Hymn of Praise - Jesus Shall Reign”
Verse 1
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does His successive journeys run
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall rise and set no more
Verse 2
To Him shall endless prayer be made
And princes throng to crown His head
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice
Verse 3
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name
Verse 4
Let every creature rise and bring
The highest honours to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeats the loud amen
Isaac Watts | John C. Hatton

Hymn of Invitation -#415 “We Are Called To Be God’s People”
Verse 1
We are called to be God's people
Showing by our lives His grace
One in heart and one in spirit
Sign of hope for all the race
Let us show how He has changed us
And remade us as His own
Let us share our life together
As we shall around His throne
Verse 2
We are called to be God's servants
Working in His world today
Taking His own task upon us
All His sacred words obey
Let us rise then to His summons
Dedicate to Him our all
That we may be faithful servants
Quick to answer now His call
Verse 3
We are called to be God's prophets
Speaking for the truth and right
Standing firm for godly justice
Bringing evil into light
Let us seek the courage needed
Our high calling to fulfill
That we all may know the blessing
Of the doing of God's will

January Benevolence — International Rescue Committee
If people do not have the power to make important decisions, they will struggle to improve their lives. The International Rescue Committee helps those who are recovering from conflict and disaster understand their rights and make informed choices for their futures.”
IRC works to:
Ensure that people are able to choose where to live
Ensure that people are able to choose how to live
Ensure that people are able to influence the decisions that affect their lives
Ensure that women and girls are equally able as men and boys to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed
Ensure that marginalized groups are equally able as the dominant group to choose where to live, how to live, and how they are governed
Undeck the Halls!
With the end of the Christmas season comes the time to take down our Christmas decorations. Come out to Church next Saturday, January 11, to help out. We’ll get started at 10 AM.
