*CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: People:

Leader: People: All:

We gather to worship in the name of Jesus Christ, our living cornerstone, who, though rejected by the world, was chosen and precious in God’s sight.

And like living stones, let us be built up into a spiritual house for God, offering sacrifices of worship and praise that are pleasing in his sight.

Let’s worship God together!

HYMN #403

Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation

1. Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord and precious, Binding all the Church in one, Holy Zion's help forever, And her confidence alone.

3. Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign.

2. To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of hosts, today.

With accustomed loving-kindness, Hear Thy people as they pray, And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway.

4. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit; Ever Three and ever One. One in might, and One in glory While unending ages run.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (Apostles’ Creed)

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. *GLORY BE TO THE FATHER #813 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, amen.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION Lord Jesus, you call us to watchfulness and prayer, but we are distracted and tired. You ask us to join with you in praying for your suffering for the salvation of the world, but we are more interested in seeking our own comfort. You invited us to come and reason together about life and love, but we are too engaged in our debates with the world. You desire to free us from our sins, but we want to fulfill our sinful desires and call it freedom. So, turn us unto you, O’Lord, and we shall be turned indeed. Forgive us our sins, and place within us a right heart, that we might live righteous lives by the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON (1 John 1:9) Leader: All:

If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.

PRAYER OF ILLUMINATION Spirit of God, speak once again through the Words of Scripture that our listening ears may hear Your voice. Help us to place Your Word in our minds, treasure it in our hearts, choose it with our wills, and live it through our bodies. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

SCRIPTURE

Mark 14:32-42

They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.

Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

Leader: This is the word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God!

ANTHEM

Thy Will Be Done Chancel Choir

Craig Courtney

Our cup was filled with darkness.

Our cup was filled with death.

Christ took a cup and drank it, and gave us life, and gave us hope, gave us Himself.

“My Father, let this cup pass from me, My Father, let this cup pass from me; Yet not my will, O Lord, yet not my will, O Lord, But Thine be done.”

In blackest night we hear Him, In dark Gethsemane, Pleading with the Father for one more way, for one more hope, for one more day.

“My Father, let this cup pass from me, My Father, let this cup pass from me; Yet not my will, O Lord, yet not my will, O Lord, But Thine be done.Thy will be done. Thy will be done.”

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. *HYMN #640

Sweet Hour of Prayer

1. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known; In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

2. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word, and trust His grace, I'll cast on Him my every care And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

OFFERINGS OF THE PEOPLE OFFERTORY

SERMON

“HANDED OVER”

*HYMN #342

Rock Of Ages

1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.

Rev. Jim Noble

2. Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, Thee for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.

In my hand no price I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling.

3. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. *BENEDICTION

& RESPONSE

Now unto Him

#234

Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling And to make you stand in His presence blameless and with great joy.

To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Be the glory and the majesty, dominion and authority, Both now and forever. Amen!

Adversity is a condition of suffering and hardship involving anguish, pressure, trials, heartaches, or disappointments. It may be physical or emotional in nature, and either long or short in duration, but it always causes pain. Although none of us want hurt or trouble, if it comes, we have two options. We can waste our sorrows or grow in our relationship with the Lord. Spiritual growth in adversity depends on several factors; one of which is to equip us to comfort others. That is where your Walking Beside ministers can make a difference -- meeting your need by providing care, compassion, community, and a listening ear. Give us a call.

Dear DHPC family,

page 7

REACH OUT! We are so glad you (yes, you) are here with us at DHPC... and we want you to be excited about inviting others! One of the first steps to evangelism is to invite people onto our campus and welcome them once they are here. DHPC has a number of events that are attractive to our community. Inviting friends to DHPC is every member's responsibility, and welcoming them is a privilege.

Who might YOU invite to Adult Education Classes?

We are ALL ministers of outreach. Let's love this community together!

JANUARY WISH LIST JELLY Cream Soup Pasta sides, Rice sides (Rice a Roni etc.)

