WORSHIP DETAILS
Sermon Series: Pray This Way
When teaching his disciples how to pray, Jesus said, “Pray this way…” What came next was five short verses that we pray every week in worship and countless people have memorized. The brevity and familiarity might lead us to think of the Lord’s Prayer as simple. But upon closer inspection, it is anything but simple. It is quite possibly the most powerful prayer we have ever prayed.
Today’s Sermon: Deliver Us
Scripture: Matthew 6:13
If we are dedicated to bringing God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, we shouldn’t be surprised when we face opposition from those representing other kingdoms. In a paradoxical way, the temptations and trials we face aren’t a sign that God has abandoned us, but rather they are opportunities to recognize and rely on God’s presence with us.
Online Service – Songs
Come Thou Fount
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here there by Thy great help I’ve come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in the blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy wondrous grace
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless…
Chain Breaker
Verse 1
If you’ve been walking the same old road
For miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice
Tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life
Chorus 1
If you’ve got pain He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison shaking Savior
If you got chains He’s a chain breaker
Verse 2
We’ve all searched for the light of day
In the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out
From the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain’t right
When there’s a better life
There’s a better life
Misc 1
(Bridge)
If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify
Misc 2
(Ending)
Oh if you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison shaking Savior
If you got chains well He’s a chain breaker
Online Service – Scripture
Matthew 6:13
And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us f
MATTHEW 6:13
Psalm 66:8-20
Bless our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept us among the living,
and has not let our feet slip.
For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
You brought us into the net;
you laid burdens on our backs;
you let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.
I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows,
those that my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats.
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.
I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue.
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
But truly God has listened;
he has given heed to the words of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me.
Online Service – Liturgy
Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
Was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
Is seated at the right hand of the Father,
And will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy catholic church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
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 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.
Invitation, Confession, and Pardon
Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,
who earnestly repent of their sin
and seek to live in peace with one another.
Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.
Merciful God,
we confess that we have not loved
you with our whole heart.
We have failed to be an obedient church.
We have not done your will,
we have broken your law,
we have rebelled against your love,
we have not loved our neighbors,
and we have not heard the cry of the needy.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us for joyful obedience,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hear the good news:
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners;
that proves God’s love toward us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Glory to God. Amen.
Hi Lakeside Family!
We miss you and look forward to getting back together for worship. Please see below for ways for us to stay connected and serve our community. We are praying for you.
How We Will Worship
While in-person worship is suspended, we will continue to offer Sunday morning worship at 10:00am via our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.
All live or pre-recorded services will remain available on our Facebook Page, so even if you cannot be online at 10:00am, you can watch it later.
For those who don’t have Facebook, you can view the service at LakesideUMC.net/live
How We Will Gather
We launched a Facebook Group for Lakeside UMC. You are invited to join the group by clicking the following link and requesting entrance: https://www.
This is different than our Facebook Page, which many of you follow. Whereas the page is primarily an outward facing resource, the Group is meant to be a place where we can connect with one another, build community, and continue the work of discipleship. We also have dedicated groups for our Preschool Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Kids Ministry.
We also have several groups that are meeting through zoom. If you are interested, please see our life groups page : LakesideUMC.net/lifegroups.
How We Will Care For One Another
We have created a congregation care plan, and we need your help. If you would like to be checked in on occasionally by a fellow Lakeside member, or you would like to volunteer to check in on your fellow congregation members, please fill out the form here: https://lakesideumc.
Support for Pastor Cameron And His Family
Our staff has been so moved by the outpouring of love and prayer our congregation has shared for Pastor Cameron and his family. There are three primary ways you can support their family at this time:
- Send cards or notes to Lakeside, which we will pass on.
- Contribute to their GoFundMe campaign: https://www.
gofundme.com/f/cameron- lashbrook - Send gift cards for the following locations to Lakeside, which we will pass on: Zoe’s Kitchen, Currito, Panera, Publix, Chiantis
Ways to HELP
Grace & Grits
Because of concern around the safety of guests and volunteers, First UMC plans to shift to an additional grocery distribution day instead of a hot meal until at least August of 2020.
Here are the ways in which we can help:
- If you know anyone in need of grocery assistance, please refer them to First UMC’s alleyway entrance off of Fifth Street in downtown Sanford either Fridays from 10am-12pm or Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. All are welcome! They provide grains, canned and fresh proteins, bread and pastries, canned and fresh vegetables, fruit, snack foods and occasionally other things acquired from Second Harvest such as orange juice or children’s snack items. Folks are simply required to give their name, family size, and answer preference questions like whether they’d like the additional items available.
- The Society of St. Andrew’s gleaning program makes it possible for groups to pick otherwise unused fresh produce to be distributed to folks at their bi-weekly grocery distribution. If you have a group that would like to glean, you can contact Kelly at Society of St Andrew, coordinate a group gleaning, and work with them to drop it off at First UMC at their next available days.
- If you are in a low risk group and would like to help distribute food to the community in safe and efficient way, please contact us. First UMC often times need a small group of folks to help with this.
- If you are in a low risk group and would like to help to sort the food on Thursdays, please contact us.
