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.

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

I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..

Oh Lord You’ve searched me, You know my way. Even when I fail You,
I know You love me… Your holy presence, Surrounding me,
In every season, I know You love me. I know You love me…
CHORUS: At the cross I bow my knee, where Your blood was shed for me
There’s no greater love than this. You have overcome the grave,
Your glory fills the highest place, What can separate me now…
You go before me, You shield my way. Your hand upholds me, I know You love me…

And when the earth fades, Falls from my eyes, and You stand before me.

I’ve been changed, I’ve been changed
I have waited for this moment to come,
And I won’t let it pass me by
CHORUS I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me
All my shame, guilt, sins, forgiven,
No more chains, fear, my past is over
REPEAT BRIDGE THEN CHORUS (4X)
I won’t go back, can’t go back to the way it used to be
Before your presence came and changed me

Before your presence came and changed me
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
