Call to Worship
“Open Our Eyes”
1 I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalms
121:1-2 (HCSB)
O worship the King, all glorious above,O gratefully sing
His wonderful love;Our Shield and Defender,
the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
“O Worship The King”
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,His chariots of wrath
the deep thunderclouds form,And dark is His path
on the wings of the storm.
“O Worship The King”
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
“O Worship The King”
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
“O Worship The King”
Offertory PrayerReceiving of Tithes and
Offerings
2 Corinthians 9:6

During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his 11 sons, and crossed the ford of Jabbok. He took them and brought them across the stream, along with all his possessions. Jacob was left
alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that He could not defeat him, He
struck Jacob’s hip as they wrestled and dislocated his hip
socket. Then He said to Jacob, “Let Me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob
said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me.” “What is your name?” the
man asked. “Jacob!” he replied. “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” He said. “It will be Israel because you
have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.” Then Jacob
asked Him, “Please tell me Your name.” But He answered,
“Why do you ask My name?” And He blessed him there. Jacob then named the
place Peniel, “For,” [he said,] “I have seen God face to face, and I have been delivered.” The sun shone on him as he passed by Penuel—limping on his hip. That is why, to this day, the Israelites
don’t eat the thigh muscle that is at the hip socket: because He struck Jacob’s hip
socket at the thigh muscle. Genesis 32:22-32 (HCSB)
