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
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:
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they
were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
MATTHEW 9:36
“Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you,
open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even
now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal
life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the
saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. I sent you to reap what
you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you
have reaped the benefits of their labor.” JOHN 4:35-38
