Nursery Childcare for children 2 & under is available in the Nursery (Rm.2) with Joanna Swanson. Hearing Devices Hearing devices are available at the Sound Room. Prepare for Worship We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about. R. C. Sproul Gathering *Opening Praise 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord (chorus) Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul, Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul, I ll worship Your holy name. The sun comes up, it s a new day dawning; It s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes. (chorus) You re rich in love, and You re slow to anger. Your name is great, and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness, I ll keep on singing; Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. Ephesians 3:20-21 God is able to do far more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (chorus) And on that day when my strength is failing, The end draws near, and my time has come; Still my soul will sing Your praise unending; Ten thousand years and then forevermore! (chorus plus) I ll worship Your holy name. Yes, I ll worship Your holy name.
