The Call To Worship ~ based on Revelation 15 & Psalm 9 ~
Leader: Great and marvellous are Your deeds, Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear
You, O Lord, and bring glory to Your name? For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship You!
Unison: We will give thanks to You, O Lord, with our whole
heart; we will tell of all Your wonderful deeds. We will be glad
and exult in You. We will sing praise to Your name, O Most
High.
Prayer Of Adoration
Songs Of Praise & Worship Ten Thousand Reasons
chorus Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name Sing like never before, O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me Let me be singing
When the evening comes
(repeat chorus)
You're rich in love And You're slow to anger
Your name is great And Your heart is kind For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing Ten thousand reasons For my heart to
find
(repeat chorus)
And on that day When my strength is failing
The end draws near And my time has come Still my soul will sing
Your praise unending Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
(repeat chorus)
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name Lord, I'll worship Your holy
name
Sing like never before, O my soul I'll worship Your holy
name

We fall down and lay our crowns At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of Your Mercy and love At the feet of Jesus
chorus And we cry holy, holy, holy And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
Is the Lamb
We fall down and lay our crowns At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love At the feet of Jesus
(repeat chorus)
Call To Repentance & Renewal
~ Isaiah 55:6-7 ~
Leader: The prophet Isaiah declared,
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on Him while He is
near. Let the
wicked forsake His way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him
turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to
our God, for He will freely pardon.
Prayer Of Confession Leader: Most holy and gracious Father, we
acknowledge and confess before You that our sinful natures are
prone to evil and slow to do good. You alone know how often we have
sinned in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, and in
forgetting Your love. We are ashamed and sorry of all the ways in
which we have displeased You.
~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~
Unison: Merciful Lord, teach us to hate our errors. Cleanse us
from our wander- ing ways, and forgive our sins through Jesus
Christ our Saviour. Grant us Your power that we might live in Your
light and walk in Your ways, according to the commandments of Jesus
Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen.
The Words Of The Gospel ~ Psalm 103:8, 12 ~
Leader: I declare this sure promise: The Lord is compassionate
and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love For as high as the
heaves are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear
Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our
transgressions from us.
Song Of Response How Deep
You were broken that I might be healed You were cast off that I
might draw near You were thirsty that I might come drink
Cried out in anguish that I might sing chorus
How deep is Your loveHow high and how wide is Your mercy
How deep is Your graceOur hearts overflow With praise to You
You knew darkness
That I might know light Wept great tears that mine might be
dried
Stripped of glory that I might be clothed Crushed by Your
Father
To call me Your own
The Prayers Of The People For The Church & City
Leader: Let us pray.
Unison: Our Father in Heaven, hallow-ed be your name. Your
Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we
also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and
forever. Amen.

Song Of Preparation
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Come, thou fount of evry blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy
grace Streams of mercy, never ceasing Call for songs of loudest
praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! Im fixed upon it Mount of Gods unchanging
love
Here I raise my Ebenezer Hither by Thy help Im come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandring from the fold of
God
He to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor Daily Im constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter Bind my wandring heart to Thee
Prone to wanderLord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart, O take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts
above
Todays Scripture Lesson: The Plague of Every Relationship:
The Fall (Part 2)
Genesis 3:1-12
Pastor John Ferguson
Songs For Communion O The Wonderful Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory
died
My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my
pride
See from his head, his hands, his feet Sorrow and love flow
mingled down Did ever such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose
so rich a crown
chorus O the wonderful cross O the wonderful cross Bids me come
and die
And find that I may truly live O the wonderful cross O the
wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near And bless Your name
Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far
too small
Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all
(repeat chorus)
We Hunger and Thirst
Exalted Son of glory humbly came down Wounded for the broken
Bore the sinners crown
Through the willing death You died You became our Bread of
Life
chorus Jesus, we hunger and thirst for You, Lord
As we remember Your sacrifice We see the wounds from Your
hands
And pierced side Extravagant love! Oh how great the price
Now our lives are Yours
The priceless blood of Jesus This gracious cup
A life spring overflowing Poured out for us
He has conquered every sin For the ones who trust in Him
(repeat chorus)
bridge The cup we drink, the bread we eat
Reminds us You are all we need And makes us long for Your
wedding
feast
(repeat chorus)
All Who Are Thirsty
All who are thirsty All who are weak
Come to the fountain Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow Be washed away
In the waves of his mercy As deep cries out to deep we sing
Come Lord Jesus come (repeat 3x)
Holy Spirit come (repeat 3x)
As deep cries out to deep (repeat 2x)
Our Confession Of Faith
~ Philippians 2:5-11 ~
Leader: Let us confess our faith together
Unison: We believe in our hearts and confess with our lips that
Christ Jesus, being in very nature God did not consider equality
with God something to be grasped but made Himself nothing, taking
the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

God Receives Our Offerings
God Gives Us His Words
Of Eternal Life
God Feeds Us His Covenant Meal
God Calls Us To Worship
God Graciously Renews Us In
Christ
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and
became obedient to death - even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the
name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father. Amen.
The Benediction
~ Hebrews 13:20-21 ~
Leader: Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead
our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of
the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may
do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight,
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.
Unison: Amen!

Potluck Sunday: NEXT WEEK On the first Sunday of every month, we
celebrate a meal together after the service. These are intentional
times of meeting new friends and catching up with old friends. We
want to be intentional in seeking to build relationships and our
monthly potluck luncheons are a perfect opportunity to do so.
Please bring food for yourself / your family plus extra to share
with our guests. Rob Taylor will be coming to give us an update
during the potluck on his work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. He
is one of the missionaries that New City Church supports.
Summer Preaching Series: Relationships. They are the stuff of
life. With them we can prosper. Without them, we flounder. But the
big question is, How do we navigate relationships in our modern
world where there seems to be so much confusion about
relationships? Join us this summer as we take a look at
relationships through the lens of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We'll
answer questions like What are relationships for? Why do
relationships get wrecked? Is marriage really a smart choice in our
modern world? How are we to understand our sexuality? Is there any
hope for my sense of relational brokenness? How do I view my
singleness? Isn't divorce the easy way out? Is there a wise way to
think about family?
Save The Date: NCC Annual Church Retreat Our annual retreat will
be at Camp Harmattan again. Please make plans to join us!

want fellowship,
to all who are broken and long for healing, to all who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
and to whosoever would come, New City Church opens wide her
doors
