WHAT TO PRAY THIS WEEK
Speaker: Patrick Belshe

Pray for those who will lead in worship:
Garold Syring-the Worship Ministry team
Patrick Belshe
Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in our corporate gatherings, leading us to exalt Jesus Christ.
Pray that CCC will grow in Christ-exalting, Kingdom advancing ministry in 2025.
Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many.
Pray that we will become a house of prayer.
Pray that we will pursue lost people as Jesus did (Luke 19:10)
 
Patrick’s sermon this Sunday is entitled: “The Secret Shall Be Known” using Luke 8/:16-18 as his text.
 
16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”
 
Beauty in Worship
‘Beauty and His Works’
 
Wherever it is possible, and appropriate, our striving for beauty ought to be in earnest. Opulence in the adoration of his name could not be an overstatement. At times, however, just a touch of beauty will add immeasurably to our environment for worship.

This Sunday's Music As we prepare for corporate worship, meditate on the lyrics from some of our songs of worship. Listen to them on our website below 
 
SONGS OF WORSHIP
As for Me and My House

 Pre-worship
‘As for me and my house’
‘To God Be The Glory’
‘Here I Am To Worship’
‘O Lord, You’re Beautiful’
Listen to the songs on our website under the menu heading ‘Preparation for Worship’.
Oh, choose you this day whom you will serve;
The kingdom of heaven or the powers of earth.
Has He not spoken? Have you not heard?
There is but one true God.
 
The God of our fathers set us free.
His Son paid the price for our covenant peace.
Through generations His mercy speaks.
We trust in the one true God.
 
As for me and my house, we will serve, serve the Lord.
As for me and my house, we will serve the lord our God.
 
This house is the Lord’s and all within.
May we be pleasing and holy to Him.
Joined by His Spirit His people sing:
Great is the one true God!
Oh, great is the living God!
 
As for me and my house, we will serve, serve the Lord.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord our God
 
Oh, praise the Father, praise the Son,
praise the Spirit now in us.
Let every heart and every tongue praise the one true God.
Oh, praise the Father, praise the Son,
praise the Spirit now in us.
Let every hear and every tongue praise the one true God.
 
As for me and my house, we will serve, serve the Lord.
As for me and my house, we will serve the lord our God.
As for me and my house, we will serve the lord our God.
As for me and my house, we will serve the lord our God.

To God Be the Glory
1 To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
so loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
and give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to ev'ry believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. [Refrain]
3 Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. [Refrain]

Here I Am to WorshipLight of the World, You stepped down into darkness,
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You,
Hope of a life spent with You.
 
And here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.
 
King of all days, oh so highly exalted,
Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly You came to the Earth you created,
All for love’s sake became poor.
 
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
And You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
And You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.
 
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
 
So, here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
And You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that You’re my God.
And You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me.

O Lord, You’re Beautiful
 
Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.
