FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF PENN YAN
224 Main Street September 25, 2011
Penn Yan, New York 10:00 AM
We, as God's people, will use our gifts and talents to seek out and bring people to Christ
by maturing in our faith, by deepening our fellowship
and by caring for people for the honor and glory of God.

*Call To Worship
Pastor: May all who enter here experience peace!
People: May all who enter here find rest!

People: May all who enter here know that God dwells among us!
All: Praise Be To God!
*Hymn “Within Your Shelter, Loving God” No. 212
Responsive Reading Psalm 40 OT Pg. 619
*Unison Prayer
God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting Lordship as a pathway to peace. Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to your will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next. Amen.
Something For the Child In All of Us
Anthem “Thanks Be To God”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
