OCEAN VIEW SUNDAY WORSHIP AT HOME

OCTOBER 4, 2020

WELCOME

Today, we celebrate communion – the day when we remember Christ’s death for our sin. Before we come into God’s presence together this morning, prepare yourself and space for a time of worship and communion—grab your Bibles and turn to Ephesians 3, put together pieces of bread or crackers on a plate for you and your family to eat, as well as cups of juice/water to drink during communion.

We now come as a people scattered throughout the city worshiping in our homes. Even still we are one people, worshiping the one true God. As you participate in today’s worship, allow yourselves to worship the Lord with joy and thanksgiving.

Call to Worship

Now join in the call to worship by reading aloud together

Psalm 40:1-3

Leader: I waited patiently for the Lord;

People: he turned to me and heard my cry.

Leader: He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

People: out of the mud and mire;

Leader: he set my feet on a rock,

People: and gave me a firm place to stand.

Leader: He put a new song in my mouth,

People: a hymn of praise to our God.

Leader: Many will see and fear the Lord,

People: and put their trust in him.

Sing to the Lord from your heart with joy and thanksgiving!

SONG - he will hold me fast

SONG - o come to the altar

SONG - my lighthouse

(Kids help your parents sing this one!)

SCRIPTURE READING

Have someone read the Scripture for today.

“When Scripture Speaks, God Speaks.”

Ephesians 3: 7-11

7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
