Welcome! Pentecost Celebration

for the Community.  Everyone is Welcome! 

When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all Truth. John 16:13. 
You and I should be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we can be all that the Lord wants us to be.

  
Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling 

Timothy Rees (1922). 

 performed by Christopher Lawton 

 Northenden Methodit Church. 

Holy Spirit Ever Dwelling

Holy Spirit, ever dwelling 

In the holiest realms of light;

Holy Spirit, ever brooding 

O’er a world of gloom and night;

Holy Spirit, ever raising 

Those of earth to thrones on high;

Living, life-imparting Spirit, 

You we praise and magnify. 

Prayer: 

Creator Spirit and Giver of life,

make the dry, bleached bones of our lives

live and breathe and grow again

as you did of old.

Pour out your Spirit upon the whole creation.

Come in rushing wind and flashing fire

to turn the sin and sorrow within us

into faith, power, and delight. Amen. 

Baptized in Water (Morning has Broken). 

Michael Saward (1982), from the Gaelic (1888). 

Baptized in Water

Baptized in water,

sealed by the Spirit,

cleansed by the blood of Christ, our King;

heirs of salvation,

trusting his promise,

faithfully now God’s praise we sing. 

We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.

All mine are yours, and yours are mine. John 17. 

I want Jesus to Walk with Me
Spiritual
 performed by Eric Bibb.

I want Jesus to walk with me;
all along my pilgrim journey,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.

This spiritual hymn focuses on a plea for Jesus to walk alongside us.  We pray that His answer is “yes.”  Please reflect on what it means to be in the presence of Jesus. 

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:12. 

  • Visit with Jesus
    Visit with Jesus
  • Gracious God,
    in the resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ,
    You have given us eternal life
    and glorified your name in all the world.
    Refresh our souls with the living streams of Your truth,
    that in our unity, your joy may be complete. Amen. 

We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.

Welcome! Ascension Service

Welcome! Ascension Service 
for the Community 
Everyone is Welcome! 

While he was blessing them, he was carried up into heaven. Luke 24. 

Your Grace is Enough 

Matt Maher 
The Apostle’s Creed 

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
      who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
      and born of the virgin Mary.
      He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
      was crucified, died, and was buried;
      he descended to hell.
      The third day he rose again from the dead.
      He ascended to heaven
      and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
      From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the holy catholic church,
      the communion of saints,
      the forgiveness of sins,
      the resurrection of the body,
      and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer: 
  • Precious love,
    your ascended Son promised the gift of holy power.
    Send your Spirit of revelation and wisdom,
    that in the blessed freedom of hope,
    we may witness to the grace of forgiveness
    and sing songs of joy with the peoples of earth
    to the One who makes us one body. Amen.

National Day of Prayer

The 64th Annual National Day of Prayer is here!

Heavenly Father, We come to You in the Name that is above every name—Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Our hearts cry out to You. Knowing that You are a prayer-answering, faithful God—the One we trust in times like these—we ask that You renew our spirits, revive our churches, and heal our land. We repent of our sins and ask for Your grace and power to save us. Hear our cry, oh God, and pour out Your Spirit upon us that we may walk in obedience to Your Word. We are desperate for Your tender mercies. We are broken and humbled before You. Forgive us, and in the power of Your great love, lift us up to live in Your righteousness. We pray for our beloved nation. May we repent and return to You and be a light to the nations. And we pray for our leaders and ask that You give them wisdom and faith to follow You. Preserve and protect us, for You are our refuge and only hope. Deliver us from all fears except to fear You, and may we courageously stand in the Truth that sets us free. We pray with expectant faith and grateful hearts. In Jesus’ name, our Savior. Amen. – Dr. Jack Graham. 2015 National Prayer. 

Pray
Sanctus Real
I bow my head to pray, I don’t know what to say

I’m not sure how to fix the things I’m dealing with

I’m in a desperate place, I need to share the weight

But I just don’t know how, to let it all pour out

Though I’m silent, my heart is crying

Cause I was made to come to You.

The National Day of Prayer (36 U.S.C. § 119) is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the Congress of the United States, when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation”. Each year since its inception, the President has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.

Faithfulness Reflection Devotion

 

Fruit of the Spirit
Fruit of the Spirit

The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations. Psalm 100:5.

It may seem surprising when children do not follow their parents’ example of faith in God. Equally unexpected is a person with a deep commitment to Christ who emerges from a family where faith was not present. In every generation, each person has a choice.

Samuel was a great man of God who appointed his two sons, Joel and Abijah, as leaders over Israel. 1 Sam. 8:1-2. Unlike their father, however, they were corrupt and “turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.” 1 Sam. 8:3. Yet, years later, we find Heman, Joel’s son, appointed as a musician in the house of the Lord. 1 Chron. 6:31-33. Heman, Samuel’s grandson, along with Asaph, his right-hand man and the author of many of the Psalms, served the Lord by singing joyful songs. 1 Chron. 15:16-17.

Even though a person seems indifferent toward the faith so precious to his or her parents, God is still at work. Things can change in later years, and seeds of faith may spring to life in generations to come.

No matter what the family situation may be, we know that “the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”  – David McCasland – Daily Bread.

Faithful God 
 Gateway Worship 

If I call, will You come
When I cry, do You hear
I believe every tear
Is caught up by a faithful God
So I will cry until You come
Cast my cares into Your arms
I can’t see past this storm
But I’m counting on a faithful God. 

Dear Lord, help me to remember that You are the one who causes the seed of faith to grow. We give our loved ones into Your care, knowing that the end of the story has not yet been written.  
God’s faithfulness extends to all generations.  
INSIGHT: Psalm 100 is a short psalm, only five verses, in which we are encouraged to shout, serve, sing, give thanks, praise, and bless the Lord. We should shout joyfully, serve gladly, and bless Him because the Lord is God; because He made us and we belong to Him Psalm 100:3.; and because He is good, merciful, and always forgiving. 
AMEN!
