Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing.
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world
that we might be holy and blameless before God.
—from Ephesians 1:3-4
Worship Song, “Give You Glory”
Verse 1
We have raised a thousand voices
Just to lift Your holy name
And we will raise thousands more to sing
Of Your beauty in this place
Oh none can even fathom
No not one define Your worth
As we marvel in Your presence
To the ends of the earth
Chorus 1
We give You glory
Lifting up our hands and singing holy
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart Lord
Touch Your heart
Chorus 2
Glory
Lifting up our voice and singing holy
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart Lord
Touch Your heart
Verse 2
As we fall down before You
With our willing hearts we seek
In the greatness of Your glory
It's so hard to even speak
There is nothing we can offer
No nothing can repay
So we give You all our praises
And lift our voices to sing
Bridge
Our hope is drenched in You
Our faith has been renewed
We trust in Your ev'ry word
Nothing else can even measure up to You
Chorus 3
Glory
Singing holy
We're singing worthy
We want to touch Your heart Lord
Touch Your heart

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun

Benediction
June Benevolence - One Great Hour Of Sharing
Our mission focus for June is the American Baptist Church One Great Hour of Sharing. Funds collected this year will be used to provide COVID relief in the US and Puerto Rico and internationally in the communities served by International Ministries.
The New Life Center foundation in Thailand where Kit Ripley serves is highlighted in this year’s promotional materials. For over 30 years the NLCF has invested in the lives of over 1000 ethnic minority girls at risk of trafficking, forced labor, and sexual abuse.
“Specifically, donations to ABHMS’ OGHS appeal will assist with immediate needs, such as unemployment or loss of income, housing, hunger and access to healthcare. Donations will also fund programs supporting the well-being and mental health of faith leaders, congregations and communities. In the current context of social distancing, as churches seek to connect with members through online connections, the need for enhanced technology has emerged in many churches. ABHMS also seeks to support American Baptist regions, denominationally related colleges, universities and seminaries along with community ministries (Neighborhood Action Programs and other service organizations) that are serving families in marginalized settings. There are also emerging needs that are not known presently.
Wellness Hour
Drop in for a time of connection, prayer, and an occasional devotion. Dates and time can be found on the website calendar.
