Order of Worship

Welcome & Life in the Body

Call to Worship: Psalm 71:23 My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed.

Prayer of Praise

Song: By Faith

Song: And Can It Be

The Lord’s Table: We invite all who have put their faith in Jesus for salvation to partake of the elements in remembrance and thanksgiving.

• You do not need to be a member of the Grace Bible Church family to participate; you need only to be a member of God’s family.

• If you have not trusted in Jesus for righteousness, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life, we urge you to consider the truth of John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Prayer of Confession

Assurance of Pardon: Colossians 1:14 In Christ we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Song: Here Is Love

Song: There Is a Fountain

Song: Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Scripture Reading: Genesis 46:1-7

Affirmation of Faith: Lamentations 3:19-26  [Congregation will read the text in bold.]

Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.

But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
