OPENING HYMN So Glad I’m Here – 504
So glad I’m here in Jesus’ name;
So glad I’m here in Jesus’ name!
I don’t know what you’ve come to do.
I’ve come to praise his name,
I’ve come to praise his name!

Pray while I’m here in Jesus’ name;
Pray while I’m here in Jesus’ name!
I don’t know what you’ve come to do.
I’ve come to praise his name,
I’ve come to praise his name!

Sing while I’m here in Jesus’ name;
Sing while I’m here in Jesus’ name!
I don’t know what you’ve come to do.
I’ve come to praise his name,
I’ve come to praise his name!

ANTHEM Mercy Now – Elizabeth Murray

READING Psalm 16
O God, keep me safe—you are my refuge!
I said to YHWH, “You are my God; there is nothing good for me apart from you.”
The holy people of my land are wonderful! My greatest pleasure is to be with them.
But those who rush after other gods will bring many troubles upon themselves.
I will not take part in their sacrifices; I won’t even speak the names of their gods.
You, YHWH, are all that I have, you are my food and drink. My life is safe in your hands.
Within the boundaries you set for me there are nothing but pleasant places! What a delightful inheritance I have!
I praise YHWH, who guides me; even at night my heart teaches me.
I’m always aware of your presence; you are right by my side, and nothing can shake me.
My heart is happy and my tongue sings for joy; I feel completely safe with you,
because you won’t abandon me to the Grave; you won’t let your loved one see decay.
You show me the path to Life; your presence fills me with joy, and by your side I find enduring pleasure.

May we be blessed by the reading of this Word. Amen

MESSAGE – Rev Sonya Gravlee, Beloved Community Congregational Care Pastor

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Let us pray together! We share our prayers of joy and thanksgiving; prayers of concern or sorrow; and prayers for the world and its people.

We end each prayer by saying “This is my prayer” and then together we will affirm that “This is our prayer.” If you are online, you may also write a prayer in the chat section – or send it before or after worship here.
