Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship

In the midst of life’s storms, God is there.
What have we to fear?
In the darkness and terror, God is with us.
Of whom shall we be afraid?
Rise up, people of God, for you are loved and saved.
Thanks be to God who cares deeply for us. Amen.

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father you are King
Over the flood
I will be still
And know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

Cornerstone

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' name

Christ alone cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm He is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
I will be still and know
You are God
I will be still and know

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

Prayers of the People

Hear My Cry O God (Psalm 61)

Hear my cry, O God
Listen to my prayer

From the ends of the earth I call to you though my heart is faint

Let me abide with you forever

Scripture | Mark 4:35-41 (NIV)

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Homily | "Don't you care?"

Silent Reflection

By Gracious Powers So Wonderfully Sheltered

Music by Jean Sibelius (Finlandia) | Lyrics by Dietrich Bonhoeffer | Translated by Fred Pratt Green

By gracious pow'rs so wonderfully sheltered
and confidently waiting come what may
we know that God is with us night and morning
and never fails to greet us each new day
we know that God is with us night and morning
and never fails to greet us each new day

Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
Still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation,
For which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation,
For which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.

And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suff'ring, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
we take it thankfully and without trembling
out of so good and so beloved a hand.

Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
we shall remember all the days we lived through
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
