This weekly "digital liturgy" is designed to guide you through a complete service of worship. The more you participate in the various elements, the greater will be its impact. Communion is part of our service so have those items ready. The kids material can be accessed here:
This week's Vine School. 

If you click on the title of the first Vine School slide you can also access past Vine School material as well as the "Vine Camp" material that Kathie created.

Our liturgy has prayers, responses, and scriptures to be read aloud in addition to several video segments. Janice has chosen the music this week. Sing along! If the song is unfamiliar, feel free to just listen.

Read aloud the Call to Worship:

Praise the Lord!

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,

in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

Great are the works of the Lord, 

studied by all who delight in them.

Full of splendor and majesty is His work, 

and His righteousness endures forever. 

He has caused His wondrous works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful.

He provides food for those who fear Him;

He remembers His covenant forever.

He has shown His people the power of His works,

in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

The works of His hands are faithful and just; 

all His precepts are trustworthy;

they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

He sent redemption to His people; 

He has commanded His covenant forever.

Holy and awesome is his name!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

all those who practice it have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever!

—Psalm 111

Verse 1

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever will be

Chorus

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

Verse 2

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon, and stars In their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love

Chorus

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

Verse 3

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside

Chorus

Great is Thy faithfulness, great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

Have someone read this prayer:

Heavenly Father, Your faithfulness and love endure forever, 

yet our gratitude fades on a daily basis. 

For Your blessings that we see and yet fail to acknowledge . . .

Have mercy. 

For Your blessings that we fail to see and fail to acknowledge . . .

Have mercy.

Lord of goodness, please open our eyes to all that You do as we silently confess our sins to you now . . .

- take some time for silence -

Hear the Good News:

The Lord is faithful in all His words; 

and gracious in all His deeds. 

The Lord upholds all who are falling, 

and He raises up all who are bowed down.

As loved and forgiven children, let’s offer up our hearts to Him as we sing.

Read this together in preparation for hearing the Word:

Gracious God, as we turn to your Word for us,

our community is scattered, 

and it is easy for our hearts to be scattered.

May the Spirit of God rest upon us,

drawing Your people together,

and focusing our scattered hearts through Your Word.

Help us to be steadfast in our hearing, in our speaking,

in our believing, and in our living.

Have someone read the following scripture. When finished, pause, and then have someone read through it a second time:

And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it.

—I Thess. 5:14–24

"Three Weeks of Thanks Giving" by Pastor Chris De Haan

Read aloud:

Even as we are scattered all over the city, in communion we gather around the one bread and the one cup, knowing that we are all equally needy—and equally welcomed—around this table. We all come kneeling and thankful as we remember Jesus, who — while rejected, cast out, reviled, oppressed — went to the cross and finished His work, keeping His covenant and bringing rescue and redemption

Jesus gathered with His friends in that upper room, even as we gather together.

And the Lord Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

- eat the bread -

In the same way, He took the cup after supper and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this in remembrance of Me." 

For whenever we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

- drink the cup - 

Offer up a prayer of thanks for the cross.

Read aloud:

Thank You, Lord, for the gifts of bread and cup,

for the cross, for sustaining us in hope.

We pray for Your strength to prepare us now for Your service

as we offer to You lives of witness and worship in the world You have made. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Verse 1

When we call upon Your name
You will answer, You will save
And deliver us

In the darkness, in the storm
You are shining from the shore
To deliver us, Deliverer

Chorus

Hallelujah, what a Savior
Worthy is the Lamb, our Deliverer
Mighty fortress for the righteous
Saved to glorify, our Deliverer

Verse 2

Though the battle rages on
We are certain You are strong
To deliver us

By Your perfect sacrifice
We're made perfect in Your eyes
You deliver us, oh Deliverer

Chorus

Hallelujah, what a Savior
Worthy is the Lamb, our Deliverer
Mighty fortress for the righteous
Saved to glorify, our Deliverer
