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..
OVERWHELMED
I see the work of Your Hands, Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance
Oh God, All that You are is so overwhelming,
I hear the sound of Your voice,
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise,
Oh God, All that You are is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You, Captivated by Your beauty
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
God, I run into Your arms, Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You (PAUSE)
I know the power of Your Cross,
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God
And all that You’ve done is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
And God I run into Your arms. Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You (PAUSE)
You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful,
Oh God, there is no one more Beautiful
You are Beautiful, God you are the most Beautiful
You are Wonderful, You are Wonderful,
Oh God, there is no one more Wonderful
You are Wonderful, God You are the most Wonderful
You are Glorious, You are Glorious,
Oh God, there is no one more Glorious
You are Glorious, God you are the most Glorious
I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
And God I run into Your arms, Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You,
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
There is no one more Beautiful, God you are the most beautiful.
Acapella: I delight myself in You, In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
GIVE THANKS
Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One.
Give thanks because God’s given, Jesus Christ, the Son.
Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy One.

And now let the weak say, “I am strong” Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
And now let the weak say, “I am strong” Let the poor say, “I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us”
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have
come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
JOHN 10:10
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and
slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so
that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted
that the Lord is good. 1 PETER 2:1-3
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they
were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
MATTHEW 9:36
Write this to Philadelphia, to the Angel of the church. The Holy, the
True—David’s key in his hand, opening doors no one can lock, locking
doors no one can open—speaks: “I see what you’ve done. Now see
what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam
shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you
had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough.
And watch as I take those who call themselves true believers but are
nothing of the kind, pretenders whose true membership is in the club
of Satan—watch as I strip off their pretensions and they’re forced to
acknowledge it’s you that I’ve loved.” REVELATIONS 3:7-9
