Call to Worship - Psalm 19
Hymn of Praise -“Indescribable”
Verse 1
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of Fall to the fragrance of Spring
Ev'ry creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Chorus 1
Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Verse 2
Who has told ev'ry lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Interlude
You are amazing God
Chorus 2
Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God
Incomparable unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing God
Ending
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing God
(REPEAT)
You see the depths of our hearts
And You love us the same
You are amazing God

Hymn of Invitation - #581 “‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus”
Verse 1
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know thus saith the Lord
Chorus
Jesus Jesus how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more
Verse 2
O how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing cleansing flood
Verse 3
Yes 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest and joy and peace
Verse 4
I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee
Precious Jesus Savior Friend
And I know that Thou art with me
Wilt be with me to the end

ONE SHOT DAY 4
Choose Your Adventure!
Central Baptist continues to Raise the Roof! This afternoon of adventure will take players on journeys to the far future, a New England University, and even a Super Hero Reality TV show.
These games will lean into the “spooky” season, so we’re rating it PG-13.

PHSFEE CASINO NIGHT
The Palmyra High School Foundation for Educational Excellence (PHSFEE) is a grass-roots non-profit dedicated to supporting Palmyra High School. To date the organization has raised over $100,00 for the school and opened up new avenues of learning for the students attending it, and they are looking to raise the bar even higher.
On October 14th, 6:30-11:00 PM PHSFEE will be hosing a Casino Night at Sacred Heart Gym with the goal of raising $50,000 for a new program called PATHWAYS. This program allows high school student take courses for simultaneous high school and college credit. The catch is there is a $50 per credit cost for registering. PHSFEE’s goal is to raise enough money that every Palmyra High School student who wished to take a PATHWAY call can do so at no cost to them, a worthy goal!
Tickets cost $65 per person. For more information or to purchase tickets use the button below to contact PHSFEE.
