Come, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Come, all who feel the weary spots in your souls and I will send my love.
Come, sisters and brothers and heed the call to be in covenant community;
in relationship and commitment to God and to one another.
Come, let us worship.
AMEN.
OPENING HYMN: “O Jesus I Have Promised” (UMH 396) Played by Marilyn Lee
O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be though forever near me,
my Master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.

CLOSING HYMN: “Here I Am Lord” (UMH 593) Played by Marilyn Lee
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them
Whom shall I send
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.
