OPENING HYMN Walking Up the King’s Highway – 402
Refrain
It’s a highway to heaven.
None can walk up there,
But the pure in heart.
It’s a highway to heaven.
I am walking up the king’s highway.

My way gets brighter;
My load gets lighter,
Walking up the King’s highway.
There’s joy in knowing
With Him I’m going,
Walking up the King’s highway.
Refrain

Don’t have to worry,
don’t have to hurry,
Walking up the King’s highway.
Christ walks beside me,
angels to guide me,
Walking up the King’s highway.
Refrain

If you’re not walking,
Start while I’m talking.
Walking up the King’s highway.
There’ll be a blessing
you’ll be possessing,
Walking up the King’s highway.
Refrain

ANTHEM OF PRAISE 

READINGS Psalm 36:5-10
Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains; your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. O continue your steadfast love to those who know you and your salvation to the upright of heart!
May we be blessed by this reading of the Word. Amen

MESSAGE Rev. Sally Harris, Beloved Community Teaching Pastor

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 unmute yourself at any time or write a prayer in the chat section.
