For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Salmo 95:6-7 Venid, adoremos y postrémonos; Arrodillémonos delante de Jehová nuestro hacedor. Porque él es nuestro Dios; Nosotros el pueblo de su dehesa, y ovejas de su mano. *Hymn of Approach No. 347/ Himno de Acercamiento No. 347 The Church s One Foundation"/"De la Iglesia el Fundamento" New Member Vows & Baptisms Matthew Bajonero Olivia Childress Regina Bajonero Dylan Diveley Prayer of Adoration and Confession/ Oración de Adoración y Confesión Assurance of Pardon/ Seguridad del Perdón Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaías 55:6-7 Buscad a Jehová mientras puede ser hallado, llamadle en tanto que está cercano. Deje el impío su camino, y el hombre inicuo sus pensamientos, y vuélvase a Jehová, el cual tendrá de él misericordia, y al Dios nuestro, el cual será amplio en perdonar.
*Affirmation of Faith/ Afirmación de Fe The Apostle s Creed/El Credo do los Apóstoles I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker 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 into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into 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. *When we say holy catholic church, we aren t referring to the Roman Catholic Church, but instead to the true Christian church that exists all over the world in every tongue, tribe, and nation. Creo en Dios Padre Todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra; y en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, Señor nuestro; que fue concebido del Espíritu Santo, nació de la virgen María, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilatos; fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado; descendió a los infiernos; al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos; subió al cielo, y está sentado a la diestra de Dios Padre Todopoderoso; y desde allí vendrá al fin del mundo a juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la Santa Iglesia Universal, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne y la vida perdurable. Amén. *Hymn of Faith / Himno de Fe The Lion And The Lamb / "El León y el Cordero" Song Book pg. 27 (Ushers come forward on last verse) He s coming on the clouds Kings and kingdom will bow down Every chain will break As broken hearts declare His praise Who can stop the Lord Almighty Our God is a Lion the Lion of Judah He's roaring in power And fighting our battles And every knee will bow before Him Our God is a Lamb The Lamb that was slain For the sins of the world His blood breaks the chains And every knee will bow Before the Lion and the Lamb Every knee will bow before Him Who can stop the Lord Almighty Who can stop the Lord Almighty Who can stop the Lord Almighty Who can stop the Lord Our God is a Lion the Lion of Judah He's roaring in power And fighting our battles And every knee will bow before Him Our God is a Lamb The Lamb that was slain For the sins of the world His blood breaks the chains And every knee will bow Before the Lion and the Lamb Every knee will bow before Him Prayer of Dedication/ Oración de Dedicación Offertory/ Ofertorio Infant Holy, Infant Lowly / "Niño Santo y Humilde" - Choir (Children ages 4 years to 2nd grade may be dismissed to Children s Church.
