Welcome!
Central Baptist is worshiping outdoors this Summer! Bring a beach chair or blanket and hang out on our back lawn as we share the story of Jesus.
Social distancing and masks are required. If the weather doesn’t cooperate we will move indoors, social distance, and music will be instrumental only.

Call to Worship
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me;
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.”
—Matthew 11:28-29, NIV
Hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing“
Verse 1
Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Guide me O Thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak but Thou art mighty
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand
Bread of heaven Bread of heaven
Feed me now and ever more
Feed me now and ever more

Open Thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through
Strong Deliverer strong Deliverer
Be Thou still my strength and shield
Be Thou still my strength and shield
Verse 3
When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of death and hell's destruction
Land me safe on Canaan's side
Songs and praises songs and praises
I will ever give to Thee
I will ever give to Thee

Benediction
August Benevolence - Riverview Estates
At Riverview Estates, we are committed to our mission…maintaining a living environment that meets individual needs, through a continuum of care specifically tailored through three service areas: Assisted Living, Nursing Care and Sub-Acute Rehabilitation."
"Our compassionate staff is devoted to providing quality of each patient’s care and maintaining their dignity, all the while meeting the social, emotional and spiritual needs of each resident."
"The Baptist Home of South Jersey (Riverview Estates) is a non-profit corporation, affiliated with American Baptist Churches of New Jersey. All services and accommodations are available to all persons without regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin.
The mission focus for August is Riverview Estates, “a South Jersey faith-based assisted living and skilled nursing care community based in Riverton, NJ”. COVID-19 is particularly serious for the elderly, such as the residents at Riverview. Maintaining the health and safety of the residents and staff is challenging and requires additional resources and creativity to balance the needs of the residents while keeping this highly contagious virus away.
Riverview Estates opened in 1954 and has been providing skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation services for close to 70 years. The organization has adapted to many changes over these years and is now called upon to adapt to this novel coronavirus. Your support is greatly appreciated.
