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..
YOU ARE GOOD
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth forever.
Lord, You are good and Your mercy endureth forever.
People from every nation and tongue,
From generation to generation
We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are
We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
We worship You for who You are. You are good!
You are good all the time, all the time You are good
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
Verse 1: At the foot of the cross, Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love, Through the judgment You received
And You’ve won my heart, And You’ve won my heart (Now I can)
Chorus: Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy I lay every burden down, At the foot of the cross
Verse 2: At the foot of the cross, Where I am made complete
You have given me life, Through the debt you bore for me
And You’ve won my heart, And You’ve won my heart (Now I can)
(Repeat Chorus twice, then instrumental)
Bridge: And You’ve won my heart,
And You’ve won my heart Now I can
(Repeat Chorus twice)
I lay every burden down, I lay every burden down
I lay every burden down, At the foot of the cross
I’m laying every burden down, I’m laying every burden down
I WON’T GO BACK
I’ve been changed, healed, freed, delivered, I’ve found joy, peace, grace and favor
I’ve been changed, healed, freed, delivered, I’ve found joy, peace, grace and favor
BRIDGE
Right now is the moment, today is the day,
I’ve been changed, I’ve been changed
I have waited for this moment to come, And I won’t let it pass me by
CHORUS
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
All my shame, guilt, sins, forgiven, No more chains, fear, my past is over
REPEAT BRIDGE THEN CHORUS (4X)
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
The Lord heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.
PSALMS 147:3
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the
Lord; because they have called you an outcast…for whom no one cares.
JEREMIAH 30:17
Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not
with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him,
“We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail
marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put
my hand into his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples
were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the
doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here;
see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop
doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
JOHN 20:24-28
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father
of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all
our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with
the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the
sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ
our comfort overflows. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-5
