Welcome - Rev. David Bonnema

Words of the Morning and Opening Prayer

Song - “How Great Thou Art” 1- Oh Lord, my God, when I, in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

(chorus) Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

2- And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. (chorus)

3- When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! (chorus)

Scripture - Luke 24:6-9

Prayer

Song - “Hymn of Promise”

1 - In the bulb there is a flower, in the seed an apple tree, in cocoons a hidden promise; butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

2- There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody, there’s a dawn in every darkness bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future, what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

3- In the end is our beginning, in our time, infinity, in our doubt there is believing, in our life, eternity; in our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory unrevealed until its season, something God alone can s

Benediction
