Call to Worship: Psalm 4
Hymn "Alleluia! Alleluia!"
Verse 1
Alleluia alleluia
Hearts to heav'n and voices raise
Sing to God a hymn of gladness
Sing to God a hymn of praise
He who on the cross as savior
For the world's salvation bled
Jesus Christ the King of Glory
Now is risen from the dead
Christ is risen
Verse 2
Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born;
Glorious life, and life immortal,
On this resurrection morn.
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By His mighty enterprise;
We with Him to life eternal
By His resurrection rise.

Worship Song, "Lord Reign In Me"
Verse 1
Over all the earth You reign on high
Every mountain stream every sunset sky
But my one request Lord my only aim
Is that You'd reign in me again
Chorus
Lord reign in me reign in Your pow'r
Over all my dreams in my darkest hour
You are the Lord of all I am
So won't You reign in me again
Verse 2
Over every thought over every word
May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord
'Cause You mean more to me
Than any earthly thing
So won't You reign in me again

Benediction
April Benevolence - Mission to Chinese Seamen
HIstory
“Mr. Alfred Piranian, a Philadelphia ship chandler, expressed his concern for the spiritual welfare of Chinese crews to Mr. Yun Yong, a medical artist at Temple University; and in February 1966 the Mission to Chinese Seamen was born.”
“In 1969 Rev. Maynard Lu came from Taiwan to extend the Mission’s ministry to Baltimore, Md. and in April 1970 Rev. Yun-Kai Yu began a follow-up program in Taiwan, and a ministry to the navigation schools.”
“In 1992, Rev. Steven Chuang joined the Mission as full-time Director of Evangelism for the Mission through 1995.”
“Starting October 1998 Mr. Byeong Lee joined the Mission as part-time Missionary.”
“URGENT! Because we were unable to hold our annual banquet this year, the mission is short of much needed funds. Although Rev. Lee is currently unable to go onboard the ships, he is continuing his ministry and the MCS would greatly appreciate any donations.”
