2 The index cards are for the Ecuador Mission trip, Blessings in Blocks. These blessings are physically put into the cinderblocks of the home. They are read to the family that the house is being built for. This is something that is very touching to the family. It means a lot that people thousands of miles away are hoping and praying for the best future of their lives! Also we are accepting donations for building materials. We have a generous donor that is willing to match what we are able to raise so, please give as deeply as you are able. ~ Salem s Calendar & Announcements ~ Sunday May 27 10:00 a.m. Praise Worship 4:00 p.m. Exhale Monday May 28 10:00 a.m. Memorial Day Worship at Salem Cemetery Tuesday May 29 7:00 p.m. Mission Committee Meeting Wednesday May 30 7:00 p.m. Men s Choir Practice Saturday June 2-11 Ecuador Mission Trip Sunday June 3 9:00 a.m. Worship with Communion / Graduate Recognition Sunday Special Congregational Meeting following Worship Special Congregational meeting There will be a Congregational Meeting immediately following worship on Sunday, June 3 to discuss and vote on the air conditioner in the Parish Hall.

3 Words on Screen During Service: Call to Worship The sun rises and sets; seasons come and go; all things are in Your hand, O Lord! Your ways and timing are beyond our understanding, O Lord; yet You remain forever good, righteous and perfect in all your ways. In You alone we place our trust! The trees lift their branches to You; the wheat is perfectly arrayed, all the heads point to You; flowers burst forth; all for You most glorious God! We, with all creation, glorify You O Lord! Hear our praise! Great is our Lord! Doxology Seek Ye First Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all these things shall be added unto you, Allelu, alleluia. Benediction Response: God With God Go with God. Go with God. As you leave this place, go with God. God will direct your way, God will light ev'ry day. As you leave this place, go with God.

To live and love in freedom here and now, Stand and shout! I m gonna stand and praise my God. Stand and shout!

5 Closing Song You Are My All in All You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek; Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord to give up, I'd be a fool; Taking my sin, my cross, my shame, rising again I bless Your name, When I fall down, You pick me up; when I am dry, You fill my cup;
