Musical Offering 8:00 Vocalise Rachmaninoff Stephen Nielson, piano arr. Frey/Nielson 9:30/11:00 God Is Our Refuge and Strength Allen Pote Chancel Choir J. Marty Cope, conductor The King s Brass Stephen Nielson, piano God is our refuge and strength; a present help in times of trouble, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam, we will not fear. Come and behold the work of the Lord, the awesome acts of God. He is in the midst of His people, in all the earth. He is the Word, He is our rock, He will lead us. He is the Lord, the Lord of hosts, He will cause all wars to cease, He is our strength. * The Greeting of Peace Minister: Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. The peace of the Lord be with you always. Psalm 46.10-11 People: And also with you. Extending the Kingdom: Divorce Care 9:30/11:00 * The Scripture Reading 1 Peter 3.1-7 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3 Do not let your adorning be external the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. 7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
