Liturgy for wherever you are

Genesis 22:1-14

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ.

All Creatures of Our God and King

Brent Milligan | David Crowder | St. Francis of Assisi | William Henry Draper

All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise Him alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in Heav'n along
O praise Him alleluia
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening find a voice
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him alleluia
Praise praise the Father praise the Son
And praise the Spirit three in One
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Be Thou My Vision

Eleanor Henrietta Hull | Mary Elizabeth Byrne

Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true child
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven my treasure Thou art

High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys O bright heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision O ruler of all

Christ Be All Around Me

David Leonard | Jack Mooring | Leeland Mooring | Leslie Jordan

As I rise
Strength of God go before lift me up
As I wake

As I wait

As I hear
Voice of God lead me on be my guide
Be my guide

Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me
Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me yeah

As I go
Hand of God my defense by my side
As I rest
Breath of God fall upon bring me peace
Bring me peace

Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah
Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah

Your life Your death Your blood was shed
For ev'ry moment ev'ry moment

Praise God above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Saskia and Jason E. welcomed us, and they invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Saskia called us into worship. Chip led us in communal prayer. Jeannette read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching. Lindsay led us in communion. Nancy S. invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Paul provided our offertory and doxology. The FBCP Choir and Kids Choir offered us our benediction today. Our other musicians this morning were Leslie, John Jay, Dave, Cindie, Nat, Rick and Chris B. Chris T. and Jessica H. reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Kenny worked his technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
