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..
BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE

We remember every blessing, That You’ve poured out so freely from above
Lifting gratitude praises for compassion so amazing
Lord, we’ve come to give You thanks for all You’ve done

My treasure, my priority, who can compare to You.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
Job continued his discourse: “How I long for the months gone
by, for the days when God watched over me, when his lamp
shone on my head and by his light I walked through darkness!
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate
friendship blessed my house,” JOB 29:1-4
Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this
that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of
things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to
know. You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’ My ears had heard of you but now
my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in
dust and ashes.” JOB:42:1-6
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me?” MATTHEW 27:46
