SHOUT TO THE LORD FIRST CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS

My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like You, all of my days, I want to praise, the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter, Tower of refuge and strength, let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.
The congregation is invited to the ordination of JP SUNDARARAJAN to the office of Minister of Word and Sacrament. This Classis
worship service will be held at First Reformed, Sunday June 20th at 4:00 p.m. A reception and celebration will follow.
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing, power and majesty, praise to the King, mountains bow down and the sea will
roar, at the sound of Your name, I sing for joy at the work of Your hands, forever I’ll love You forever I’ll stand, nothing Today, as we meet jointly as two congregations, our offering will be appropriately divided. The First Church envelopes will go towards
compares to the promise I have in You. First Church needs/budget, and the Embody envelopes to Embody needs/budget. The loose offering will be divided between the two
congregations. This will essentially defray today’s costs as First Church picks up the tab for the day, AND boost the usual collection for
SERMON Embody significantly. Together we give gratefully.

Volunteers needed. We are scheduling teachers for our FAITH JOURNEYS 1st-5th grade Sunday School. We need approximately 30 peo-

lessons use different mediums to communicate the Word like storytelling, cooking, crafts, video, puppetry, and drama. So if you have an
interest in any of these perhaps you’d be willing to use your interest to benefit our children. Please call Tammy Kleis for more informa-
