Second Baptist Church belong | believe | become August 10, 2014

Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation Come away from rush and hurry to the stillness of God’s peace; from our vain ambition’s worry, come to Christ and find release.

Come away from noise and clamor, life’s demands and frenzied pace; come to join the people gathered here to seek and find God’s face.

In the pastures of God’s goodness we lie down to rest our soul.

From the waters of his mercy we drink deeply, are made whole.

At the table of his presence all his saints are richly fed.

With the oil of his anointing into service we are led.

Come, then, children, with your burdens —life’s confusions, fears, and pain.

Leave them at the cross of Jesus; take instead his kingdom’s reign.

Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them —he alone will satisfy.

All our longings find attainment when to self we gladly die.

Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.

Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.

Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.

Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.

Righteousness will go before him, and will make a path for his steps.
