FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT
March 22, 2020
SONG OF TRUST: “He Leadeth Me”
He leadeth me: oh, blessed thought! Oh, words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
What-e’er I do, wher-e’er I be, Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me, By his own hand he leadeth me.
His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by his hand he leadeth me.
Sometimes mide scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters calm, o’er troubled sea, Still ‘tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me, By his own hand he leadeth me.
His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by his hand he leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done, When by thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me, By his own hand he leadeth me.
His faithful foll’wer I would be, For by his hand he leadeth me.

RLC Text: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Lord of the church, You have called Your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown.

People: hear our prayer.
Pastor: Merciful Lord, You have committed to our love and care our fellow human beings and their necessities. Graciously be with and prosper all those who serve the sick.

but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.
