Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
…Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
Edward Perronet
All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all!
O seed of Israel’s chosen race
Now ransomed from the fall,
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all!
Let every tongue and every tribe
Responsive to his call,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all!
Oh, that with all the sacred throng
We at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all.
Responsive Reading
John 1
Leader: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
People: He was with God in the beginning.
Leader: Through him all things were made;
People: without him nothing was made that has been made.
Leader: In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
People: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Leader: The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
People: He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,
Leader: the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
People: Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
Leader: children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will,
People: but born of God.
Leader: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,
People: the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Hymn
Down at the Cross
E. A. Hoffman
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!
Glory to his name,
Glory to his name;
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where he took me in;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to his name! [Refrain]
Scripture Reading
Genesis 45:1-5
Carmetta Williams
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!” So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?” But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

People of the Covenant
Lee Jang-Hee
Even though I am very weak
God is perfect, God is complete
And though time and again I may fall
He will raise me up again
We’re the people of His Covenant
He is forever with us
Our God works in our lives through His Spirit
In every step we take
No one can ever block the Word of Life
No one can cast aside the Word of God
The gospel of our Lord will be fulfilled
In the name of Jesus Christ
The gospel will be proclaimed
We’re the people of His Covenant
Proclaimed to the very ends of the earth
In every step we take
Prayer · Lord’s Prayer
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.
And lead us not into temptation;
…but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
…the power and the glory,
…forever and ever.
Amen.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price
Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.
And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night,
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!
We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail. Chorus
Benediction
