How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great, is our God He really is a great God

How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great, is our God Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
The splendor of a King How great Thou art
Clothed in majesty How great Thou art
Let all the earth rejoice
Let all the earth rejoice Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
He wraps Himself in light How great Thou art
And darkness tries to hide How great Thou art
It trembles at His voice
It trembles at His voice My God how great You are
How great, how great You are
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see Take me to the place, Lord
How great, how great, is our God To that secret place where
How great is our God, sing with me I can be with You
How great is our God, and all will see You can make me like You
How great, how great, is our God
Wrap me in Your arms
Nobody greater Wrap me in Your arms
Nobody greater Wrap me in Your arms
Nobody great than You

Prayer of Thanksgiving & Blessings Deacon Romel Holmes & Mr. David Holmes
For Fathers Special [pray together]
Loving and Merciful God, whose power is beyond our scope and whose wisdom is beyond our understanding, We turn to you in faith
assured that you know our every emotion and are aware of our every need.
Our thoughts and prayers today are turned towards our fathers. For those whose fathers have increased the joy in their lives, we give you thanks.
For those whose fathers’ presence is greatly missed may we take time to gratefully recall all they have given to us, providing for us in our growing.
For those whose fathers have recently lost or who are facing the imminent loss of their own fathers, may they find comfort in their grief, hope in
their despair, courage in the love that their fathers have given them.
We give thanks, God, for these good men who sustain and support us in our living, who love us no matter what! What a blessing they are to all who
know them!
We give thanks to you, O God, for all those whose gift of fatherhood is so strong that they have allowed their caring to spil l over into the lives of
others providing the guidance and stability, the nurture and the love needed.
We pray, compassionate God, for those whose father has been a source of hurt and pain. May their wounds be healed. May the y find in you, in
us, in others, the nurturing, sustaining love that is needed for their growth and well-being.
We pray for fathers who are separated from their children through life choices. Give them the insight and wisdom, the courage and perseverance to
parent in whatever creative life-giving ways that are opened to them.
We remember single fathers who struggle to be both parents to their children--to provide all the emotional, physical and spiritual needs. May they
find the strength, the courage and wisdom for their task.
We pray for those fathers whose relationships with their children have been difficult or disappointing.
We pray, too, for those who have been denied a chance to be fathers, and for those whose years of parenting have been cut short by the loss of a
child. We turn to You, most holy God, knowing trusting that you can console where consolation seems impossible. May these receive comfort for
their soul and peace and hope for living that their gifts may not be denied to others.
Finally, we rejoice with you, O God, at the many fine men, who in spite of confusing roles in a rapidly changing society, hav e taken their place as
fathers with open hearts, with willingness and joy. And we join all fathers everywhere in praying that their children may be well and happy, a source
of joy for years to come.
Hear our prayers this day, O God, and give to us such assurance of your love that your love may spill forth from us into the lives of oth-
ers. In Jesus name. Amen.

“I’ve Decided to Make Jesus My Choice”
“I See A Hero”
Scripture: Psalm 68:4-5, 19 | 1 Peter 4:7-11
Deacon Sam Allen & Mr. Cameron Allen
Psalm 68:4-5, 19)
Come, sing praises to God!
Rejoice in his presence!
For he is our God:
a Father to the fatherless,
and the defender of all who need protection;
the One in whom the lonely find a home,
and the prisoner finds release.
Bless the Lord,
the God of our salvation,
who sustains and strengthens us,
day after day!
Let’s worship God together!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. AMEN

1 Peter 4:7-11
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
8
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
9
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11
If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God
supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever
and ever. Amen.
