BLESSED ASSURANCE, JESUS IS MINE

Verse 1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is Mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salva on, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. Chorus 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. Verse 2 Perfect submission, perfect delight! Visions of rapture now burst on my sight, Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. (Repeat chorus) Verse 3 Perfect submission all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and wai ng, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. (Repeat chorus)

HYMN OF PRAISE & UNISON SCRIPTURE
Some me later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9 Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food.
Confession of Sins
Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and keep us ever mindful of Thy great sacrice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and worship giving Your name the praise forevermore. ******
To All Our Visitors ... To all who mourn and need comfor ng ... To all who are friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need libera on; and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for coming and may God bless you.
lmighty and Most Merciful Father, we come before You, acknowledging our sins, our shortcomings, and our breaking of our Covenant with You. Not only have we done things we ought not have done, said things we ought not to have said, le undone so many things we ought to have done and been silent when we should have witnessed for You.
Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have also closed our eyes and pretended not to see the injus ces, the racism, and the evil which pervade our everyday lives. We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for libera on which come from the lips, lives and hearts of the opressed even our own Black brothers and sisters!

July Levi cus 25:6-7 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for youfor yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten. August Levi cus 25:8 8 Count o seven sabbath yearsseven mes seven yearsso that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years.

January Levi cus: 25:10 10 Consecrate the ieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan. February: Levi cus 25:1 1 The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai, March Levi cus 25:2 2 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD. April Levi cus 25:3 3 For six years sow your elds, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. May Levi cus 25:4-5 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your elds or prune your vineyards. 5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.

June Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the cap ves, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
