† Anthem Text †
† Announcements †
Arise, My Soul, Arise Arise, my soul, arise, shake off thy guilty fears: The bleeding Sacrifice in my behalf appears: Before the Throne, my Surety stands, before the Throne, my Surety stands. My name is written on His hands. My name is written on His hands. Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary, they pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me: “Forgive Him, O, forgive,” they cry. “Forgive him, O, forgive,” they cry, “nor let that ransomed sinner die, nor let that ransomed sinner die.” My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear; with confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh, and “Father, Abba, Father,” cry. Arise, my soul, arise! And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry. Arise, my soul, arise. Text: Charles Wesley Arr. Copyright 2012 Beckenhorst Press, Inc../CCLI #403620
† Missions Moment † We met Peter's family when we were informed he was in need of a scholarship. His teachers praised his work and encouraged him to further his education beyond the required 9th grade. Peter is a smart, charming and personable guy. His parents wanted him to continue too. The problem was, his dad had just been laid off work. They had funds to get him started, but were not sure about the future. In cooperation with his parents, we had funds available from a local partner to reimburse Peter for any school expenses his parents needed help with. Three years later, Peter graduated. He is rightly proud of his success and shares with us his joy. Today I am in the town where Peter now works. I am preparing to lead a Bible study in the village where he grew up. I go to the coffee shop where Peter has been employed for a couple of years now. He greets me with his signature smile and warm handshake. Peter delivers the coffee I ordered. "How much?" I ask. "Nothing, Shane. For you, nothing." And then he returns with a cake, "It is wonderful. Enjoy it." Now I have to enjoy (without tears) the success and hospitality of a precious, successful friend. The cake is delicious! - Shane McNary, field personnel serving in Slovakia
