we call
for night to cover our
actions; we have often loved
darkness rather than the light.
L: Jesus Christ is the light of the
world, the light no darkness can
overcome.
C: Therefore, we look only to
Jesus for the forgiveness we so desperately
need.
L: As a Christ follower, God
hears your prayer. “I choose
to make you clean. Your sins
are forgiven,” the Savior says.
C: We have seen Jesus’
glory and his victory in the empty tomb.
Our sin debt has been paid in
full. We are free to rejoice and
serve!

Prayer of The Church
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our
sins as we forgive those who
sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver
us from evil, for the kingdom, the power and the
glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The love of God,
And the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you
always!
Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare
Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let all their songs employ;While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the groundHe comes to makeHis blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,Far as the curse is found,Far as, far as, the curse is
found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations proveThe glories of
His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,And wonders, wonders,
of His
love.
