We Are The ChurchAmbassador Hymnal #349

Refrain:

I am the church! You are the church! We are the church together!All who follow Jesus, all around the world! Yes, we’re the church together.

The church is not a building,the church is not a steeple,the church is not a resting place, the church is a people!

Refrain:


We’re many kinds of people, with many kinds of faces, all colors and all ages, too, from all times and places.

Refrain:


And when the people gather there’s singing and there’s praying, there’s laughing and there’s crying, sometimes, all of it saying:

At Pentecost some people received the Holy Spirit and told the Good News thru the world to all who would hear it.

Confession of SinAmbassador Hymnal Pg. 49 #8

Almighty God and Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are loving and gracious to forgive our sins that we bring before You today. We have sinned against You in our thought, words, and our daily actions.


In business, and in our daily life we have fallen short of Your glory and have not been the kind of people You want us to be. Forgive us and cleanse us from all our sin. Thank You that Jesus has paid the price for our forgiveness and we now lay our lives before You.


Bring us to the place that we please You both in body and soul. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.

Genesis 29:31-30:24Psalm 121

Meaning to 2nd Article of Apostles’ CreedAmbassador Hymnal Pg. 98

I believe that Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true Man, born of the virgin Mary, is my Lord; Who has redeemed me, a lost and condemned creature, bought me and freed me from all sins, from death, and from the power of the devil; ….


…not with silver and gold, but with His holy and precious blood, and with His innocent sufferings and death; in order that I might be His own, live under Him in His kingdom, and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence and blessedness; ….


… even as His is risen from the dead, and lives and reigns to all eternity. This is most certainly true.

Be Thou My VisionAmbassador Hymnal #607

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art; Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always; Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

A Checkered PAST

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is foundHe is my Light, my strength, my song.This Cornerstone, this solid groundFirm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love! What depths of peace,When fears are stilled, when strifings cease.My Comforter, my all in all, Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,Fullness of God in helpless Babe.This gift of love and righteousnessScorned by the ones He came to save.

‘til on that cross as Jesus diedThe wrath of God was satisfied,For every sin on Him was laid. Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,Light of the world by darkness slain.Then bursting forth in glorious day,Up from the grave He rose again.

And as He stands in victory,Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.For I am His, and He is mine,Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death:This is the pow’r of Christ in me.From life’s first cry to final breath,Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of manCan ever pluck my from His hand‘til He returns, nor cause me home;Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

The LORD’s PrayerOur 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,

The LORD’s Prayer

And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.

AMEN

AMEN

Amen

Have a WONDERFUL

day!!!
