1. Praise and Worship 2. Opening Prayer 3. Hymn 1- When We Walk With The Lord (Trust And Obey) RCCG Hymn 409
When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey.
1
3
Refrain: Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
4
2
Not a shadow can rise, Not a cloud in the skies, But His smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt nor a fear, Not a sigh nor a tear, Can abide while we trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey.
But we never can prove the delights of his love until all on the altar we lay; for the favor he shows, for the joy he bestows, are for them who will tru2st and obey.
5
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet, or we’ll walk by his side in the way; what he says we will do, where he sends we will go; never fear, only trust and obey.
4. Bible Reading 1: 1Thess. 4:13-18 (NIV) 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

6. Hymn 2: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less RCCG HYMN 474
1
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
3
His oath, His covenant, and blood, Support me in the whelming flood;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
When all around my soul gives way,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
He then is all my hope and stay.
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
2
4
In every high and stormy gale,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Faultless to stand before the throne.
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to veil His face, I rest on His unchanging grace;
When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found;
7. Bible Reading 2: 1Cor. 15:51-58 51 Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 55 “O[b] Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

8. Hymn 3: What A Friend We Found In Jesus
1
What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!
3
Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care?
What a privilege to carry
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Everything to God in prayer!
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
All because we do not carry
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Everything to God in prayer!
Thou wilt find a solace there.
2
4
We should never be discouraged—
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
Who will all our sorrows share?
There will be no need for prayer—
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Will be our sweet portion there.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
9. Bible Reading 3: Rev. 21:1-7 1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

Hymn 4: Shall We Gather At The River RCCG HYMN 747
1
Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod;
3
But before we gain the river, Lay we every burden down,
With its crystal tide for ever
Jesus, here from sin deliver;
Flowing by the throne of God?
Those whose there Thy grace will crown.
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
That flows by the throne of God.

We will walk and worship ever:
Soon our golden harp strings quiver,
His dear footsteps following.
With the melody of peace.
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
That flows by the throne of God.
On the margin of the river, Guided by our Shepherd King,
11.
Soon we’ll reach the crystal river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Bible Reading 4: John 14:1-7
1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
