Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant
mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me
from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Psalm 51:1-3

†Anthem My Savior’s Love - Schwoebel (Please stand when directed and sing)
When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, ‘Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me. How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be;
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!

Response: Thanks be to God!
Sermon “Shatterproof Hearts” Mack Dennis
Discipline of Silence Knowing the heart of Jesus and loving him are the same thing…The mystery of ministry is that we have been chosen to make our own limited and very conditional love the gateway for the unlimited and unconditional love of God. - Henri Nouwen
*Hymn 320 Beneath the Cross of Jesus (verses 1,3,4)
*Passing of the Peace Leader: The peace of Christ be with you!
People: And also with you.
*Closing Chorus Long Ago, God Reached in Love Tune: Jesus Loves Me Jeremiah came to know: God would help us change and grow; So God’s law would fill each heart, giving us a fresh, new start. Refrain:
God, you are faithful, God you are faithful, God you are faithful: Your covenant is love! Text: ©1999 by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette. Used by permission CCLI#295340
