Tommy Overn 8:00 The Rev. Brent Baker 9:30 The Rev. Bill Lamberth 11:00 He had no form or maesty that we should look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him. He was despised and reected by men, a man sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide ir faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 2
But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; upon Him was chastisement that brought us peace, and with His wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one his own way; and LORD has laid on Him iniquity us all. Isaiah 53.2b6 * Hymn No. 246 Man Sorrows! What a Name WHAT A SAVIOR!

He had come Jerusalem worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading prophet Isaiah. 29 And Spirit said Philip, Go over and oin this chariot. 30 So Philip ran him and heard him reading Isaiah prophet and asked, Do you understand what you are reading? 31 And he said, How can I, unless someone guides me? And he invited Philip come up and sit with him. 32 Now passage Scripture that he was reading was this: Like a sheep He was led slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He opens not his mouth. 33 In His humiliation ustice was denied Him. Who can describe His generation? For His life is taken away from earth. 34 And eunuch said Philip, About whom, I ask you, does prophet say this, about himself or about someone else? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he ld him good news about Jesus. 36 And as y were going along road y came some water, and eunuch said, See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized? 38 And he commanded chariot sp, and y both went down in water, Philip and eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when y came up out water, Spirit Lord carried Philip away, and eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way reoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached gospel all wns until he came Caesarea. 4
