MUSIC LEADING TO WORSHIP “How Majestic Is Your Name”
• CALL TO WORSHIP - Based on Psalm 100
ONE: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. ALL: Worship the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence with singing. ONE: Know that the Lord is God. God made us, and we are God’s people. ALL: Enter God’s house with thanksgiving and praise. ONE: Thank God and bless God’s holy name. ALL: The Lord is good. God’s love is steadfast and endures forever. ONE: God’s faithfulness knows no boundary, no end. ALL: Praise the Lord! Let us worship with our whole hearts.
• OPENING HYMN UMH # 73 “O Worship the King”
• GATHERING PRAYER
Gracious and all-powerful God, we come before you acknowledging you as King, and in so doing, acknowledge ourselves as your people. Through the life of your Son, Jesus Christ, you showed yourself to be a Servant-King, a King for whom love and mercy, humility and grace, faith and faithfulness were a way of life, and you call us to the same. Remind us that it is in self-sacrifice, not in self-promotion, that we will find joy; that it is in our weaknesses that we will receive your Spirit and be made strong; that it is in giving up our delusions of control and trusting in you that we will find the peace and security which we so desper-ately seek. Our hope is in you, O Lord, in hearing the voice of our Good Shepherd and in following where you lead. Grant us the wisdom and the courage to listen and obey. AMEN!
• SINGING OUR FAITH UMH # 327 v 1 “Crown Him with Many Crowns” Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne. Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, And hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity.
SHARING OF PRAYER AND PRAISE
PREPARING TO PRAY UMH # 381 v 1 “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us” Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need thy tender care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use thy folds prepare. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast bought us, thine we are. Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, Thou hast bought us, thine we are.
PRAYERS OF GOD’S PEOPLE - THE LORD’S PRAYER UMH # 895 (You are invited to the altar rail to pray)
BRINGING OUR GIFTS AND OFFERINGS TO THE LORD CONSECRATION OF RADICAL GENEROSITY RESPONSES 8:30 “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” 11:00 “10,000 Reasons” Chancel Choir
• SONG OF THANKSGIVING UMH # 140 chorus “Great Is Thy Faiithfulness” 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!

Holiday Helping Hands You can bless a local family in need this Christmas by buying a child a special Christmas
gift. Cards with the children’s Wishes and Needs are now available on the tree in the
MMR. Requests come in a wide range of prices and are typical of what other kids of similar
ages desire. If you don't see a card in your price range, please consider partnering with
someone to buy the gift(s). Don't like to shop? Monetary donations are also wel-
come. Checks should be made out to CUMC with a note for HHH. Gifts (please do NOT
wrap) must be returned by December 10th. Contact Amy Frey if you would like to sponsor
siblings or know of someone in need. (724-689-7933 or [email protected])
2018 Intent to Give This past weekend, we asked those worshiping with us to complete their Intent to Give cards
for 2018. If you still need to turn in your Intent to Give, we hope that you have prayerfully
considered what you will give financially to the church in the name of Jesus. Please make
your giving estimates as soon as possible as your giving estimates will set our budget for
ministry next year. Intent to Give cards are available at the welcome centers. If you’d like to
complete your estimate of giving online, you can do so by visiting this website:
