Chimes of the Hour Welcome/Announcements Introit Call to Worship Pastor: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God all my life long. Congregation: We trust in the Lord, not in princes, in mere human beings, in whom there is no help. When their breath departs, they return to the dust; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Pastor: Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. Congregation: The Lord is faithful forever. He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Pastor: The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. Congregation: The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. Pastor: The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord!

Sermon: A Widow’s Generosity Affirmation of Faith I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
