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..
WHO YOU SAY I AM
Verse 1: Who am I that the highest One would welcome me
I was lost but God brought me in. Oh God’s love for me, Oh God’s love for me
Chorus 1: Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed. I’m a child of God, Yes I am
Verse 2: Free at last, God has welcomed me, God’s grace runs deep
While I was asleep inside. Christ awakened me, Christ awakened me
Chorus 2 Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am. In God’s house of love,
There’s a place for me. I’m a child of God, Yes I am
Bridge 1: (I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who You say I am. You are for me, not
against me, I am who You say I am) (repeat ( )) I am who You say I am
Chorus 3Who the Son sets free, Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God, Yes I am. In God’s house of love,
There’s a place for me. I’m a child of God, Yes I am
In God’s house of love, There’s a place for me. I’m a child of God, Yes I am
[Interlude] Bridge 2: I am chosen, not forsaken, I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me, I am who You say I am. (repeat ( ) 3x)
For I am who You say I am, Yes, I am who You say I am! (repeat Chorus2)
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
DO IT AGAIN
Randy: Walking around these walls
I thought by now they’d fall. But You have never failed me yet
Tammy: Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won. For You have never failed me yet
Chorus: Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands, This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
(Randy) Never failed me yet
Verse: I know the night won’t last, Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again, God, You are still enough
Keeping me in Your love, My heart will sing Your praise again (Chorus 2x)
Bridge I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ll see You do it again OOHH (pause) (Chorus 2x)
Outro: Oh, You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and
gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took
the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from
now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in God’s kingdom.”
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
MATTHEW 26:26-30
Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was
come that he should depart out of this world unto God, having loved his
own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. JOHN 13:1
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you; The Lord
Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, And when he had given
thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in
remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it,
in remembrance of Me.” 1 CORINTHIANS 11:23-25
