Tri-City Sunday Gathering Liturgy - July 7, 2024
Pause in the middle of your week to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we shared in together as the body of Christ.
CALL TO WORSHIP
HOUSE OF GOD FOREVER
God is my shepherd. I won't be wanting
He makes me rest. In fields of green with quiet streams
Even though I walk through the valley of death and dying
I will not fear, because You are with me
Your shepherd's staff comforts me
You are my feast in the presence of enemies
Surely goodness will follow me in the house of God forever.
Leader: One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple.
Congregation: For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock.
Psalm 27:4-5

CALL TO CONFESSION
Leader: The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
This next song is a prayer of confession. It is an honest prayer from the perspective of those who cannot speak, who struggle to find the words, and for those who cannot sing because they feel hopeless. Pray and sing:
SING OVER ME
When I am lost inside my mind sing me the hope I cannot find.
When my despair has left me blind, sing me the tune I’ve left behind.
Will you sing over me, sing over me? Will you sing over me?
Sing of the goodness I cannot see. Will you sing over me?
When all the grief pours through my hands, I can’t feel anything but shame.
When I’ve forgotten who I am, sing out and give me back my name.
When I sink down beneath the fear, the weight is more than I can bear.

ASSURANCE
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
What a friend we have in Jesus. All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit. O, what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
What a friend we have in Jesus. All our sins and griefs to bear.

O what peace we often forfeit. O, what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
COMMITMENT
All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live.
I surrender all, I surrender all; all to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live.
I surrender all, I surrender all; all to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
BENEDICTION
