WHAT TO PRAY THIS WEEK
This Sunday's Speaker Nate Butler
1. Pray for those who will lead in worship
◦ Garold Syring
◦ Interim Pastor: Nate Butler
◦ the Worship Ministry
2. Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in our corporate gatherings, leading us to exalt Jesus Christ.
3. Pray that CCC will grow in Christ-exalting, Kingdom advancing ministry in 2019.
4. Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many.
5. Pray that we will become a house of prayer.
Our interim Pastor, Nate Butler will be speaking this Sunday. His message is entitled: ‘How to be wise with wealth’. He will be using James 5:1-6 as his text:
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.
Prepare yourself for worship as you enter the sanctuary Sunday morning. It is very important that we take time to prepare our hearts to worship God before we set foot in the sanctuary on Sunday morning. God made this clear amid the awesome circumstances of the giving of the law in Exodus 19. God called the people to prepare to come into His presence, or near His presence, but not actually onto the mountain where He would speak to Moses. "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people" (Exodus 19:10-11). God wanted the people of Israel, before they come near to Him, to get ready to come near to Him, to prepare themselves for an encounter with Him.
“There are a million ways to shatter the image of God, and one way to restore it.”

SONGS OF 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 on ‘preparing for worship’.
Pre-worship
Lift High the Name of Jesus
-Call to Worship-
-Praise and Adoration-
‘Until Then’
‘Like a River Glorious’
‘It Is Well With My Soul’
‘Isn’t He’
Lift High the Name of Jesus
Lift high the name of Jesus, of Jesus, our King.
Make know the power of His grace, the beauty of His peace.
Remember how His mercy reached and we cried out to Him?
He lifted us to solid ground, to freedom from our sin.
O sing, my soul, and tell all He's done
'til the earth and heavens are filled with His glory!
Lift high the name of Jesus, of Jesus, our Lord.
His power in us is greater than, is greater than this world.
To share the reason for our hope, to serve with love and grace;
That all who see Him shine through us might bring the Father praise.
O sing, my soul, and tell all He's done
'til the earth and heavens are filled with His glory!
Lift high the name of Jesus, of Jesus, our Light.
No other name on earth can save, can raise a soul to life.
He opens up our eyes to see the harvest He has grown;
We labor in His fields of grace as He leads sinners home.
O sing, my soul, and tell all He's done
'til the earth and heavens are filled with His glory!
O sing, my soul, and tell all He's done
'til the earth and heavens are filled with His glory!

Until Then
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that’s winding always upward-
This troubled world is not my final home.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I’ll carry on.
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
The things of earth will dim an lose their value,
If we recall, they’re borrowed for awhile;
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remembered there, will only bring a smile.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I’ll carry on.
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife;
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon-
When it’s released, it’s destined for the skies.
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I’ll carry on.
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.

Like A River Glorious
Like a river glorious Is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious In its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it flowerth Fuller every day;
Perfect, yet it growth Deeper all the way.
Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.
Hidden the hollow Of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, Never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry Touch the spirit there.
Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.
Every joy or trial Falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial By the Sun of Love;
We may trust him fully All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly Find Him wholy true.
Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.

It Is Well with My SoulWhen peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”
It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.
My sin- oh, the bliss of this glorious thought:
My sin-not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,
“Even so,” it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Isn’t He
Isn’t He beautiful? Beautiful, isn’t He? Prince of Peace, Son of god, isn’t He?
Isn’t He wonderful? Wonderful, isn’t He? Counselor, Almighty god, isn’t He, isn’t
He, isn’t He?
