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.)

Spirit, I adore you, and I lay my life before you How I love you. 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! 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.
Chorus: And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love. Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love. We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand. (repeat) And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land. (Chorus) We will work with each other, we will work side by side. (repeat) And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride. (Chorus) All praise to the Father from whom all things come, And all praise to Christ Jesus His only Son, And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one. (Chorus) *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

Luncheon After Church Today Today after our worship service, the Senior Highs and Middle Highs will provide a taco luncheon. The luncheon is free, but if anyone would like to make a donation, all proceeds from the luncheon will help support our youth program. Please make plans to stay and support our youth. Youth Car Wash / Yard Sale / Vendor Sale This Saturday May 7th, 8 AM-12 PM We are selling tables for Vendors and Yard Sale participants ($20 for 1 table / $30 for 2 tables). We are also selling Breakfast items and having a Bake Sale. We are hoping to just sell tables for yard sale items so that we don't have to do all the collecting and sorting, and we can concentrate on selling Breakfast items, Bake Sale items (home-made), and having a separate area for vendors to sell their goods, and of course our Car Wash! You may rent a yard sale space / table to sell your own items. Please contact Lisa Culpepper (336-306-0297), Stephanie Stevens (336-972-2517) or the church office at 336-924-8063 if you know anyone who would like to be a vendor or would like to rent a table for the yard sale. Mark your calendars for this date! This is one of the major fundraisers for our Youth. Homemade Baked Goods Needed The Youth need homemade baked goods to sell during the Car Wash this Saturday, May 7th. If you are willing to bring a homemade baked good, please sign up on the Sign Up Sheets today located at the church entrances or call Lisa Culpepper (336-306-0297).
