Call to Worship,
A text especially mindful of children
Arise, shine, for your light has come!
The glory of the Lord has risen upon us.
Let us praise the Lord together.
The sun shall no longer be our light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on us,
for the Lord will be our light,
and our God will be our glory.
The Lord will be our everlasting light,
and our days of sorrow will end.
Come, let us sing to our light and salvation!
—based on Isaiah 60
Worship Song, “Shine, Jesus, Shine”
Chorus
Shine Jesus shine
Fill this land
With the Father's glory
Blaze Spirit blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow river flow
Flood the nations
With grace and mercy
Send forth Your word Lord
And let there be light
Verse 1
Lord the light of Your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness shining
Jesus Light of the world shine upon us
Set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me shine on me
Verse 2
Lord I come to Your awesome presence
From the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood I may enter Your brightness
Search me try me consume all my darkness
Shine on me shine on me
Verse 3
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness
So our faces display Your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story
Shine on me shine on me

VERSE 1
Take my life and let it be

Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise

Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my King
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee

Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Ev’ry pow’r as Thou shalt choose
VERSE 5
Take my love my Lord I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
Ever only all for Thee

Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own
It shall be Thy royal throne

Code Blue Shelter Overnight Staffing
On behalf of Christian Caring Center:
We want to request your assistance regarding the Code Blue Shelters. Like most shelters across the state, we are experiencing a severe shortage of overnight staff. There are two overnight staff on each shift. The staff will oversee up to 14 adult male and female guests when the County declares Code Blue. A Code Blue is announced when the temperature drops to 32 degrees or colder. We serve guests a prepared dinner, supervise them as they watch movies, put together puzzles, or read. You may assist them as needed with simple tasks. There are COVID protocols in place that need to be also followed. Please see the attached job description for more details. This would be a paid internship of $50/ night. If interested, please email, and request an application at christiancaringcenter@yahoo.com
Thank you for your consideration,
Madelyn Sutton
