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
YOU SAY
Verse: I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know
Chorus: You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And You say I am held when I am falling short And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours And I believe, oh I believe. What You say of me. I believe
Verse: The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, o-ooh (chorus)
Verse: Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You’ll have every victory, o-ooh (Chorus)
Oh I believe. Yes I believe. What You say of me. Oh I believe
GOD IS HERE
Verse 1 There is a sweet anointing in this sanctuary There is a stillness in the atmosphere Come and lay down the burdens you have carried For in this sanctuary God is here (repeat 2x)
Chorus God is here, God is here To break the yoke and lift the heavy burden God is here, God is here To heal the hopeless heart and bless the broken Come and lay down the burdens you have carried For in this sanctuary God is here (repeat chorus)
Acappella Come and lay down the burdens you have carried For in this sanctuary God is here
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to God,
and God will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3:5-6
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to
the region of Tyre and Sidon. Canaanite woman from that vicinity
came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me!
My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” Jesus did
not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him,
“Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered,
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and
knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not
right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall
from their master’s table.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you
have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was
healed at that moment. MATTHEW 15:21-28
Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he
and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard
about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is
out of his mind.” Then Jesus mother and brothers arrived. Standing
outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting
around him and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are
outside looking for you. “
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” He asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said,
“Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is
my brother and sister and mother.” MARK 3:20-21, 31-35
