Call to Worship
The Lord who calls us to worship today is the same Jesus who refused the temptation to worship the evil one. Rather than receive the glorious kingdoms of this world, he endured the shame of the cross,
and today is Lord of lords and King of kings. Now are gathered in him
all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, glory and power.
With the saints of all ages we say,
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
—based on Colossians 2:3; Revelation 5:12, NIV
Hymn of Praise -"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
Ending
Glory oh
Glory

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.”
