Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing (Nettleton)
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of ev’ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I’m come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand’ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Blessed Be Your Name
Verse 1
Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Verse 2
Blessed be Your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name
Pre-Chorus
Ev’ry blessing You pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say
Chorus
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Verse 3
Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be Your name
Verse 4
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Pre-Chorus
Ev’ry blessing You pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say
Chorus
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Bridge
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name
Response (Slides) Mitch
Leader: As the Lord passed by, the voice came to Elijah and asked him “What are you doing here?”
Response: Elijah said, “I have been zealous for you and now I am alone.”
Leader: The Lord instructed Elijah to wait. As he waited, there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces.
Response: The Lord was not in the wind.
Leader: As Elijah continued to wait, there was an earthquake.
Response: The Lord was not in the earthquake
Leader: Still, Elijah waited, even as a fire threatened.
Response: The Lord was not in the fire.
Leader: And then there was silence.
Response: God was in the silence. Elijah went out to wait for the Lord.
Leader: There, in the midst of the sheer silence, the voice came to Elijah and asked, “What are you doing here Elijah?”
Response: Elijah said, “I have been zealous for you and now I am alone and my life is threatened.”
Leader: And God was there.
Response: And God is here.
Leader: Join us in the prayer of Jesus,
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.
Forgive us our trespasses, while we forgive those who trespass against us.
And, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

Passage (Slides) Renee
At that place Elijah came to a cave and spent the night there. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Elijah answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.”
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Elijah answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.”
Then the Lord said to Elijah, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram. 16 Also you shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel, and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place.
Whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill, and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill. Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
1 Kings 19:9-18

Closing Benediction (Slides) Mitch
We now leave this building to continue on the path that has been set before us. The path given by our God who is love, the path designed for us, those who are loved.
We step onto this path to walk amongst a world who is also loved and to whom our lives are to be God’s proclamation of love. In others we are able to catch a glimpse of God’s enthusiasm for all of his created.
We leave to love, we leave to hope, we leave to hold to the faith given by the God who has not, and will not, leave us.
We go in God’s peace.
