Mike Sykes *Hymn of Praise No.310 He Lives *Affirmation of Faith No.881 The Apostles’ Creed Rev. Allison Farrah *Gloria Patri No. 70 Glory Be to the Father
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Amen Call to Prayer No. 2193 (TFWS) Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying Prayer of Confession Rev. Farrah Patient Lord, you wait for us to understand. You wait for us to remove the blinders of prejudice, fear, unbelief, confusion. You have offered to us the greatest miracle of all time, the resurrection of Your Son Jesus Christ. We sang and celebrated last Sunday, but a week has passed and we have slid back into our old ways of perceiving your presence and love. Shake us up, Lord! Shake us up and cause us to look with new eyes on our Savior, who came that we might have life, abundantly serving all who are in need. Forgive our stubbornness and our complacency. Reach out to us so that we may reach out with healing love to others, for we pray this in Jesus’ Name. AMEN. Words of Assurance Prayer Requests Chorus No. 2025 (TFWS) As the Deer
As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.
You alone are my strength, my shield; to you alone my spirit yield. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you.

Ponder this…
When we are in doubt, God will never fail to give light
when we have no other plan than to please him and to act in love for him.

The indisputable Easter fact...is that Jesus was a more potent factor in Jerusalem
in the weeks and months after His death on Calvary than when He rode into the city amid the crowds
or sat with His disciples in the Upper Room.

It is faith to believe that which you do not yet see; and the reward of faith is to see that which you believe.
Augustine

Every time we say, "I believe in the Holy Spirit," we mean that we believe there is a living God
able and willing to enter human personality and change it.
