Our faith transforms us!
Our participation in Christian community transforms us.
But make no mistake, it is by God’s grace that this transformation takes place.
Come, let us embrace the grace.
Come, let us open ourselves to transformation in worship and ministry!
OPENING HYMN: “Amazing Grace” (UMH 378, verses 1-4) played by Marilyn Lee
1: Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2: 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3: Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4: The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

Mo dou qai masu kina vakaoqo: “Tama i keimami mai omalagi,

THE LORD'S PRAYER: read in English by Rob Bickmore
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 bread, and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass 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.

CLOSING HYMN: “God of Grace and God of Glory” (UMH 577) played by Marilyn Lee
1: God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
crown your ancient church's story,
bring it's bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the facing or this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
2: Lo! the hosts of evil around us
scorn the Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
3: Cure your children's warring madness;
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss your kingdom's goal,
less we miss your kingdom's goal.
4: Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the gift of your salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving you whom we adore,
serving you who we adore.
