And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us and our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the prophets. And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

P R O J E C T O F T H E M O N T H : E A S T E R S A C R I F I C I A L O F F E R I N G Every year as we gratefully remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, we at Tenth Church respond by sacrificially contributing to this special offering. The Easter Sacrificial Offering (ESO) is a ministry of Global Outreach and supports international and cross-cultural ministry over and beyond our designated budget. This year, ESO will support several ministries, including a school for Syrian refugees, eye surgeries for the underprivilged Ethiopians, orphans in Liberia, a construction of a church in Egypt, and the training of leaders in another church in Egypt. As you celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus for you, consider how you might sacrifice for these ministries. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church with April Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. * Congregation standing

5 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Choral Joseph Jongen Fanfare for Easter Walter Pelz I know that my Redeemer lives, what joy this blest assurance gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living Head! Christ the Lord is risen again! Christ has broken every chain! Now through all the world it rings that the Lamb is King of kings. Alleluia! Colin Howland, organ Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase of five Solas and means Glory to God Alone. Soli Deo Gloria affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of our desire at Tenth Church to honor Him with our musical offerings. 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 273: Jesus Christ Is Risen Today Llanfair * Hymn 276: Up from the Grave He Arose Christ Arose (Catechism Club and Tenth Children s Music are not meeting this evening) * Prayer of Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But You, O Lord, have mercy upon us. And grant, O most merciful Father, for Jesus sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous and joyful life, to the glory of Your Name.

Answer: In the third petition, which is, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven, we pray that God, by his grace, would make us able and willing to know, obey and submit to his will in all things, as the angels do in heaven. * Congregation standing

7 TENTH PRESS APRIL 16, 2017 Easter Sacrificial Offering: See That the Lord Is Good by John and Lori Kempen, Tenth Global Partners and Founders of Sight for Souls I surveyed the line of twenty or so of elderly men, who had come to this outreach we were doing in partnership with another organization in rural Ethiopia. Each, with one eye patched generously with white gauze and tape following his surgery yesterday, was sitting with a rather blank expression on his face. As John removed the first patch, I waited for the explosion of excitement. Nothing. Blank stares. After a cursory sight check (how many fingers?) and a peek into the eye for surgical complications, John peeled away the second patient s patch. Again, not much of a response. This is anticlimactic, I thought. All these years of planning and prep, for this. However, change was in the air. I had interviewed two particular cataract surgery patients the day before. When he removed their patches, I followed up with some more questions, a group project of a clinical technician, a family member, and onlookers, translating from Amharic to Oromifa, and back. They were happy with the result, though not as expressive as I had hoped. As I was videoing the interview, another man down the line shouted, GELETOMA! ( THANK YOU! ). He carried on, bursting with joy and excitement, praising God and thanking the medical team. I was pretty disappointed I hadn t caught it on video, but finished up my interview, and surveyed the crowd again. By now there was a quiet change. One really cute elderly man was grinning from ear to ear as he showed his neighbor his plastic cowboy-looking boots he had acquired somehow, which he had probably never seen before today. They were murmuring, smiling, chatting, thanking God and the doctors, their wrinkled faces, gorgeous and deep from a lifetime of experience and radiating delight. They were shaking their hands, palm up, murmuring, overflowing with thankfulness and gratitude that they could see. I shook one patient s hand--he kissed my hand so fervently--i kissed his back, hoping that was okay in this culture (it was, I found out). My hand was kissed and blessed by a lot of precious whiskers, and I kissed many hands worn and beautiful by a lifetime of hard work. By the end of the day many happy men and women were on their way home seeing, and many others were having their second eye operation. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in developing countries. In Ethiopia, about 1.6% of the population, or about 1.25 million people are blind. Almost half of these (600,000) are blind from cataracts and could be cured, awaiting operations that are largely unavailable due to the lack of ophthalmologists. We praise God that Phase 1 of Sight for Souls Discovery Eye Center is up and running well. We have four ophthalmologists (two Ethiopian and two American missionaries), and 8 staff, and a well-functioning wellequipped unit set up under the auspices of MyungSung Christian Medical Center (a Presbyterian mission hospital). We are seeing a growth in the number of patients coming by 30% per month since January. We are blessed to have the capacity to leverage our infrastructure and staff members to do further outreaches to the poor in underserved areas. Because there are a lot of souls who need sight right now. Under Sight for Souls and our partner mission hospital, we are implementing a plan for long term sustainable medical care, paid for by patients, which we aspire to have last indefinitely and provide training to multiply and retain eye care workers. The small percentage of people who are financially well off can get cataract surgery just like we did in Philadelphia; though it costs a lot less than in the West, it still will generate a surplus that can be used to reduce costs for the middle and lower middle class people for whom lower tech approaches with the same ultimate outcomes are more affordable. However, there are huge numbers of people who are well below lower-middle class, and can t even afford to pay our marginal cost of providing one of these surgeries of about $50 for one eye. You may have heard of the recent trash dump disaster, where over 100 who were eking out a living gleaning from the city dump died in a giant trash landslide. We are so grateful to Tenth Presbyterian Church for including our poverty-stricken blind neighbors in the ESO, which will restore vision to hundreds of needlessly blind people (one for every $50). Often restoring sight to a blind person helps to lift their whole family out of poverty, in addition to restoring the many other benefits of sight, which parallels the Holy Spirit s work of regeneration that gives sight to the spiritually blind.
