Invocation
Hymn
This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
Responsive Reading - Psalm 8
Leader - O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
Congregation - Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
Leader - When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established;
Congregation - what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Leader - Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.
Congregation - You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet,
Leader - all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
Congregation - May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works--
Leader - the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
Congregation O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Songs of Praise
How Majestic
Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is
Your Name in all the earth! (Repeat)
Oh Lord, we praise Your Name.
Oh Lord, we magnify Your Name,
Prince of Peace, Mighty God,
Oh Lord, God Almighty.
- Michael W. Smith
He's Everything to Me
In the stars, His handiwork I see.
On the wind, He speaks with majesty.
Though He ruleth over land and sea,
What is that to me?
I will celebrate nativity,
For it has a place in history.
Though He came to set His people free,
What is that to me?
'Til by faith I met Him face to face
And I felt the wonder of His grace
Then I knew that He was more
Than just a God who didn't care
That lived away out there
And now He walks beside me day by day
Ever watching o'er me lest I stray
Helping me to find that narrow way
He's ev'rything to me
- Ralph Carmichael

Gospel Reading and Sermon
Matthew 28:16-20, New International Version (NIV)
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
