Call to Worship: Psalm 118:1-2,14-24
Hymn: #365 “Alleluia! Alleluia!”
Verse 1
Alleluia alleluia
Hearts to heaven and voices raise
Sing to God a hymn of gladness
Sing to God a hymn of praise
He who on the cross a victim
For the world's salvation bled
Jesus Christ the King of Glory
Now is risen from the dead
Verse 2
Christ is risen Christ the first fruits
Of the holy harvest field
Which will all its full abundance
At His second coming yield
Then the golden ears of harvest
Will their heads before Him wave
Ripened by His glorious sunshine
From the furrows of the grave
Verse 3
Christ is risen we are risen
Shed upon us heavenly grace
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
From the brightness of Thy face
That we with our hearts in heaven
Here on earth may fruitful be
And by angel hands be gathered
And be ever Lord with Thee
Verse 4
Alleluia alleluia
Glory be to God on high
Alleluia to the Saviour
Who has gained the victory
Alleluia to the Spirit
Fount of love and sanctity
Alleluia alleluia
To the Triune Majesty

April Benevolence—Mission to Chinese Seamen
“Without the contributions of the world’s 1.5 million seafarers, international trade would “simply grind to halt,” according to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a message delivered on June 25th to mark a worldwide celebration of the International Day of the Seafarer. Mr. Ban, a South Korean, urged people everywhere to think about the courageous men and women who handle as much as 90% of the cargo transported worldwide.”
“Seafarers face many emotional, physical and spiritual dangers at sea as they go about their daily routines and MCS seeks to share the love of Christ with them when God delivers them safely to the Philadelphia area ports. Rev. Lee effectively and compassionately shares the gospel with men arriving with a wide variety of practical needs. His words of encouragement based in scriptural truth uplifts them as they return to the often lonely and dangerous life at sea.”
