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: Kingdom, Power, and Glory
Scripture: Matthew 6:13
As we wrap up our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we are faced with a familiar and seemingly simple benediction: yours, God, is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. But as we have found with the entirety of this prayer, it is much easier to say than it is to truly live out.

Blessed Assurance
Chorus 1
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Verse 1
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood
Verse 2
Perfect submission perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy whispers of love
Verse 3
Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love
Your Name
Verse 1
As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your Name
Chorus 1
Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name let the nations sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name
Verse 2
Jesus in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your Name
Online Service – Scripture
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Psalm 68:4-10, 32-35
Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds—
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation.
God gives the desolate a home to live in;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a parched land.
O God, when you went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain
at the presence of God, the God of Sinai,
at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Rain in abundance, O God, you showered abroad;
you restored your heritage when it languished;
your flock found a dwelling in it;
in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth;
sing praises to the Lord,
O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens;
listen, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice.
Ascribe power to God,
whose majesty is over Israel;
and whose power is in the skies.
Awesome is God in his sanctuary,
the God of Israel;
he gives power and strength to his people.
Blessed be God!

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.
