Hymns of Praise
7:30 A.M. 11:00 A.M.

WEVE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH

Refrain Weve come this far by faith, Leaning on the Lord; Trusting in His holy word, Hes never failed me yet. Oh cant turn around, Weve come this far by faith. Verse 1 Dont be discouraged when troubles In your life, Hell bear your burdens And move all misery and strife. Thats why weve come this far by faith, Leaning on the Lord; Trusting in His holy word, Hes never failed me yet. Oh cant turn around, weve come this far by faith. Verse 2 Just the other day I heard someone say He didnt believe in Gods word; But I can truly say that God has made a way, And Hes never failed me yet. Thats why weve come this far by faith, Leaning on the Lord; Trusting in His holy word, Hes never failed me yet. Oh cant turn around, weve come this far by faith.

THE SOLID ROCK

Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus name. Chorus On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. Verse 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In evry high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. Verse 3 When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found, Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.

HYMNS OF PRAISE

Unison Scriptures
7:30 a.m. Joshua 4:1-7 (NIV)
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua, 2Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, 3and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.
1

For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, 4and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,
3

6:00 p.m. Mark 9:7; 19-25 (NRSV)

Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!
7

So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, What do these stones mean? 7tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.
4

He answered them, You faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him to me. 20And they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, immediately it threw the boy into convulsions, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21Jesus asked the father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, From childhood.
19

11:00 a.m. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (NRSV)

Now I should remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, 2through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to youunless you have come to believe in vain.
1

It has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us and help us. 23Jesus said to him, If you are able!All things can be done for the one who believes. 24Immediately the father of the child cried out, I believe; help my unbelief! 25When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You spirit that keep this boy from speaking and hearing, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!

About the colored fabric in the Sanctuary

The various colored fabrics that hang from the ceiling of our Sanctuary represent the colors of the Liturgical Year and other themes important to our congregation. The Liturgical Year is marked by special seasons Advent, Christmas, Lent, The Triduum (or Three Days), Easter, and Ordinary Time. The Liturgical Year begins on the first Sunday of Advent, which usually occurs around the beginning of December or the end of November, and ends on the feast of Christ the King. However, the purpose of the Liturgical Year calendar is not to mark the passage of time, but to celebrate and understand more fully the entire mystery of Jesus Christ, from his incarnation and birth until his ascension, the day of Pentecost, and the expectation of his return in glory. During the course of a year, the paschal mystery the passion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus is viewed from different angles, in different lights. Thus far, the hanging fabric has represented: Advent (White) Easter/Good Friday (Red or Purple) Royalty of Christ (Purple) Blood of Jesus (Red) Black National Flag colors (Red, black, green)

2012 Trinity UCC Theme Walking, Talking and Living Our Faith, Ephesians 4 (NLT)
January Ephesians 4:1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. February Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults because of your love. March Ephesians 4:3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. April Ephesians 4:4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. May Ephesians 4:5-6 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all. June Ephesians 4:7 However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. July Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. August Ephesians 4:12 Their responsibility is to equip Gods people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. September Ephesians 4:13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of Gods Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. October Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We wont be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. November Ephesians 4:15-16 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. December Ephesians 31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
