1 Myerstown Church of the Brethren 51 West Stoever Ave., Myerstown, PA But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 Sunday, the Lord s Day July 30, 2017 Sunday School - 9:00 a.m. Worship Service - 10:00 a.m. Web Page myerstowncob@myerstowncob.org Telephone Number Pastor Marty Moyer Welcome *Hymn Great is the Lord #87 BL *Call to Worship Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. *Hymn When we walk with the Lord #544 BL *Invocation Prayer
