This was a day when little of what was planned happened, and the unexpected showed up. And the Lord met us through it! Aside from preaching the Word, I know of no other way to serve the Lord's people that so humbles us while bringing such joy.
Morning Worship
This was "Friend Sunday," where we shorten the service a bit, and really work at simple presentation. The musical theme was "Abundant Mercy." Sean Melvin preached from Romans 3:9-24, calling it "Bad News, Good News."
Walk-in:
Psalm 96 (tune: lyons)
A modern setting from David Preston (@Jubilate Hymns). Get the Praise! hymnal (from the UK). It's pricey, but full of good stuff. If you don't need the music, then get the words-only edition.
Set:
Ps 100/doxology
We sing the psalm (tune: old 100th -- imagine that!), interspersed with Thomas Ken's doxology ("Praise God from whom..." to a tune I don't really know, a 6/8 thing that was here long before I was)
How high and how wide
from Mark Altrogge, sovereign grace
Your mercy, my God
the Sandra McCracken tune; we update the language a bit
Lord, I lift your name on high
good way to close the set!
B/4 sermon:
Rock of Ages
the wonderful tune from James Ward
Evening Worship
Pastor Joe continued his preaching through John 17. v.11: "And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one." (esv) Music theme: On God's preserving grace.

Remember this one? Good hymn, if dated (but fun) music to sing. We used the hymnal.
Set:
God's purpose stands
John Piper's hymn on the believer's security in the sovereign paths of God's grace (tune: solid rock). I may post this hymn later.
A debtor to mercy alone
Toplady's hymn, but we use the tune: Contrast (cf. "how tedious and tasteless the hours")
Have you not known
Watts setting from Isa 40, updated language (tune: dundee)
Lamb of God (Twila Paris)
