Order of Service Musical Prelude...The Bahamas Adventist Meistersingers Trio Harmonious Praise Opening Remarks...Pastor Leonard A. Johnson Hymn... Morning Has Broken...Pastor Michael D. Toote Arr. Audrey Dean-Wright Morning has broken, Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken, Like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing, Fresh from the Word! Sweet the rain s new fall, Sunlit from heaven, Like the first dew fall, On the first grass. Praise for the sweetness, Of the wet garden, Sprung in completeness, Where His feet pass. Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play! Praise with elation, Praise every morning, God s recreation, Of the new day! Prayer of Intercession...Pastor Leo C. Rolle Musical Selection.The Bahamas Adventist Meistersingers...Pastor John Carey That Blessed Hope Arr. Audrey Dean-Wright Scripture Reading...Romans 8:31-39...Pastor Andrew E. Burrows Pastor Edward St. Fleur Verse 31: What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Verse 32: Since God did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won t God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else? Verse 33: Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. Verse 34: Who then will condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us. Verse 35: Can anything ever separate us from Christ s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death?
Verse 36: Even the Scriptures say, For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep. Verse 37: No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Verse 38: And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can t, and life can t, the angels can t, and the demons can t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can t keep God s love away. Verse 39: Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I m Pressing On The Upward Way.Elder Roger Forbes Charles H. Gabriel I m pressing on the upward way, New heights I m gaining every day; Still praying as I onward bound, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I want to live above the world, Though Satan s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound My prayer, my aim is higher ground. I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I ll pray til heaven I ve found, Lord, lead me on to higher ground. Chorus: Lord, lift me up, and I shall stand By faith, on heaven s table land; A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Musical Tribute Combined Bahamas Conference Adventist Choir Pastor Leonard A. Johnson Homily...Pastor Leslie V. McMillan Prayer of Consolation...Pastor Hugh A. Roach Recessional... When We All Get To Heaven...Elder C. Melvin Lewis Emily Wilson Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed, He ll prepare for us a place. Let us then be true and faithful! Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory, Will the toils of life repay. While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when traveling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open, We shall tread the streets of gold. Chorus: When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We ll sing and shout the victory! Benediction...Pastor T. Basil Sturrup
