†hymn HYMN TO JOY

Christian Hearts, in Love UnitedChristian hearts, in love united, seek alone in Jesus rest; has He not your love excited? Then let love inspire each breast. Members on our Head depending, lights reflecting Him, our Sun, Christians, His commands attending, we in Him, our Lord, are one.Come, then, come, O flock of Jesus, covenant with Him anew; unto Him who conquered for us, pledge we love and service true; and should our love's union holy firmly linked no more remain wait ye at His footstool lowly, till He draw it close again.Grant, Lord, that with Thy direction, "Love each other," we comply, aiming with unfeigned affection Thy love to exemplify; let our mutual love be glowing, so that all will plainly see that we, as on one stem growing, living branches are in Thee.O that such may be our union as Thine with the Father is, and not one of our communion e'er forsake the path of bliss; may our light shine forth with brightness, from Thy light reflected, shine; thus the world will bear us witness, that we, Lord, are truly Thine.

†sending forth Dr. Robert E. LongWe will honor God by the way we treat each other.We will focus on the Way; Christ is our example for how to love.We are committed to the mission: Sharing God’s love and bringing hope to the world!

Welcome to Our Newest Members Joining in January: Downtown: LeAnn High, Debby McQueen, Rhett and Callie Mason, Billy Jayne Granger, Deborah Sue Eddie, Matt Miller and Emily Chancellor, Bobby and Susanne Huffman, Jordan and Aubree McGee, Jon and Amy Fisher, Rebecca Terrel, Shannon PanachEdmond: Kate Arnold and Caroline Flint, Susan Griffin

Throughout history, God has used music to speak about love, justice, beauty, and courage. Sometimes the words of a song inspired people to stand up for what was right. Sometimes it was the beauty of the music itself that brought joy. In scripture, music has been used to praise God, calm royalty, celebrate victory, and rejoice in times of deliverance. Music not only changes the world, but has the power to change our lives as well.

Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens Adore HimPraise the Lord! ye heavens, adore Him; praise Him, angels in the height; sun and moon, rejoice before Him; praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise the Lord! for He hath spoken; worlds His mighty voice obeyed; law which shall never be broken for their guidance hath He made.Praise the Lord! for He is glorious; never shall His promise fail; God hath made His saints victorious; sin and death shall not prevail. Praise the God of our salvation! Hosts on high, His power proclaim; heaven and earth and all creation laud and magnify His name.Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord, we offer unto Thee; young and old, Thy praise expressing, in glad homage bend the knee. All the saints in heaven adore Thee. We would bow before Thy throne; as thine angels serve before Thee, so on earth Thy will be done.

†hymn 572 PASS IT ON

Pass It OnIt only takes a spark to get a fire going, and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing. That's how it is with God's love once you've experienced it; you spread His love to everyone; you want to pass it on.What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding; the birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming. That's how it is with God's love once you've experienced it; you want to sing, it's fresh like spring, you want to pass it on.I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I've found; you can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound. I'll shout it from the mountain top; I want my world to know; the Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass it on.

Take a look at yourself and you can look at others diff'rently by puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee.Ev'ry time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble, I wanna tremble, when I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple. For the buyer and the sellers were no different fellas than what I profess to be, and it causes me pain to know I'm not the person I should be.

†doxology OLD 100TH

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

†the ePistle Rev. David PoteetBeloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because he first loved us. If any one says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also. (1 John 4:7 - 12, 18 - 21)This is the Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Love is but a song to sing and fear's the way we die. You can make the mountains ring or make the angels cry. Know the dove is on the wing, and you need not know why.Come on people now, smile on your brother. Let's get together and try to love one another, right now.Some will come and some will go and we shall surely pass. When the one who left us here returns for us at last, we are but a moment's sunlight fading on the grass.Come on people now, smile on your brother. Let's get together and try to love one another, right now.If you hear the song I sing, you must understand. You hold the key to love and fear, all in your trembling hand. One key unlocks them both you know and it's at your command.Come on people now, smile on your brother. Let's get together and try to love one another, right now.Come on people now, smile on your brother. Let's get together and try to love one another, right now. Right now! Right now!
