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..
THANK YOU, THANK YOU JESUS
Chorus: Thank you Thank you Jesus, For all you’ve done for me
Thank you Thank you Jesus, You’ve been so good to me (repeat)
My soul looks back in wonder, How you brought me over
I just want to say, THANK YOU (Repeat All) (Praise Team Sings Verses)
ONCE AND FOR ALL
God I give You all I can today, These scattered ashes that I hid away
I lay it all, at Your feet
From the corners of my deepest shame, The empty places where I’ve worn
Your name. Show me the love I say I believe
Oh Help me to lay it down, Oh Lord I lay it down
Oh let this be where I die, My lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall, Once and for all, once and for all
There is victory in my Saviors loss,
And In the crimson flowing from the cross, Pour over me, pour over me yes
Oh let this be where I die, My lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall, Once and for all, once and for all
Oh Lord I lay it down, Oh Lord I lay it down
Help me to lay it down, Oh Lord I lay it down
Oh let this be where I die, My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall,
Once and for all, Once and for all, Once and for all, Once and for all
ACAPELLA Oh let this be where I die, My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall, Once and for all, Once and for all
10,000 REASONS
Chorus: Bless the Lord oh my soul… Oh my soul. I cherish Your lovely name
Sing like never before, Oh my soul. I’ll cherish Your lovely name.(pause)
Verse 1: The sun comes up. It’s a new day dawning, It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me/
Let me be singing when the evening comes (pause, repeat chorus)
Verse 2 You’re rich in love, and You’re always faithful. Your grace is great
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)
Verse 3 And on that day, When my strength is failing.
The end draws near, And my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your love unending/
Ten thousand years and then forevermore. Forevermore
(repeat chorus then continue below)
Yes I will cherish Your lovely name. Jesus I’ll cherish Your lovely name
Sing like never before, Oh my soul, I’ll cherish Your lovely name
Jesus I’ll cherish Your lovely name
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up into a mountain: and
when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened
his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in
spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that
mourn: for they shall be comforted. MATTHEW 5:1-4
All praise to the God of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! God
of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! God comes alongside
us when we go through hard times, and before you know it,
God brings us alongside someone else who is going through
hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God
was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from
following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of
his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-5
