THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER April 30, 2017 Ministers: All Who Serve Jesus YOUTH SUNDAY BAND PRELUDE YOUTH PRELUDE Various Selections Michael Angell, Myles Gunter, Evan Stevens CHIMING OF THE HOUR WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Justin Myers Please pass the friendship pads both ways in the pew. Visitors, please sign your name, address and telephone number. *CONGREGATIONAL SINGING I SEARCH FOR YOU, LORD I search for you, Lord, in the washing and churning of ocean's tide. I look for your presence in all of the brightness of morning's sky. I wander through fields of clover and flowers that smell so sweet. I feel the brown earth and soft grass under my feet. Chorus: Lord, I know you're not far away, God, I reach for you each day. You are my life, you are my way. I stand in the city and notice the people who live and die; I look in their faces and see the nothing of years gone by. I weep for the heartache and all of the dreams that are shattered here. I feel the dark shadows, the loneliness and the fear. (Chorus) Lord, I wonder in all that is and all of time, Will the power of love and peace be known to humankind? Will oceans and skies and fields and flowers ever know, That we are here because you love us so? (Chorus)

Chorus: Behold he comes riding on the clouds, shining like the sun at the trumpet roar Lift your voice it’s the year of jubilee, and out of Zion’s hills salvation comes. These are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming as flesh And these are the days of your servant David, rebuilding the temple of grace And these are the days of the harvest, for the fields are as white in your world And we are the laborers in your vineyard declaring the word of the Lord. (Ch.) There’s no God like Jehovah, there’s no God like Jehovah . . .!
Michael Cross Luke 24:13-35 (Page 860) Acts 2:22-32 (Page 885)

*CLOSING SONG JUDE BENEDICTION Now to Him who is able to keep you, Who is able to keep you from stumbling And to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with great joy. To the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord Be all glory, majesty, dominion and power before all time, both now and forever. Amen and Amen, Amen and Amen Amen and Amen, Amen and Amen and Amen *BLESSING
THE DAYS OF ELIJAH These are the days of Elijah, declaring the word of the Lord These are the days of your servant Moses, righteousness being restored And though these are days of great trial, of famine and darkness and sword Still we are the voice in the desert crying prepare ye the way of the Lord!
