Call to Worship
Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Welcome & Announcements
*Hymn “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” No. 464
*Invocation
Almighty and everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being, who has created us for yourself, so that our hearts are restless, till they find rest in you: grant us purity of heart and strength so that no selfish passion may hinder us from knowing your will, and no weakness from doing it. In your light may we see life clearly, and in your service find perfect freedom; for your mercy's sake. Amen.

Disaster Relief Alert
The floods along the Mississippi River have caused great damage withing the areas served by American Baptist Churches. Currently, four DR teams from Illinois are engaged in clean-up work in Southern Illinois and Northwestern Kentucky. Mac Shotwell, of the Great Rivers DR, sent out an email asking other DR regions to be on stand-by because, “We may be out of man power soon”. They are presently cleaning houses in Olive Branch, Illinois and are working with Methodist and Southern Baptist in that area. Our need right now is to be ready to go and help clean flood damaged homes if and when we receive the call to go. Please give this your prayerful consideration.