Announcing the Winter 2021 Class Line Up For Adults “FOR GOD SO LOVED…” [The Greatest Love Story Ever Told] An expansive study of God’s love as seen from eternity past to eternity future Instructor: Lew Dymond

“MAKERS” [Living Out Your Purpose] An expansive study of being a disciple first and then making disciples for Jesus.

Instructor: Bill Billard

Synopsis: The title of the study will immediately bring to mind John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only (begotten) Son, that whoever believes in(to) him shall not perish but have eternal life." But this study is a more expansive study of God's love as seen from eternity past to eternity future. The most comprehensive definition of God’s love is contained in 1 John 4:8 and 16. "God is Love."

Synopsis: Discipleship is at the very heart of the ministry of Jesus. It should be at the heart of the life of the Christian as well! This series has been designed for those that are wanting to fulfill God’s plan for their lives of being Disciples of Jesus, and making Disciples of Jesus.

The study includes 8 stand-alone lessons: The Trinity The Unseen Realm The creation of the Heavens & the Earth The rise & fall of man (Eden, Tower of Babel & the Flood) God's portion (the Nation of Israel) The Savior (Redemption & Reconciliation) Fruit happens (abiding in Christ and Him in us) The Other Side of the Wall (for Christians, death is a “comma”, not a “period”) Class Time: 9:45am - 10:45am Class Dates: 8 consecutive Sundays beginning January 31 Location: Room 104 (Adult Classroom Wing) “

The video-driven study includes 5 lessons: Made: What is our purpose in life knowing we are made in God’s image?

Made to Make: We are called to go & create, but what?

Move: We are molded & shaped for a reason, but how do we move in the right direction?

Go Therefore: How can we make time to disciple in lives that are already too busy?

Go and Make: There are plenty of reasons not to, but what will we miss out on if we don’t go and make?

The class will serve to introduce topics presented by speaker Ron Bennett (Navigators) at DHPC’s “Discipleship Rocks!” seminar on March 5-6.

Class Time: 11:10am - 12:10pm Class Dates: 5 consecutive Sundays beginning January 31 Location: Room 104 (Adult Classroom Wing)

The text of this morning’s offertory, Go to Dark Gethsemane, was originally published in 1820. The tune first appeared in 1853 as a setting for the hymn text Rock of Ages, which (coincidentally?) happens to be our final hymn today. Sometimes hymn tunes were written for a specific hymn text. Holy, Holy, Holy, for example, was first published in 1861 with the text and tune that we know today.

However, it was common for texts to be sung to different tunes, which can be done as long as the text and tune have the same meter. You may notice that we occasionally sing an unfamiliar hymn text with a familiar tune. Some tunes are popular and have more than one text associated with them. A good example of this is the tune HYFRYDOL, which is the tune for four hymns in our hymnal: #17 Our Great Savior, #244 Come, Thou LongExpected Jesus, #309 I Will Sing of My Redeemer, and #377 Alleluia, Sing to Jesus. We even have a case of this today, as the first hymn, Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation, has the same tune as Angels from the Realms of Glory, which we sang two weeks ago (when the scripture passage from 1 Corinthians included: By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. Another coincidence?)

DARE TO BE NEW!!

Sunday School Volunteers needed!

Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto Me for such is the Kingdom of Heaven!"

The congregation of DHPC has a wonderful opportunity to help fulfill the words of Jesus! We are about to adventure into "Orange", a Church School program which Chris Haidet, Family & Student Director, has found to be most effective, as well as enjoyable, for kids from two years old through high school. We have some teachers on board, but we certainly need more.

The program works well with volunteers to help with check-in and to assist the teachers, etc. THIS MEANS YOU!! Please consider joining us in a beautiful adventure to watch the children come to know and love Jesus! If interested, please call Susan Constance (480) 627-9613.

Weekly reservations are still required to attend. In addition, The Session is continuing its policy that masks or face shields are required for everyone who attends worship with the exception of children age five and under (who must remain with guardians at all times). A mask or face shield must be worn when you are entering the building, during the worship service and the entire time you are on the church campus (bring one from home or one will be provided). For those who are unable to wear a mask or face shield due to medical reasons, The Session feels that you are safer at home.
