Prelude (Kathleen Jones)
Call to Worship
Call on the name of the Lord in praise.
Make known God’s deeds among the nations!
Sing to God with joyful songs.
Tell of God’s wonderful deeds!
Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again.
Death no longer has dominion over him!
Let us worship God!

Scripture Readings
Psalm 30:1-5, 11-12 (NRSV)
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up, and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol,
restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
You have turned my mourning into dancing;
you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
so that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
John 21:1-19
Sermon (Gale Watkins, Pastor)
Hymn: “Fight the Good Fight” (Presbyterian Hymnal #307)

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
The Lord’s Prayer
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Offertory
Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.
In every time and every age, O God …
… with the saints of every age, we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed are you, O God, creator of all things …
… Remembering our Lord’s self-giving love, we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Dying you destroyed our death, rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory.
Blessed are you, O Spirit, giver of life …
… We praise you, O God, now and forever. Amen.
Communion
Prayer
God of abundance,
with this bread of life and cup of salvation you have united us with Christ,
making us one with all your people.
Now send us forth in the power of your Spirit
that we may proclaim your redeeming love to the world
and continue forever in the risen life of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
