Prayer
Triplets
During the season of Lent, you are invited
to participate with a prayer triplet for
discussion and prayer. This is a great way
to get to know two other people in the
church and deepen your faith through
discussion of the week's sermon and
sharing prayer together.
You will be assigned to a triplet and your
group can decide the best time to meet
each week. Each Triplet will meet 6 times,
once a week from February 21 - April 3.
Those wishing to participate should
register at ogumc.org/news
by Monday, February 1.

January 17, 2021 Second Sunday after the Epiphany
Prelude
Pastoral Welcome Dr. Joseph McBrayer
Call to Worship The Harrison Family
God has shown us humans what is good.
So what does the Lord require of us?
To act justly, and to love mercy,
And to walk humbly with our God.
*Hymn of Praise Jesus Calls Us UMH 398
A Morning Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer Dr. Amy Morgan
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.
Anthem Here I Am, Lord arr. M Hayes
Chancel Choir
Scripture John 1:43-51 William Beckner

Discipleship
Offertory Prayer Mary and Curt Lindquist
O Christ, you have sent us as apostles into the world, to share your gospel with every person.
Help us to share all we have with your children so that the whole world will come to believe
in your mercy. Amen.
Offertory Anthem Allegro Moderato A Dvořák
David Naglee, violin; Leanne Herrmann, piano
*Affirmation of Faith 1 Timothy 2:5-6;1:15;3:16 Porter Bemiss
There is one God and there is one mediator, Christ Jesus, who came as a ransom for all,
to whom we testify.
This saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance: That Jesus Christ came into the world
to save sinners, and was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations, believed in throughout the world, taken up in Glory.
Great indeed is the mystery of the gospel. Amen.
*Sending Hymn Forth in Thy Name, O Lord UMH 438
*Benediction Dr. LaRocca-Pitts
*Congregation stand as able.
