OPENING HYMN 139 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty LOBE DEN HERREN
1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!
2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigning
bears thee on eagle’s wings, e’er in his keeping maintaining.
God’s care enfolds all, whose true good he upholds.
Hast thou not known his sustaining?
3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
who with his love doth befriend thee.
4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.

grace to ask these gifts of thee, daring hearts and spirits free.

give us courage, let us hear heaven's trumpets ringing clear.

offering lives if it's thy will, keeping free our spirits still.
God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour.
MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT
Another semester has ended at CSM and we are so grateful for the time we got to share together. We
weren't sure if we would be able to gather in worship, but God provided the space and the safety that
gave our students a place to grow in their faith. Even though we were separated by a six foot radius it was
clear that our students still found community even in the adversity. If it wasn't for the care that is put into
the facilities and investment the Central family has made in our student ministry, this semester wouldn't
have been possible. Thank you, Central, for your contributions which foster an environment that gives
back to the next generation.
