Our Affirmation of Faith
We believe in God the creator of us all, whose desire for
diversity is seen in the rainbow of humanity. With unrelenting
passion God Seeks to be in relationship with all of us.
We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of
God’s redeeming grace; And in the Holy Spirit through whom
that grace continues its restoring work.
We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth
today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus,
to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve.
We believe that together we can change the world,
in our time and for all time Amen!

I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place.

BROKEN VESSELS (AMAZING GRACE)
Verse 1: All these pieces, Broken and scattered, In mercy gathered,
Mended and whole, Empty handed, But not forsaken
I’ve been set free, I’ve been set free
Chorus: Amazing grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a one like me,
I once was lost, But now I’m found, Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see you now, Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying yourself down, Raising up the broken to life (pause)
Verse 2: You take our failure. You take our weakness You set Your treasure, In jars of clay So take this heart, Lord, I’ll be Your vessel The world to see, Your life in me (Repeat Chorus 3x)

Today’s Scripture
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith;
be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
1 CORINTHIANS 16:13-14
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive
one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues
put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be
thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly
as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom
through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to
God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do,
whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
LUKE 4:14-21
