Opening Song: This Little Light of Mine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I’m gonna let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I’m gonna let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel, NO!, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Won’t let Satan blow it out, I’m gonna let it shine.
Won’t let Satan blow it out, I’m gonna let it shine.
Won’t let Satan blow it out, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Let it shine ’til Jesus comes, I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine ’til Jesus comes, I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine ’til Jesus comes, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Invocation
Confession and Forgiveness:
P: We have come here today to worship the Lord. In worship we hear the Word of God, we receive God’s blessings, and respond with thanks and praise. We begin by seeking God’s blessing of forgiveness. He has promised to remove the guilt and shame of our sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
(a time of silence to reflect and personally confess our sins)
P: Let us confess our sins to the Lord.
P: Heavenly Father,
C: Heavenly Father,
P: I have done things that were wrong.
C: I have done things that were wrong.
P: I have been mean to others.
C: I have been mean to others.
P: I have not obeyed my parents.
C: I have not obeyed my parents.
P: I have not obeyed You, God.
C: I have not obeyed You, God.
P: But I am very sorry.
C: But I am very sorry.
P: Please forgive me.
C: Please forgive me.
P: I love You very much.
C: I love You very much.
P: And I know You love me, too.
C: And I know You love me, too.
P: Amen.
C: Amen.
P: God has heard your apology. He loves you very much. God has told us that when we believe and trust in Him, He makes us His children. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us. He has told me to tell you that you are forgiven. So, as His servant, I forgive you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
Song of Praise and Thanksgiving: God Is So Good
God is so good. God is so good.
God is so good. He’s so good to me.
He died for me. He died for me so.
He died for me. He’s so good to me.
He loves me so. He loves me so.
He loves me so. He’s so good to me. © Public Domain
First Reading – John 9:1-3
While Jesus was walking along, he saw a certain man. This man had been blind since he was born. Jesus’ disciples asked him, ‘Teacher, why was this man blind when he was born? Was it because he himself did something wrong? Or was it because his parents did something wrong?’ Jesus answered, ‘It was not because either this man or his parents did something wrong. It happened so that God could show his great work in this man.
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord
C: Praise be to You, O Christ.
Children’s Message “Jesus Helps Us”
Song: Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Verse 1
Tell me the story of Jesus. Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus sang as they welcomed His birth.
“Glory to God in the highest. Peace and good tidings to earth.”
Refrain
Tell me the story of Jesus. Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
Verse 2
Fasting alone in the desert, tell of the days that are past.
How for our sins He was tempted, yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor. Tell of the sorrow He bore.
He was despised and afflicted, homeless rejected and poor.
(Refrain)
Verse 3
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,
writhing in anguish and pain.
Tell of the grave where they laid Him. Tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender, clearer than ever I see
Stay let me weep while you whisper.
“Love paid the ransom for me.”

After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

Sermon Song: I Love To Tell The Story
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story because I know ’tis true.
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.
Chorus:
I love to tell the story. ‘Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story. ‘Tis pleasant to repeat,
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story for some have never heard,
The message of salvation from God’s own Holy Word.
Chorus:
I love to tell the story. ‘Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best,
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
Chorus:
I love to tell the story. ‘Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love.

Gospel Reading – John 9:8-12
His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” Some claimed that he was.
Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
“Where is this man?” they asked him.
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise be to You, O Christ.

Closing Song Lyrics: Marvelous Light
Chorus:
Into marvelous light I’m running, out of darkness out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth, You are the life, You are the way.
I once was fatherless, a stranger with no hope.
Your kindness wakened me, wakened me from my sleep, now.
Your love it beckons deeply, a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come. Take this life, take your life!
Pre-Chorus:
Sin has lost its power! Death has lost its sting!
From the grave you’ve risen victoriously!
(Chorus)
My dead heart now is beating, my deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs, now I’m free, now I’m free.(Repeat)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Lift my hands and spin around. See the light that I have found,
Oh the marvelous light, marvelous light!
(Repeat)
