Let us break bread together

Yes, it is already June! This Sunday is our communion Sunday. The choir will sing a traditional communion song : let us break bread together as anthem, and Jason and I will sing an offertory at 11:00 service with "the corner stone."

Let us all together kneel before before the Lord with humble hearts to get the Holy sacrament.

God so Loved the World

The chacel choir will lift up "God so Loved the World"as our anthem this week. It is based on the Gospel John 3:16-17.

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday, we will have a moment to think about our Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We will praise and worship Him with beautiful hymns! Come to the worship!

Here is the text of our anthem.

God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

God gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

God did not send His Son to condemn a sinful world, but to save the world, to save the world.

Living Water, Guiding Spirit

Pentecost is this Sunday! Praying that our worship service are filled with the Holy Spirit like the upper room at the Pentecoast. The Holy Spirit is the Living Spirit. Let's seek Him with whole our hearts like a deer pants for water.

The chancel choir will lift up "Living water, Guiding Spirit" as our anthem, and the youth handbell will play "Remembrance" as their last piece before the summer break. Here is the text of our anthem.

Living Water, Guiding Spirit by Joseph M. Martin

Just as the deer longs for the water, my spirit longs for You. Just as the deer longs for the water, my spirit longs for You, my God.

Living water flow in me, refresh my soul with Your truth and grace. Make in me Your vessel pure, a heart to hold Your praise, a heart to hold Your praise.

Just as the wind blows through the forrest, move through my life today.

Just as the wind blows through the forrest, move through my life O Lord, I pray.

Guiding Spirit blw through me. Refresh my soul with Your truth and grace. Lift me up where eagles fly. Teach me a higher way, teach me O Lord, I pray.

Inspiring!

This Sunday will be a little bit different that there will be an anthem by our InspiRingers. (the adult handbell choir) The handbell choir will also praise call to worship as well as postlude. At the second service, the youth choir will sing "How Beautiful" as an offfertory.

Praying you all feel God's abundant love through beautiful music during this Sunday worship service.

This Wednesday(May 12) will be the last day for the children's choir, the youth music teams will finish during next week.

Thank you all for your effort and hearts to praising our Lord together! Hope you all have a wonderful summer!!

Happy Mother's Day!

It is already May!

This Sunday is Mother's day. Even though we do not do much to celebrate during worship services, the children's choir will sing a special song for mothers. I pray that may the Lord bless all those mothers with His comfort, and love!!

Here is a cute and lovely lyric of the song.

Prayer for Mothers by Donna Butler

1. God bless the mother who sings to her child, peaceful and calm, her words soft and mild. God, bless the mother awake in the night, rocking her child 'till morning light.

2. God bless the mother forgiving and wise, sharing God's grace through the light in her eyes. God bless the mother oppresed by her fears, carried by faith till hope reappears.

Refrain: Gather all mothers in tender embrace. Grant them your courage, your wisdom and grace. Honor their place in your sacred design, of healing the world one child at a time.

Happy mother's day to y'all!

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

This week's anthem is "The King of Love My Shepherd is" by John Ness Beck. It is composed with text from our favorite Psalm 23rd.
We pray May the Lord be upon us in worship when we lift up our hearts to Him.
