Welcome to our Services!

Welcome to our services this morning.

We are glad you have decided to join us in worship to our Lord this morning. If you are visiting with us, we would love to have a record of your visit and we ask that you take just a little time to fill out a visitor’s card and drop it into the offering plate as it passes by, or give it to one of our greeters as you leave. If you have any questions concerning our church or our services, please feel free to ask one of our greeters or our staff. We would love to visit with you.

If you have questions concerning salvation, baptism, or church membership, we offer a time at the end of our services for you to come forward to speak with our pastor or you can grab one of our staff and we will take the time to talk with you about these very important things. You can always reach out to us by phone, text or email. Our contact information is this bulletin.

This morning we will have a special service by request of some parents. We are having a service dedicated to parents and their children. Many may not have seen or been a part of a service like this, so let me explain what this service is and what it is not. First it is not a service that has anything to do with the salvation of these little ones that are here this morning. Salvation is by grace through faith and that comes when these babies are old enough to understand salvation and ask Jesus to save them. This service is all about the parents making a choice to raise and nurture their kids in the knowledge of Jesus and in a godly home that surrounds these kids with Jesus.

This service is more about the commitments of the parents to love Jesus and teach their kids about Jesus, than anything else. But church you too have a part in this special service. You need to come along side of these parents to help them teach and raise their kids with the love of Jesus. We are all called to go through this life together as brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Will you do your part?

Invitation 488 – Just as I am

1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.

Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,

Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, holy, holy! tho' the darkness hide Thee,

Tho' the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see.

Only Thou art holy-- there is none beside Thee,

Perfect in pow'r, in love, in purity.

4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name in earth and sky and sea.

Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

1 When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings– name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

2 Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings; every doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by. [Refrain]

3 When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings; money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven nor your home on high. [Refrain]

4 So amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged; God is over all.

Count your many blessings; angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end. [Refrain]

1 This is my Father's world,

And to my list'ning ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world,

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas -

His hand the wonders wrought.

2 This is my Father's world,

The birds their carols raise;

The morning light, the lily white

Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world,

He shines in all that's fair;

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,

He speaks to me everywhere.

3 This is my Father's world,

O let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

This is my Father's world,

The battle is not done;

Jesus, Who died, shall be satisfied,

And earth and heav'n be one.

1 I will sing of my Redeemer

And His wondrous love to me;

On the cruel cross He suffered,

From the curse to set me free.

Refrain:

Sing, O sing of my Redeemer,

With His blood He purchased me;

On the cross He sealed my pardon,

Paid the debt, and made me free.

2 I will tell the wondrous story

How my lost estate to save;

In His boundless love and mercy,

He the ransom freely gave. [Refrain]

3 I will praise my dear Redeemer,

His triumphant pow'r I'll tell,

How the victory he giveth

Over sin and death and hell. [Refrain]

4 I will sing of my Redeemer

And His heav'enly love to me;

He from death to life has bro't me,

Son of God, with Him to be. [Refrain]

1 Just as I am, without one plea,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

2 Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot,

To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

3 Just as I am, though tossed about

With many a conflict, many a doubt,

Fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

4 Just as I am - Thou wilt receive,

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve.

Because Thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Join us tonight for our evening service. The youth will be handling the service tonight, including leading the music and bringing the message. Please come support our youth.

We will observe the Lord’s Supper next Sunday evening. Please be here for this special service as we remember our Lord and the salvation that we have in Him.

We will be celebrating 124 years as an organized church on October 3rd. Praise the Lord for all of these years as a faithful church and we pray that we continue to be a faithful, serving church until the Lord returns.

We will have a singing followed by an ice cream supper during the evening service on Oct 3rd. Please mark your calendars so you will not miss this great time of singing and fellowship.
