    *Call To Worship (Liturgist)

    Leader: From the beginning, God entered into covenant with the human family: With Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Deborah, Ruth, and Jerimiah.

    People: Through Baptism, Jesus Christ Calls us into the covenant and makes us ministers of Christ’s righteousness.

    Leader: All Christian ministry is Christ’s work of outreaching love. It demonstrates a common life of gratitude and devotion, witness and service, celebration and discipleship.

    People: All Christians are called to Christ’s servanthood in the world, to the glory of God and for human fulfillment.

    Leader: The Church, as the community of the new covenant, participates in Christ’s ministry of grace.

    People: It stretches out to human needs wherever service may convey God’s love and ours.

    Leader: In our ministry of servanthood is this ultimate concern:

    All: that all may be renewed in the image of their creator, and that all Christians are called to minister in deeds and words that heal and free. Amen.

    Leader: In the quiet of the night, and in the busyness of the day, God meets us.

    Leader:     When our own strength fails, and our clever schemes run out, the Lord remains faithful.
    People say: He breaks our pride to heal our souls; He humbles us to lift us up.
    Leader:     Let us drop our defenses and step into holy ground.
    All say: Let us worship the God who knows our name, heals our wounds, and holds us in His everlasting arms!

  • a bit of church history

    A look back into the history of FUMC Sanger. Before the building we currently have at the corner of N. 5th and Locust we had this wonderful building at N. 5th and Cherry. (the original home of the stained glass we see in our current building). This building was taken down and two of the large cornerstones remain as part of our history.

    And some things stay the same over the years.
