~11am Sunday Service~
Sermon Text: Psalm 98 NRSV
Sermon Title: "A New Song"
|
|
1 O sing to the Lord a new song,
for He has done marvelous things.
His right hand and His Holy arm
have gotten Him victory.
2 The Lord has made known His victory;
He has revealed His vindication in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered His steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands;
let the hills sing together for joy
9 at the presence of the Lord, for He is coming
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.

Praise & Worship
Romans 15:6 That together you may with one voice glorify the God & Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We encourage you to join us and ask everyone to offer their voices/hands to God throughout His church whether that is singing, humming or standing.
Let's express our gratitude toward God for all He has done and continues to do.
Prelude: "Praise Ye the Lord" arr. by Rick Parks
Opening Hymn: #286 "This is the Day"
This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made,
that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice,
we will rejoice and be glad in it,
and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day,
this is the day that the Lord has made.
Special Music: Aria from the oratorio "The Creation" by Josef Haydn
Alicia Reid, soprano
Closing Hymn: #39 "My Tribute"
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things you have done.
With His blood Christ has saved me;
With your power you have raised me
To God be the glory
For the things you have done.
Postlude: "Toccata by Gordon Young"

Please find the prayer list below,
and genuinely pray for ALL of God's creation.
PRAYER HAS DIVINE POWER TO DEMOLISH STRONGHOLDS.
"4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
2 Corinthians 10: 4-5

!Community Outreach Opportunity!
First Christian Family!
We have a wonderful opportunity to continue
“Putting Faith Into Action,” by supporting our homeless community in
downtown Winston Salem on May 23rd, immediately after our Sunday service. We’ve been invited to join with The Dwelling for the event they will be hosting. The Dwelling Church is located at 520 N. Spring Street 27101.
We will provide non-perishable food items.
There will also be a community meal served from Helping Hands Ministry,
a mobile vaccine clinic, mobile showers and more!

Church World Service Hygiene Kits
Last year FCC put together 33 hygiene kits and delivered them in August to Church World Service to be used to help families following natural disasters.
In the past year they distributed over 27,000 of these kits, most recently 2000 to Texas in response to damaging winter weather, and 1500 to Alabama after recent tornados. We have been asked to help replenish their supply again this year.
We already have on hand all the band-aids, combs and toothbrushes that we need.
Items that we do need contributed are as follows:
-One washcloth
-One bath size bar of soap in the original package
-One fingernail or toenail clipper removed from package (either is accepted)
-One hand towel measuring approximately 15”x28” to 16”x32”
(no fingertip, bath, dish towel, or micro-fiber)
We will be assembling these in gallon Ziploc bags on Saturday morning,
May 29th to be delivered to Church World Service the first week of June.
You can help by bringing any of the above items to the church during May,
or on the 29th if you wish to help us assemble the kits.
Can we surpass our last year’s total of 33?
