LORD KEEP ME DAY BY DAY

 

Lord keep me day by day

In a pure and perfect way

I want to live, I want live Lord

in that building not made by hands

 

I'm just a stranger here

Travelling through this barren land

Something I know, there's a building

in that building not made by hands

 

Lord keep my body strong

So that I can do no wrong

Lord give me grace just to win this Christian race

to a building not made by hands

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF

 

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself. 

Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test. 

And no matter how you feel, speak the word and you will be healed. 

Speak over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord.

(repeat)

 

Sometimes you have to speak the word over yourself, 

the pressure is all around, but God is present help. 

The enemy created walls, but remember giants, they do fall; 

Speak over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord. 

 

As I minister to you, I minister to myself, 

Life can hurt you so, 'til you feel there's nothing left.

No matter how you feel, speak the word and you will be healed. 

 

Speak over yourself (4x) 

 

Vamp 1

I'm encouraged. (4x) 

 

Vamp 2

I'm encouraged, I'm encouraged, I'm encouraged, I'm encouraged. 

 

Repeat Vamp 1 

Repeat Vamp 2 

Repeat Vamp 1

 

Speak over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

CALL HIM UP

If you confess the Lord, call Him up! (4x)

 

If you believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

Call Him up and tell Him what you want!

 

When darkness comes your way, call Him up!

He'll brighten up your day, call Him up! (repeat)

 

If you believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

Call Him up and tell Him what you want!

 

Delight thyself in the Lord

And He will give you the desires of your heart

Even though sometimes we stumble, even though sometimes we fall

Call Him up, and tell Him what you want!

 

Can't stop praising His name, I just can't stop praising His name

I just can't stop praising His name - Jesus!

HOLY COMMUNION

When we approach God's Holy Table, we do so with respect and reverence for who God is. It is not done with noise, commotion, moving around, or confusion.  Please respect God by respecting His Holy Table.

 

 

 

CONFESSION OF FAITH

 

The church acknowledges as its head, God, the Creator of all heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit the Comforter. It acknowledges as brothers and sisters in Christ, all who share in this confession.  It believes that all of those who are committed to building of God's Kingdom and strive to keep His commandments are invited to partake of the Lord's Supper and that all such, with their families, are invited to the Ordinance of Baptism.

 

 

 

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH:

“APOSTLES” CREED

 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty:  from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal], the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

 

 

THE LORD’S SUPPER

I Corinthians 11: 23 – 34

 

 

Pastor:       For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

 

People:     And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

 

Pastor:       After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

 

People:     For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he comes.

 

Pastor:       Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

 

People:     But let a person examine themselves, and so let them eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

 

Pastor:       For they that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to themselves, not discerning the Lord’s body.

 

People:     For this cause, many are weak in [Faith] and sick among you, and many sleep.

 

Pastor:       For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

 

People:     But when we judge, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

 

Pastor:       Wherefore, my friends, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

 

All:             And if a person hungers, let them eat at home; that they come not together to this table, disregarding its purpose, and unto condemnation.  And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Thank You

 

To Rev Lloyd and my extended church family,

My family and I want to express our sincere gratitude to you all for the kind messages, phone calls and most importantly all the prayers during this difficult time as we mourned the passing our beloved Aunt and Uncle.  Your words of encouragement played a tremendous part in keeping us together and for that we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.  May the Lord’s blessing continue to be with you all.  Len, Sheron Daley and family
