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..
FREE FOR ALL
Rivers rich in mercy beckon, Everyone who thirsts is welcome
All who hunger freely come, Bread of life for everyone
Chorus Free for all, Free for all, Over every limitation, Free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all. Free for all
(pause) We’re proclaiming freedom to the nations,
Stand and see your full salvation
Rivers in the desert, clouds are forming
Celebrate this free out-pouring (chorus)
Free for all, Free for all, Over every limitation, Free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all (repeat line)
Holy Spirit rise within us, Bring your freedom, free for all (repeat line)
Free for all… (Who the Son set free, is free indeed) (repeat ( ) 3x
POWER OF YOUR LOVE
Lord I come to You, let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace, That I found in You
Lord I’ve come to know the weakness I see in me
Will be stripped away by the power of Your love
Chorus: Hold me close, let Your love surround me
Bring me near, draw me to Your side
As I wait, I’ll rise up like the eagles
And I will soar with You,
Your spirit leads me on
Through the power of Your love
Lord unveil my eyes, let me see You face to face
The Knowledge of Your love As You live in me
Lord renew my mind as Your will unfolds in my life
In living everyday By the power of Your love (chorus)
Tag: And I will soar with You, Your spirit leads me on
Through the power of Your love
And I will soar with You. Your spirit leads me on
Through the power of Your love (Chorus A cap pel la)
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:
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel
to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a
man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!
The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and
wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to
her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will
conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord
God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over
Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will
be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have
a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is
in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.”
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be
fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. LUKE 1:26-38
The kingdom of Heaven is like a yeast that a woman took and mixed
into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.
MATTHEW 13:33
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
ROMANS 15:13
