WELCOME
MP 719 We are moving
We are moving on into
a deep appreciation
of the love which flows from Father out
to every child of God;
of the grace with which He handles
every minute situation,
how He wants the best for everyone
who gives to Him his all.
Grace it seems is all He has,
and one big open heart;
and it’s so good
being loved by You, my Lord.
We will know and understand
His purposes more clearly,
O the mystery of the things He does
in making us more whole.
With his love He woos us,
by His grace He sets us free;
we can only trust Him
and just hold on to His hand.
Grace it seems….

Children’s Song Praise 268 Father God
Father God, I wonder how I managed to exist
Without the knowledge of Your parenthood and Your loving care
Now I am Your son, I am adopted in Your family and I can never be alone
‘Cause Father God, You’re there beside me
I will sing Your praises
I will sing Your praises
I will sing Your praises forever more
I will sing Your praises
I will sing Your praises
I will sing Your praises forever more
Reading. Galatians 3:26 – 4:7
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptised into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Praise 244
God of glory, we exalt your name,
you who reign in majesty;
we lift our hearts to you
and we will worship, praise and magnify
your holy name.
In power resplendent
you reign in glory,
eternal King, you reign for ever.
Your word is mighty,
releasing captives;
your love is gracious,
you are my God.

Abba Father, let me be,
Yours and Yours alone
May my will forever be,
Evermore Your own.
Never let my heart grow cold,
Never let me go.
Abba Father let me be,
