Welcome, Prayers, Special Music
Welcome – Shelby Hall
Prayers of the People – Dar Mikula
Special Music – “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” by Charles Wesley, performed by Larry Reimer, Mark Burlingame, and Tané Dekrey.
1. Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, on earth be found; fix in us a humble dwelling; all your faithful mercies crown! Jesus you are all compassion, pure, unbounded love impart; visit us with your salvation; enter every trembling heart.
2. Breathe, O breathe your loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in you inherit; let us find your promised rest. You we would be always blessing, love you as your angels love, pray and praise for your unfailing, wounded arms stretched out above.
3. Finish, then, your new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see your great salvation perfectly restored in thee; changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
