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!
Affirmation Chorus: In This Place
In this place, There’s joy that I can’t explain
In this place, There’s healing for all my pain
There is love unlike I’ve ever known
Everybody here makes me feel at home
As we gather here, I know I’m not alone
I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..
YOUR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL
You surrounded me with your songs of praise
You have brought me to this place
Where your love and grace, move within my life
Now Your message is my light
Chorus: Your love is beautiful, Your love is beautiful
It’s the reason why I sing
All around the world, let the praise begin
All around the world, let the praise begin (BREAK)
I am planted here by the waters and I am living for the King
I have found my place in the house of God, This is where I’m meant to be
Chorus 2:
Your love is beautiful, Your love is beautiful
It’s the reason why I sing
All around the world, let the praise begin
All around the world, let the praise begin
All around the world, let the praise begin
All around the world, let the praise begin

And Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reason for my heart to find (pause, repeat chorus)

The end draws near, And my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your love unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore. Forevermore

Sing like never before, Oh my soul, I’ll cherish Your lovely name

SHOUT TO THE LORD
My Jesus, my Saviour, Lord there is none like You,
All of my days I want to praise, the wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength,
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.
CHORUS: Shout to the Lord, All the earth let us sing
Power and majesty, Praise to the King.
Mountains bow down And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands.
Forever I’ll love You, Forever I’ll stand.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,
drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting
off his ear. “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him,
“for all who draw the sword will die by the sword”
MATTHEW 26:50-52
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved
you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know
that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
JOHN 13:34-35
