In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,

the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face

of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the

waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was

light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated

the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the

darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was

morning, the first day.

The Lord’s Prayer #895Our 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, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Scripture Lesson Genesis 1: 1-5

1 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 2 the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

Invitation to Ministry and Blessing Pastor Matthew Johnson, Associate Pastor BUMC

(1) The voice of God is calling A summons unto all;As once they heard in Zion, So now we hear the call.“Whom shall I send to succor My people in their need?Whom shall I send to loosen The bonds of shame and greed?

(2) “I hear my people crying In cot and mine and slum;No field or mart is silent, No city street is dumb.I see my people falling In darkness and despair.Whom shall I send to shatter The fetters which they bear?”

(3) We heed, O God, thy summons, And answer: “Here are we!Send us upon thine errand, Let us thy servants be.Our strength is dust and ashes, Our years a passing hour;But thou canst use our weakness To magnify thy power.

(4) “From ease and plenty save us; From pride of place absolve;Purge us of low desire; Lift us to high resolve;Take us, and make us holy; Teach us thy will and way.Speak, and, behold! We answer; Command, and we obey!”
