SERMON “Remembering the Grace” Rev. Schmidt
† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
Excerpts from A Brief Statement of Faith In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
† THE PEACE
One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you.

THE OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give)
ANTHEM Let All the World in Every Corner Sing Ralph Vaughan Williams
Transcribed and edited for SATB choir and piano 4-hands by Craig Courtney
Let all the world in every corner sing, my God and King. The heavens are not too high, his praise may thither fly: The earth is not too low, his praises there may grow. Let all the world in every corner sing. My God and King. The church with Psalms must shout, no door can keep them out: But above all, the heart must bear the longest part. Let all the world in every corner sing, my God and King.
