The text of the opening hymn was written by an Englishman, Robert Robinson. He had a tough start in life with the death of his father when Robert was a young boy. He was a rebellious and wild trouble maker until around the age of seventeen when he heard George Whiteld preach. He was convicted by the sermon and struggled with it until three years later in 1755 he gave his life to Christ. He then went into the ministry. He wrote the text of Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing for a sermon he was giving at Pentecost. It was a prayer that the Holy Spirit would ood our hearts. The tune is a traditional American melody from the early 1800s. It is a wonderful prayer for the beginning of worship and is our prayer today. Worship has been described as an act of retuning our hearts to the mind of God. May that be so today for each of us. - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the Peace

St. Paul always greeted with the words, The peace of God be with you. This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we say, The peace of the Lord be with you and respond, And also with you. We then pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace we should earnestly desire Gods peace upon each person we greet.
