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:
- CORNERSTONE
My hope is built on nothing less… Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus name
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong In the Savior’s love
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all
When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong, In the Savior’s love,
Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all, He is Lord, Lord of all
Christ Alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong Happy Mother’s Day In the Savior’s love, through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

3. BROKEN VESSELS
Empty handed, But not forsaken. I’ve been set free, I’ve been set free
Chorus:Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a one like me, I once was lost
But now I’m found, Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see you now, Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying yourself down, Raising up the broken to life (pause)
Verse: You take our failure. you take our weakness,
You set your treasure, in jars of clay
So take this heart, Lord, I’ll be your vessel, the world to see, your life in me
(Repeat Chorus (3x) Acapella on last
And seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. MATTHEW 5:1-4
All praise to the God of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! God of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! God comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, God brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-5
