COUNTDOWN & PRELUDE “Confidence”
WELCOME & GREETING Rev. Fred Baum
*OPENING HYMN “Christ for the World We Sing” No. 568
*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 33:1, 3,
Leader: Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to
praise him.
People: Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
Leader: The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the
peoples.
People: But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his
heart through all generations. Leader: We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
People: In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your
unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
*CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostle’s Creed, Ecumenical Version
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe 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, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day
he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God
the Father, and will come to judge the living 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 the life
everlasting. Amen.
NEW TESTAMENT LESSON Ephesians 2:4-10 4
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5
made us alive with
Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been
saved. 6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, 7
in order that in the coming ages he might show the
incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8
For it
is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is
the gift of God— 9
not by works, so that no one can boast. 10
For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.

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

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.

OFFERING “Largo” (Stanley Saxton) Mary Bellah “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way,

*DOXOLOGY “Christ Is the World’s Light” (4) No. 188
*PRAYER OF DEDICATION Rev. Fred Baum
OLD TESTAMENT LESSON Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7, 11 1This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the
surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other
people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
4 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile
from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat
what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and
give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters.
Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the
city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it
prospers, you too will prosper.”
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Leader: This is the word of God for the people of God.
People: Thanks be to God!

“Why? Making Sense of God’s Will”, A Study by Adam Hamilton
Have you ever wondered:
Where is God when the innocent suffer?
Where is God when my prayers go unanswered?
Why is God’s will so hard to understand?
Join us for a 4-week study of the Adam Hamilton book “Why? Making Sense of God’s Will”.
Hamilton is senior pastor of The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas.
A master at explaining difficult questions of faith in a down-to-earth fashion, he is the author of
numerous books.
Class will begin Wednesday, Jan 23 and run through Feb 13. We will meet in the Eds
Building at 10 a.m. for about 90 minutes. A typical class session will begin and end with
prayer, and will include Biblical Foundation, group discussion and activity, and a short DVD
presentation. Each participant will be asked to purchase the book at a cost of $10.
Please sign up for the class as soon as possible but no later than Jan 14 so we can order
books and get them to you prior to our first session. Call Gail Parson or the church office to sign up
for the class.
Further class options for the Spring. More information to follow Starting February 27 to March 20 Wednesday morning 10:00 AM in Ed’s Building The Life and Teachings of Jesus – Comparing the Gospels
An exploration of the Books of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four books have
long served as the foundation of the Christian religion. While much is known about their origins,
much is still a mystery. In four sessions, and with the help of our favorite Bibles, we will discuss
some of the following questions:
a) when were they written,
b) why were they written,
c) who wrote them,
d) how are the similar, and
e) how are they different?
