GATHERING
CALL TO WORSHIP
Today is the anniversary of Aldersgate Day,
when John Wesley felt the assurance of his sins forgiven,
Today is the day the Lord has made,
in which we can find assurance of God’s grace for us!
Today is the day we remember the Ascension,
when Jesus took authority as Ruler of the Cosmos,
Today is the day of the Lord, Christ is King
and all the rulers of the world are rightly under his reign.
Today, Jesus is Lord of our hearts,
our lives, and the whole creation!
Amen! Jesus is Lord!
HYMN “Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise” #312
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God,
Your blessed Son, our Savior Jesus Christ,
ascended far above all heavens,
That he might fill all things,
Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise,
He abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the world;
Through the same your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING
Almighty God, in a time of great need
You raised up your servants John and Charles Wesley,
And by your Spirit inspired them to kindle a flame of sacred love
Which leaped and ran, an inextinguishable blaze.
Grant that all those whose hearts have been warmed at these altar fires,
Being continually refreshed by your grace, may be so devoted
To the increase of scriptural holiness throughout the land
That in this our time of great need,
Your will may fully and effectively be done on earth as it is in heaven;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
SPECIAL MUSIC “Do You Know My Jesus?” Jon Sentz, Piano & Vocals
