Chiming of the Hour Prelude Come, Now is the Time to Worship Doerksen Recognition of Graduates Call to Worship Praise Him Youth Choir *Opening Prayer Zach LeBerth Worship through Visual Arts Jenna Graham “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.” -St. Francis of Assisi *Hymn of Praise 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord) Shelby Matheson, Piano-Joseph Griffith, Guitar
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.
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.
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.
Worship Your holy name, Lord, I’ll worship Your holy name

world without end. Amen. Amen.
