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..
I AM A FRIEND OF GOD
Verse: Who am I that you are mindful of me
That you hear me when I call
Is it true that you are thinking of me
How you love me, it’s amazing

WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR
Wonderful, merciful Savior, Precious Redeemer and Friend
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
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:
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do
not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your
father through the gospel. Therefore I urge you to imitate
me. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son
whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind
you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with
what I teach everywhere in every church.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:15-17
