Prelude “Worthy Art Thou, Lord Divine” Anon.Janet Kessler

WE WORSHIP THROUGH PREPARATIONWelcome & Announcements Meet and Greet

WE WORSHIP THROUGH PRAISE“The Bond of Love, stz.2”Let us sing now, ev’ry one;Let us feel His love begun.

Let us join our hands that the world will knowWe are one in the bond of love.

#46 “All Things Bright and Beautiful” Spohr

All things bright and beautiful, all things great and small,All things wise and wonderful; our Father made them all.Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings;He made their glowing colors, he made their tiny wings.

Cold wind in the winter, pleasant summer sun,Ripe fruits in the garden; he made them every one.

He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tellHow good is God our Father who doeth all things well.

#53 “In His Time” Ball

In His time, (in His time), in His time (in His time);He makes all things beautiful in His time (in His time).

Lord, please show me every day as you’re teaching me your way,That you do just what you say in your time (in Your time).

In Your time (in Your time), in Your time (in Your time);You make all things beautiful in Your time (in Your time).Lord, my life to You I bring; may each song I have to sing

Be to You a lovely thing in Your time (in Your time).

WE WORSHIP THROUGH PROCLAMATION

Anthem “Heal Our Land”

If my people will humble themselves, humble themselves and pray;If they seek my face and humble themselves, and turn from their wicked

ways.I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin.  I will hear from heaven, and heal their land.

Lord, heal our land; Father, heal our land.  Hear our cry and turn our nation back to You.

Lord, heal our land; hear us O Lord, and heal our land.  Forgive our sin and heal our broken land.

Lord, we bow our knee, we humble ourselves, humble ourselves and pray;Lord, we seek Your face, we humble ourselves, and turn from our wicked

ways.Father, in Your mercy, forgive our sin.

Father in Your mercy, come heal our land.

O beautiful for men of faith who founded this great land; proclaimed for us,“In God we trust,” and held to God’s strong hand.  America! America!

God shed His grace on thee till lives confess

His righteousness from sea to shining sea.

Message: “What’s the Good Word?”

The Hymn of the Month for September is Hymn #8 – “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”. The tune and text are attributed to none other than the great protestant reformer Martin Luther.  Luther and the subsequent Lutheran church, more or less invented the “hymn” as we know it today.  In Luther’s time, sacred music, at least the parts sung by the congregation, was very scripted, limited and all in Latin.  The Lutheran invention of the “hymn” with several stanzas gave the Lutheran church an opportunity to stress their theological beliefs as well as to worship God together.   The hymn was meant to be a song sung in the homes and at work as well as in the church.    This is one of the greatest hymns of the Christian faith. 

Open invitation – young and not-so young! This is an invitation for all who like music to take part in the music ministry at GABC.  

This Wednesday, our children’s music programs gear up again for the year.   At 6:20 p.m., the Children’s Chime Choir will rehearse.  Any children in grades 2-5 are welcome to join us.   Then at 6:30 p.m., the Children’s Choir will rehearse.     

If you are not quite young enough to join the Children’s Choir, we have a choir for you!   The Sanctuary Choir rehearses at 7:30 p.m. each Wednesday.  Please join us!  All we require is a love for music – the rest you can learn.

Youth Excel will begin next Wednesday night, September 17, with a focus on missions.  We will talk about potential mission trips as well as local mission projects.  We will meet in the Youth Room directly following dinner.  Dinner will begin at 5:45, followed by our Youth Meeting at 6:30.

Church Family Night Dinner and Program will be on Wednesday, September 17 at 5:45 p.m. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. The topic for the program will be “God at Work in Africa and through our Family” led by Marvin Harris. Cost of supper is $5/pp, $1.50 per child and a maximum of $15 per family. Please join us for good food and fellowship!
