Order of Service
Prelude
Lighting of the Christ Candle
Gathering Hymn: “Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing”
1. Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, the
glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace!
2. The name of Jesus charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease; ‘tis
music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life and health and peace.
3. He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his
blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me.
4. To God all glory, praise and love be now and ever given by saints
below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven.

Prayer of Approach & The Lord’s Prayer – Rev. Allan Brouwer
Lords’ Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not in temptation, but
deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.
Responsive Reading: Psalm 103 – Kim Harrison
Praise: “Living Hope”
1. How great the chasm that lay between us.
How high the mountain I could not climb.
In desperation, I turned to heaven and spoke Your name into the night.
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness tore through the
shadows of my soul.
The work is finished, the end is written. Jesus Christ, my living hope.
2. Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory to wear my sin and bear
my shame.
The cross has spoken; I am forgiven the King of kings calls me His
own.
Beautiful Saviour, I’m Yours forever. Jesus Christ, my living hope.
Chorus
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free!
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me!
You have broken ev’ry chain.
There’s salvation in Your name. Jesus Christ, my living hope.
3. Then came the morning that sealed the promise, Your buried body began to breathe.
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion declared the grave has no claim
on me.
Then came the morning that sealed the promise, Your buried body
began to breathe.
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion declared the grave has no claim
on me. Jesus, yours is the victory.
Chorus 2X
Time with the Children – Rev. Allan Brouwer
Scripture: Acts 15: 1-21 - Kathy Smit
Hymn: “There is an everlasting kindness”
1. There is an everlasting kindness you lavished on us, when the
radiance of heaven came to rescue the lost. You called the sheep
without a shepherd to leave their distress for Your streams of
forgiveness and the shade of your rest.
3 | P a g e
2. And with compassion for the hurting You reached out Your hand as
the lame ran to meet You and the dead breathed again.
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow and shared in our tears;
heard the sigh of the weary, let the children draw near.
Chorus
What boundless love, what fathomless grace You have shown us, O God of compassion. Each day we live an offering of praise, as we show to the world Your compassion.
3. We stood beneath the cross of Calv’ry and gazed on Your face at the
thorns of oppression and the wounds of disgrace; for surely You have
borne our suff’ring and carried our grief, as You pardoned the scoffer
and showed grace to the thief.
Chorus
4. How beautiful the feet that carry this Gospel of peace to the fields of
injustice and the valleys of need. To be a voice of hope and healing,
to answer the cries of the hungry and helpless with the mercy of
Christ.
Chorus

Closing Hymn: “Christ Our Hope in Life and Death”
1. What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence? That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand? What comes, apart from His
command? And what will keep us to the end? The love of Christ, in
which we stand.
Chorus
O sing hallelujah ! Our hope springs eternal; O sing hallelujah! Now and
ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death.
2. What truth can calm the troubled soul? God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known? In our great Redeemer’s
blood. Who holds our faith when fears arise? Who stands above the
stormy trial? Who sends the waves that bring us nigh unto the shore,
the rock of Christ?
Chorus
3. Unto the grave, what shall we sing? “Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring? Everlasting life with Him. There
we will rise to meet the Lord, then sin and death will be destroyed,
and we will feast in endless joy, when Christ is ours forevermore.
Chorus
O sing hallelujah ! Our hope springs eternal; O sing hallelujah! Now and
ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death. Now and ever we
confess Christ our hope in life and death.
Benediction – Rev. Allan Brouwer
“Benediction”
1. May the Lord bless you and may He keep you and make His face to
shine upon and when we part ways may you know His grace may
hope everlasting keep you strong.
2. To God be the glory forever and ever, to God be the praise of all men.
To God be the glory forever and ever, to God be the glory. Amen
To God be the glory forever and ever, to God be the praise of
all men. To God be the glory forever and ever, to God be the
glory. Amen

Scripture for the week
All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the
Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He
comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before
you know it, he 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. 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 The Message.
