We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.

Prelude:
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Alyson Webber on the harp
This Sunday's Anthem:
How Can I Keep From Singing?
By Chris Tomlin
Verse 1
There is an endless song, echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come, I am holding on
To the rock I cling
Chorus 1
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough, how amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King and
It makes my heart want to sing
Verse 2
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night for I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You, knowing You see me through
And sing the songs You give
Bridge
I can sing in the troubled times, sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step and I fall down again
I can sing cause you pick me up
Sing cause You're there
I can sing cause You hear me Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath, sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels and
The saints around the throne
Chorus 3
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough, how amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King and it makes my heart
I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart
I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
I can sing
Communion:
Presented by the Youth Group, accompanied on guitar by Bailey White
Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)
By
Matt Crocker, Joel Houston & Salomon Lightelm
Verse 1
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
Chorus
I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Verse 2
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
Bridge
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
Last Chorus
I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Resurrection will again be supporting the annual White County White Christmas Project (aka Angel Tree) this holiday season. Beginning this Sunday, 11/17, we will have angels on the tree in the nave for selecting boys and girls of various ages with their gift wishes.
Participating shoppers will have until
December 8 to shop for their angel(s). All bags are due back on that Sunday. We will collect them and take them to the collection point.
Please consider supporting this very special ministry/outreach opportunity again this year. May the spirit of Christmas be alive in our hearts as we bring cheer to those less fortunate then ourselves!
