WELCOME & INVOCATION
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..
SING AND CELEBRATE:
1. ALIVE FOREVER AMEN
Verse 1: Let the children sing a song of liberation
The God of our salvation, set us free
Death where is thy sting; The curse of sin is broken
The empty tomb stands open; Come and see
Chorus 1: He’s alive, alive, alive, Hallelujah alive
Praise and glory to the Lamb
Alive, alive, alive, hallelujah, Alive forever amen
Verse 2: Let my heart sing out for Christ the One and only
So powerful and holy, rescued me
Death won’t hurt me now, because He has redeemed me
No grave will ever keep me from my King
CHORUS 2: I’m alive, alive, alive, Hallelujah alive!
Praise and glory to the Lamb
Alive, alive, alive, hallelujah, Alive forever amen
(BRIDGE): Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy of our praise
Worthy is the One who has overcome the grave
Let the people dance, Let the people sing
Worthy is the mighty King REPEAT 3 TIMES
2. ABOVE ALL
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began.
Above all kingdom, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what you’re worth
Crucified, Laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall, And thought of me, Above all
3. WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR
Who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue our
souls from sin. O could rescue our souls from sin
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost
the way… Oh, we’ve hopelessly lost the way
You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father, Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us Falling before Your throne
Oh, we’re falling before Your throne
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
I will say to those called not my people, You are my people and they will say, You are my God. HOSEA 2:23
Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let Justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! AMOS 5:23-24
Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do you profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another? Malachi 2:10
If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him [through me] and have seen him [in me].” JOHN 14:7
