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)
I AM NOT ALONE
Verse1 When I walk through deep waters, I know that You will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow, I will not fear
Chorus I am not alone. I am not alone
You will go before me, You will never leave me
I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, You will never leave me
Verse2 In the midst of deep sorrow, I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me, I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle, Oh, and I will not fear (Chorus)
VampYou amaze me, Redeem me, You call me as Your own (repeat 3x)
You’re my strength, You’re my defender, You’re my refuge in the storm
Through these trials, You’ve always been faithful, You bring healing to my soul
Repeat chorus 3x
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
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still proclaim your
wonderful works. So now that I’m old, and my hair is gray, don’t
abandon me, God, till I have proclaimed your strength to the next
generation, your power to all who will come, your righteousness
too, God, which reaches to the heights. God, you have done great
things; who is there like you? You have made me see much trouble
and hardship, but you will revive me again and bring me up from the
depths of the earth. You will increase my honor; turn and comfort me.
PSALMS 71:17-21
I am convinced and sure of this very thing. that God who began a
good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of
Christ Jesus. PHILLIPPIANS 1:6
