God’s Family Worships
6th Sunday of Easter
                                                                           May 22, 2022 – 11:00A.M.                                                                        
Eternal God, we pray to you with a sense of wonder. You are far beyond our ability to comprehend or define, yet you come to us as Parent and Friend. We pray now that you will direct our minds to your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to capture his vision of goodness and truth and love. Enable us to take that spirit of his into our daily round of affairs. Through him, may we live life in a new dimension; and through lives transformed by him, may this broken world find its  way to truth and peace.  Amen.

*Hymn            "Blessed Assurance"      by Fanny Crosby

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
