INTROIT: Run the Race! by Cindy Berry
We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. So let us throw off everything that hinders us. Let us throw off the sin that weighs us down. And let us run the race with endurance, not growing tired or weary. Let us hear our Savior saying, “Do not lose heart!” Let us run the race. Jesus is our example, the author and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set before Him, He finished His race. He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God. So we run the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus. Until we see His face, we will run the race!

ANTHEM: Building Up the Kingdom by M. Roger Holland II
My hands are your hands, to pray and to serve, to do works of justice, to heal where there is hurt, to touch the untouchable as God did in the flesh. Greater works you said we’ll do, if in your name we’ll ask. I wanna be used for the building up of the kingdom of God; keep my hand on the gospel plow, never gonna stop. I wanna be used for the building up of the kingdom of God. I’m gonna build it up until I get home. My feet are your feet, to go where you please, clothed in your righteousness with the gospel of peace. I’ll run and not get weary, walk and not faint, strengthened by your Spirit to run this Christian race. My tongue is your tongue, to speak your holy word, spreading the gospel, to bless and not curse, to sing with the angels, their song from above. I dedicate my life to you, an offering of love. Ain’t gonna stop, never, never gonna stop, no!, till I get home.
