Gracious God
Gracious God, we’ve come to gather
As your children at your knee
Gracious God, we’ve come to gather
Singing joyfully to Thee
Gracious God, we’ve come to worship you
For all the love you’ve poured on us

Feel the hunger in our hearts
See the joy upon our faces

Singing joyfully to Thee
Gracious God, we’ve come to worship you
For all the love you’ve poured on us
Gracious God, we’ve come to worship you
For your unending, boundless love
Hear the passion in our voices
Feel the hunger in our hearts
See the joy upon our faces

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

A Greater Grace
With a friendly neighborhood love, You look over me
With a still and silent voice, You speak to me
With a warm forgiving smile, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
Humbled I surrender my pride
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
I’m awash in heaven’s tide
With a faithful guardian love, You watch over me
With a strong and guiding hand, You provide for me
With a gentle forgiving heart, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me
I stand humbled; I stand humbled
Humbled in Your presence (Lord)
As I draw near to You
You draw nearer to me
The more I surrender
The more I’m free
With a friendly neighborhood love, You look over me
With a still and silent voice, You speak to me
With a warm forgiving smile, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
Humbled I surrender my pride
You give a greater grace
Then I ever could imagine
I’m awash in heaven’s tide
With a faithful guardian love, You watch over me
With a strong and guiding hand, You provide for me
With a gentle forgiving heart, Lord, You adore me
With a simple childlike trust, I draw You nearer to me
I stand humbled; I stand humbled
Humbled in Your presence (Lord)
As I draw near to You
You draw nearer to me
The more I surrender
The more I’m free

We Are The Body Of Christ
We lift up our voices as one
We carry the banner of peace
We hold ourselves accountable
We are the body of Christ
We reach out to those in darkness
We see through the clouds of dismay
We cry for the lost and lonely
We are the body of Christ
In community our hands are building
In community we share the weight
In community our eyes see less fortunate
Together we're the body of Christ
We love as there's no tomorrow
We care for the one's left behind
We pray for a heart that surrenders
We are the body of Christ

Readings
Communion
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” (Matthew 26:26-29 ESV)
Blessing
May the Lord bless us and keep us;
May he make His face shine upon us, and be gracious to us,
May he lift up His countenance upon us and give us peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers. 2 For there were those who said, “With our sons and our daughters, we are many. So let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive.” 3 There were also those who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine.” 4 And there were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards. 5 Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children are as their children. Yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards.”
6 I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. 7 I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, “You are exacting interest, each from his brother.” And I held a great assembly against them 8 and said to them, “We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brothers who have been sold to the nations, but you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say. 9 So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies? 10 Moreover, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us abandon this exacting of interest. 11 Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the percentage of money, grain, wine, and oil that you have been exacting from them.” 12 Then they said, “We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say.” And I called the priests and made them swear to do as they had promised. 13 I also shook out the fold[a] of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not keep this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised. (Nehemiah 5:1-13 ESV)
