Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home!

Under the shadow of Thy throne, Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou are God, To endless years the same.

THE DECALOGUE: The Reverend Willie Williams and Congregation St. James AMEC, Welaka & Union Bethel, Crescent City

Leader: God spoke all these words saying: I am God, your God who brought you out of a life of slavery. No other gods, only

ME. No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don’t bow

down to them and don’t serve them because I am God, your God, and I’m a most jealous God, punishing the children for any

sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I’m

unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments. No using the name of God in curses or silly

banter; God won’t put up with the irreverent use of God’s name. Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Honor your father

and mother so that you’ll live a longtime in the land that God is giving you. No murder. No adultery. No stealing. No lies

about your neighbor. Don’t set you heart on anything that belongs to your neighbor.

THE CONGREGATION:

Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law… Nearer my God to Thee! Nearer to Thee. Even

though it be a cross that raiseth me. Still all my song shall be Nearer my God to Thee. Nearer my God to Thee!

Nearer to Thee

Leader: Hear what Christ our Savior saith, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy

mind. This is the first and great commandment and the second is like unto it: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets.

* THE GLORIA PATRI Choir & Congregation “GLORY BE TO THE FATHER”

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

Saint Paul AMEC, St. Augustine, FL

Leader: As we come to the Lord’s table, let us come with a spirit of humility and penitence. People: Compassionate God, have mercy on us as we pray. Leader: Let us examine ourselves: our thoughts, our actions, our motives, and our attitudes toward others. People: O Holy God, have mercy and forgive us our shortcomings. Leader: Help us to remember our responsibility to our families and our neighbors, our stewardship to you, and the

work you have given our hands. People: O Living God, we stand in need or your grace, strength, and mercy. Leader: As we eat the bread, which represents your body, which is the True and Living Bread, open our eyes to

recognize the intimacy that you yearn to share with us. People: O loving God, teach us to love you above all else. Leader: As we drink the cup, which represents Christ’s blood shed for us, we thank you for the new covenant, “Love

ye one another:, which is written on our hearts. Let us rejoice because our names are written in heaven. People: Tender Father and Mother, may your great sacrifice of redeeming love renew us for loving service

and sacrifice for others.

Leader: May this Lord’s Super energize every area of our lives and enable us to transcend our circumstances, our inadequacies, and our enemies.

People: God who sees us, touch and empower us so that our lives will be renewed. Leader: We praise you, O God, who made us your own people through the death and resurrection of your Son, and

our Lord. All: Abide in us, Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

“HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION” #433 AMECH How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!

What more can He say than to you He hath said, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

In every condition, in sickness, in health; In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth; At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, “As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.”

Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid; I’ll strengthen thee and help thee, And cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!”

The third day He arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*THE DECLARATION OF PARDON The Reverend Larry Gilyard New Bethel AMEC, Interlachen, FL

Therefore, we praise You, joining our voice wIth angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of Your name.

Minister & People: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

* THE CELEBRATION CONSECRATION The Reverend Mark L. Griffin Wayman Temple AMEC, Jacksonville, FL

All glory, power and honor to you, Almighty God, Holy Father, Creator of heaven and earth, Who did make us in his own image. And when we fell into sin, You of Your tender mercy did give Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ, to take our nature upon Him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption Who made there, by His own obligation of Himself once offered, a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world: And instituted and commanded us to continue this perpetual memorial of His precious death until His coming again.

For in the night in which He was betrayed, Jesus took bread; and when He had given thanks to You, He broke it, and gave it to his disciplines, and said, “Take, eat: This is my body which is given to you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also, after supper, He took the cup; and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them and said, “Drink this, all of you; for this is My blood of the New Covenant, which is poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it in remembrance of Me.”

Therefore, with this bread and cup we remember the life our Lord offered for us. And believing the witness of His resurrection, we await His coming in power to share with us the great and promised feast.

Gracious God, You are holy indeed, the fountain of all holiness. Bless and sanctify these gifts with Your Holy Spirit and bless us to Your service that we may faithfully receive in unity and peace the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

* THE LORD’S PRAYER

* THE PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS The Reverend Malinda Samuel Mt. Olive AMEC, Williston, FL

O merciful Lord, we do not come to Your holy table trusting in our own grace and mercy, but in the greatness of Your mercy. We are not worthy enough to gather up the crumbs under Your table. You are the Lord and Your love has met and always will meet every human need. Grant us humble access to your love in the sacramental feast of the body and blood of Jesus Christ and wash away our sinful pride, so that, in mercy we may be drawn near to You and to Him, who with the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and forever. Amen

* THE BIDDING

You that truly and earnestly repent of your sins and are in love and charity with your neighbors, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God, and walking hereafter in His holy ways; Draw near with faith to receive the holy Sacrament, and make your humble confession to Almighty God, in the presence of His Church, devoutly kneeling.

* THE ELEMENTS SHARED

* THE PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING: God of grace, we give You praise and thanks for the Holy Communion of the body and blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the pledge of our redemption, and we pray that it may bring us forgiveness of our sins, strength in our weakness, and everlasting salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

THE READING FROM THE HOLY WORD:

First Lesson: II Timothy 1:7 (The Message) Delegate-P. R. Cousin, AMEC, Jacksonville, FL

1 I, Paul, am on special assignment for Christ, carrying out God's plan laid out in the Message of Life by Jesus.

2 I write this to you, Timothy, the son I love so much. All the best from our God and Christ be yours! 3 Every time I say your name in prayer - which is practically all the time - I thank God for you, the God I

worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors. 4 I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful good-bye, and I look forward to a joy-packed

reunion. 5 That precious memory triggers another: your honest faith - and what a rich faith it is, handed down from

your grandmother Lois to your mother Eunice, and now to you! 6 And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed - keep that ablaze! 7 God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.

Gospel Lesson: Luke 24:45 - 49 (The Message) Delegate- Pleasant Grove AMEC, Georgetown, FL

47 and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations - starting from here, from Jerusalem!

48 You're the first to hear and see it. You're the witnesses. 49 What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so

stay here in the city until he arrives, until you're equipped with power from on high."
