Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray. Upon the mountain when my God spoke, out of God’s mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me it looked so fine. I asked the Lord if all was mine? ‘Ol Jordan river, chilly and cold, it chills the body, but not the soul.
There ain’t but one train that’s on this track. It runs to heaven and runs right back. Ev’ry time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.

*Profession of Faith The Apostle’s Creed Elder Tom Earp I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Ms. Craven RESPONDING TO GOD’S SAVING WORD Call to Present Our Offerings to the Lord Mr. Alex Ebiri Prayer of Dedication Mr. Kyle Ebiri Offertory Beautiful City arr. Huff Youth Choir
Kelly McFadden, Cate Marcelli, Keller Bean, Patrick Bean, Lauren McGrath, soloists
Out of the ruins and rubble, out of the smoke, out of our night of struggle, can we see a ray of hope? One pale thin ray, reaching for the day.
We can build a beautiful city, yes, we can, yes, we can. We can build a beautiful city, not a city of angels, but we can build a city of man.
We may not reach the ending, but we can start slowly but truly mending, brick by brick, heart by heart. Now, maybe now, we start learning how.
When your trust is all but shattered, when your faith is all but killed, you can give up, bitter and battered, or you can slowly start to build a beautiful city,
yes, we can, yes, we can. We can build a beautiful city, not a city of angels, but finally a city of man.

These are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the Lord. And these are the days of Your servant, Moses, righteousness being restored. And though these are days of great trials, of famine and darkness and sword, Still we are the voice in the desert crying, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” [Refrain] Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet call. So lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee, and out of Zion's hill salvation comes. And these are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming as flesh. And these are the days of Your servant David, rebuilding a temple of praise. And these are the days of the harvest, the fields are as white in Your world. And we are the laborers in Your vineyard, declaring the Word of the Lord. [Refrain] There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah. There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah, There is no god like Jehovah. [Refrain] [Refrain]

From Children’s Ministries: It is that time of year again that we give the teachers of our terrific Sunday School a much needed break. Starting May 27, and continuing until September 9, we would like just one volunteer to help with our Sunday School each week. We do and will have another person in the classroom each week so there will be two covering each week. Please think about it. Our teachers have worked hard all year and deserve some time off. Please sign up during Coffee Hour. The Children’s Ministries Committee thanks you in advance.
Attention Graduates! Send us your graduation photo and future plans! Let your Trinity family celebrate your accomplishments with you. Please drop them off or mail them to the church office no later than June 15. When possible, please email the information to Alysia Badskey at [email protected].
