Blended Worship
Our worship style is a blended mix of traditional with some contemporary music mixed in with a lot of bluegrass and county influence. If you play an instrument and wish to join in, then come to our 8:30 musician’s practice on Sunday Morning. We also have a choir that that you are welcome to join. They practice on Wednesday at 8:00 PM following our 7:00 PM prayer service
We have intercessory prayer where you can bring your prayer request or your friends needs before the congregation. We always close with the Lord’s prayer.
Expect to hear a lot of Scripture Readings read by one of our Ruling Elders during the service.
We serve communion on the first Sunday of each month. All confessing Christians of any denomination in good standing are invited to the table.
Most importantly, expect to be greeted by some of the most loving people you have ever met.

SERVICE OF WORSHIP JULY 23, 2023
“Knowing Christ and Making Him Known”
Welcome! This morning we use the mirror of God’s Word to reveal the sinfulness of our own hearts and the majestic, holiness of God.
The passage for our consideration today is James 1:13-25, which contains our memory verse for today, James 1:22 (NKJV) “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
Welcome and Announcements
Prelude Ms. Caroline Cleaveland
WE WORSHIP GOD AS DOERS OF HIS WORD
Call to Worship From: The Book of Common Prayer (excerpt from the Great Litany) Led by Ruling Elder Bill Everett
Remember not, Lord Christ, our offenses, nor the offenses of our forefathers; neither reward us according to our sins. Spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and by thy mercy preserve us forever.
Spare us, good Lord.
From all evil and wickedness; from sin; from the crafts and assaults of the devil; and from everlasting damnation,
Good Lord, deliver us.
From all blindness of heart; from pride, vainglory, and hypocrisy; from envy, hatred, and malice; and from all want of charity,
Good Lord, deliver us.
From all inordinate and sinful affections; and from all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil,
Good Lord, deliver us.
From all false doctrine, heresy, and schism; from hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word and commandment,
Good Lord, deliver us.

The Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen”
WE LISTEN TO GOD AS DOERS OF HIS WORD
Memory Verse for today James 1:22 (NKJV)
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
Memory Verse for July 30 Mark 10:45(NKJ)
“Even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Scripture Reading: James 1:13-15
“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.”
Hymn of Praise: # 564 “Just a Closer Walk with Thee “
