“Putting on the Full Armor of God” Service of Baptism

Call to Worship “Sing Sing Sing”

By Chris Tomlin | Daniel Carson | Jesse Reeves | Matt Gilder | Travis Nunn

Chorus 1: (We will) sing sing sing, And make music with the heavens

We will sing sing sing, Grateful that You hear us

When we shout Your praise, Lift high the name of Jesus

Verse 1: What's not to love about You, Heaven and earth adore You

Kings and kingdoms bow down, Son of God You are the One

You are the One we're living for

Verse 2: You are the love that frees us, You are the light that leads us

Like a fire burning, Son of God You are the One

You are the One we're living for Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing Used by permission CCLI License No. 796382

“I Wonder” By Leeland Mooring

Verse 1: At the stars in the night I wonder

At Your lightning in the sky I shudder

Your glory is a blanket, That covers ev'ry living thing

Pre-Chorus: And it feels like, There's not enough praise inside of me

With all these words all my heart can sing is holy, You are holy

Chorus: Jesus Christ You bled Your love, Laid down Yourself and gave me life

In naked shame You hung and You were lifted high, Here I lay in awe and wonder

I am afraid for no one's ever, Sacrificed and loved me this way

So on my face I fall under Your heavy grace, Here I lay in awe and wonder

Oh, oh and I wonder

Verse 2: I'm in awe at the majesty of who You are

Your love is a seal burnt inside my heart

All of the day I want to be where You are, Holy Father (Pre Chorus, Chorus)

Oh, oh and I wonder (Chorus) Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing Used by permission CCLI #796382

Veterans’ Sunday 2015

Veterans Day honors ALL American veterans, both living

and dead. This day is intended to thank veterans for

dedicated and loyal service to their country. November 11 of

each year is the day that we ensure veterans know that we

deeply appreciate the sacrifices they have made in their lives

to keep our country free. So we invite you on Sunday,

November 8th to bring in a picture or photograph of a

veteran, living or deceased that you would like to remember

or honor this day. We would also invite you to bring in the same for those that are

currently serving so that we can honor and pray for them as well. There will be tables in

the front of the Sanctuary where you may place your pictures.

Hearts Made Whole Support Group The Hearts Made Whole Support group is for family

members and caregivers of loved ones living with

mental illness. This group provides prayerful,
