“Of the Parent’s Heart Begotten”
Verses 1,2,5
1 Of the Parent’s heart begotten When the worlds were yet to be, One there was with no beginning, One who is eternally— Source and Ending of all things that have been, And all things that are to be, Forever and forever. 2 By this Word was all created, By this Word were all things done; Land and air and deepest ocean, Harmony of three in one, And all growing in the lu__mi-nance Shed forth from the moon and sun, Forever and forever. 5 Depths and weights break forth in singing Angels, saints make melody, All dominions, every power sing, Make new psalms of ecstasy, Let no heart refrain from praising God, Celebrate in harmony, Forever and forever.

HYMN.....................................................................................................HYMN #295
“I Sing a Song of the Saints of God”
1. I sing a song of the saints of God, Faithful their whole lives through, Who bravely labored, lived, and died for the God they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen, And another a shepherd in pastures green; They were saints of God, if you know what I mean. God, help me to be one, too. 2. They loved their God and they lived that love, It was loving that made them strong. They did what was right, for Jesus’ sake, lived justly their whole lives long. And one was a prophet, and one was priest, and another was slain by a fierce wild beast: There is no earthly reason, none in the least, Why I shouldn’t be one, too.
9
3. They lived not only in ages past, There are hundreds of thousands still. The world is filled with living saints who choose to do God’s will. You can meet them in school, on the road, or at sea, In a crush, in a train, in a shop, or at tea: For the saints are folk like you and like me, And I mean to be one, too.

Thank you for joining us in worship today
We are delighted to have you worshiping with us today!
Church of the Good Shepherd, UCC is a dynamic congregation with a rich history and an exciting ministry in the community.
Our church is a part of a blend of four major Protestant denominations that united together in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ.
We claim the early Pilgrim and Puritan settlers of this country as part of our heritage, and celebrate the words of Pastor John Robinson, who in his farewell remarks to the Pilgrims as they were leaving for the “new world,” said,
“There is still more light and truth to break forth from God’s holy word.”
We are a church that:
• Takes the Bible seriously, but not literally.
• Worships God with joyful hearts and open minds.
• Includes children in the life and ministry of the church.
• Celebrates creativity and the arts.
• Seeks to be inclusive of ALL people.
• Believes that growth in wisdom and understanding happens at all stages of life.
• Is committed to work for justice for all people and for the environment.
• Cares for one another, laughs easily, and rests in God’s love.
