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
(Long break then repeat Chorus 2)
GOD OF ALL MY DAYS
I came to You with my heart in pieces
And found you God with healing in your hands
I turned to You, put everything behind me
And found the God who makes all things new
I looked to You, drowning in my questions,
And found the God who holds all wisdom
And I trusted You and stepped out on the ocean
You caught my hand among the waves
Chorus: ‘Cause You’re the God of all my days, Each step I take You make a way.
And I will give You all my praise. My seasons change, You stay the same.
You’re the God of all my days (Pause)
I ran from You, and wandered in the shadows
And found a God who relentlessly pursues
I hid from You, haunted by my failure,
And found the God whose grace still covers me
I fell on You when I was at my weakest
And found the God, the lifter of my head
And I’ve worshiped You. And felt You right beside me
You’re the reason that I sing (chorus)
In my worry, God You are my stillness, In my searching, God You are my answers
In my blindness, God You are my vision, In my bondage, God You are my freedom
In my weakness, God You are my power, You’re the reason that I sing (chorus)
In my blindness, God You are my vision. In my bondage,
God You are my freedom… All my days
I GIVE YOU MY ALL
This is my desire; To honor You. Lord, with all my heart; I worship You.
All I have within me; I give You praise. All that I adore; Is in You.
Chorus: Lord, I give You my heart; I give You my soul. I live for You alone.
Every breath that I take, Every moment I’m awake,
Lord, have Your way in me.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God
on high?
Shall I come before God with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand
of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first born for my transgression, or the
fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? God has told you O mortal,
what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do
justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
MICAH 6:6-8
Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy.
MATTHEW 5:7
Go and learn what the Scriptures mean when they say, `Instead of
offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others.’
I didn’t come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to
invite sinners. MATTHEW 9:13
