Responsive Scripture Reading

Peace with God Romans 5:1-11 MIN: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: CONG: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. MIN: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: CONG: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. MIN: For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. CONG: For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perad-venture for a good man some would even dare to die. MIN: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. CONG: Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. MIN: For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. ALL TOGETHER: And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Congregational Song Lift Every Voice And Sing

1.

Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won.

2. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,

Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,

Come to the place for which our fathers died We have come over a way that with tears have been

watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of

the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last

Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3.

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;

Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.

Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.

Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land.

A COMMITMENT PRAYER

“Father, I know you love me and want what's best for me. I recognize that all I have, or will ever have, comes from you. I am more interested in pleasing you than in having more possessions. I want you to have first place in my life and I am willing to begin tithing as you have commanded. Out of gratitude for all you've done for me, and in expectation that you will continue to provide for me, I commit myself to returning at least the first 10% of all I earn back to you. I want to begin investing for eternity. Help me to remain faithful to this commitment. In Jesus' name, Amen.
