Call to Worship - Psalm 81:1-10
Hymn of Praise -”Shout to the Lord”
Verse
My Jesus my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Chorus
Shout to the Lord
All the earth let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy
At the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You

Out in the highways and byways of life
Many are weary and sad
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife
Making the sorrowing glad

Make me a blessing make me a blessing
Out of my life may Jesus shine
Make me a blessing O Savior I pray
Make me a blessing to someone today

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love
Tell of His pow'r to forgive
Others will trust Him if only you prove
True ev’ry moment you live

Give as 'twas given to you in your need
Love as the Master loved you
Be to the helpless a helper indeed
Unto your mission be true

JUNE BENEVOLENCE - ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” - Matthew 5:14-15
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…Let it shine…Let it shine…”
If Jesus had a playlist of music, surely this familiar hymn would be among the Top Five. Jesus teaches that faith calls for action. Sharing our light, as the diverse and colorful expression of Gold’s love here on earth, leads to making blankets, staffing food pantries, cooking meals, building houses and schools, signing petitions for worth causes, and protesting injustices. A simple song with a simple message-our light is on a light stand, for all to see-shine and share. On any give day, light is shining because we are there through our gifts to OGHS. Your contributions make a difference. Your dollars count. Give generously at www.abc-oghs.org or offering envelopes are on the table in the hallway.
CHURCH MEETING JUNE 2, 2024
CBC Ide is growing and want’s to expand their pastoral staff! Ronnie has asked Pastor Kaiser Silva Vasconcelos to come help him take care of their growing congregation. They are offering him a salary of $33,800 per year.
As part of this process Pastor Kaiser is applying for a religious worker visa and as part of that work need to have a documented call for ministry. As CBC Ide is operating as part of Central Baptist Church the official call needs to come from our church body. All funds for his salary will come from Ide’s account, so the net financial cost to Central Baptist is zero, but the congregation gains a new member of the ministry team.
The church will be holding a meeting after worship on June 2 to discuss and vote on this proposal.
SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY
