1 The Holy Name January 1, 2017 Happy New Year [CALL TO WORSHIP] è Luke 2:15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. 21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. [PRAYER] King of Heaven Jesus let your kingdom come here Let your will be done here in us Jesus there is no one greater You alone are Saviour Show the world Your love King of heaven come down King of heaven come now Let your glory reign Shining like the day King of heaven come

2 King of heaven rise up Who can stand against us You are strong to save In your mighty name King of heaven come We are children of your mercy Rescued for your glory We cry Jesus Set our hearts towards you That every eye would see you lifted high Fairest Lord Jesus Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature Oh Thou of God and man the Son Thee will I cherish Thee will I honour Thou my soul's glory joy and crown Beautiful Saviour Lord of the nations Son of God and Son of Man Glory and honour praise adoration Now and forever more be Thine è Psalm 8 1 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

3 5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! [STORIES] Andy Harder Abigail Vybihal Keith & Joan Wight [PRAYER FOR OTHERS] è Philippians 2: In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

4 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Your Name As morning dawns and evening fades You inspire songs of praise That rise from earth to touch Your heart And glorify Your Name Your Name is a strong and mighty tower Your Name is a shelter like no other Your Name let the nations sing it louder 'Cause nothing has the power to save But Your Name Jesus in Your Name we pray Come and fill our hearts today Lord give us strength to live for You And glorify Your Name In Christ Alone In Christ alone I place my trust And find my glory in the power of the cross In every victory let it be said of me My source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone [COMMUNION] Be Thou My Vision Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart. Nought be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best thought in the day and the night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

5 Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word, I ever with Thee, and Thou with me, Lord. Thou my great Father and I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou my inheritance now and always. Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. O high King of heaven, when battle is done Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven's sun. Christ of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, Thou ruler of all. è Numbers 6: The Lord said to Moses, 23 Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. [PRAYER] Throughout all time you have blessed your people, O God, and dwelt among them. On the first day of this new year, inspire and guide us, that all we do may find in you its beginning and fulfillment. Amen.
