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..
POWER OF YOUR LOVE
Lord I come to You, let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace, That I found in You
Lord I’ve come to know the weakness I see in me
Will be stripped away by the power of Your love
Chorus: Hold me close, let Your love surround me Bring me near, draw me to Your side As I wait, I’ll rise up like the eagles And I will soar with You, Your spirit leads me on Through the power of Your love
Lord unveil my eyes, let me see You face to face
The Knowledge of Your love As You live in me
Lord renew my mind as Your will unfolds in my life
In living everyday By the power of Your love (chorus)
Tag: And I will soar with You, Your spirit leads me on
Through the power of Your love
And I will soar with You. Your spirit leads me on
Through the power of Your love (Chorus A cap pel la)
MORE OF YOU JESUS
I’ve touched the hem of your garment
And I have felt the leading of Your hand
But today my eyes look much higher
To see the face of the great I Am. (REPEAT)
More of You, Jesus, More of Your face
More of Your glory in this place. (REPEAT)
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the
flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of
Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard
to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for
righteousness based on the law, faultless. But whatever were gains
to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more,
I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him,
not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,
but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that
comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes,
to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his
sufferings, becoming like him in his death, Not that I have already
obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press
on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken
hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
