Silence for Reflection and Preparation After the benediction, we spend a few moments silently reflecting on the morning’s service. When the music resumes, please join us for conversation and refreshments, which are at the back of the hall.
Welcome to this
gathering of the United Christian Church of Dubai.
We are an evangelical
church committed to glorifying God, which we pursue through growing in our love for Him and for each other.
If you are a first time
visitor we would love to get to know you, so please introduce yourself to us. There is a welcome team at the back of the hall who would be delighted to tell you more about our church and our ministries.

My soul finds rest in God alone my Rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes and I will not be shaken.
Though lips may bless and hearts may curse And lies like arrows pierce me
I’ll fix my heart on righteousness, I’ll look to Him who hears me.
O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.
Find rest, my soul, in God alone amid the world’s temptations When evil seeks to take a hold, I’ll cling to my salvation
Though riches come and riches go, don’t set your heart upon them The fields of hope in which I sow are harvested in heaven
O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.
I’ll set my gaze on God alone and trust in Him completely With every day pour out my soul and He will prove His mercy Though life is but a fleeting breath, a sigh too brief to measure My King has crushed the curse of death and I am His forever
O praise Him, hallelujah, My Delight and my Reward Everlasting, never failing, My Redeemer, my God.

Your glorious cause, O God, engages our hearts May Jesus Christ be known wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves, but for Your renown The cross has saved us so we
Pray Your kingdom come
Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done So that everyone might know Your Name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth Till Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come
Give us Your strength, O God, and courage to speak Perform Your wondrous deeds Through those who are weak
Lord use us as You want, whatever the test By grace we’ll preach Your gospel till our dying breath

James 2:8-14
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

T o H i m W h o i s A b l e
To Him who is able to keep me from falling And present me as spotless before the throne It’s a sure foundation, the rock I am built on
A hope that is certain to carry me home
To Him who is able to save me completely Who has poured out his blood as the offering for sin
And raised me to life by the power of the Spirit And sealed me for heaven to reign there with Him
To Him be the glory Blessing and honour and praise
All saints now adore Him Worship the glorious name
Of Jesus our King
To Him who’s returning to earth in His glory Clothed in His Majesty, splendour and light
And at last we’ll behold him our glorious saviour And forever and ever our worship will rise

Adopted by the Congregation on April 24, 2009
Having been brought by God’s grace to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ we now, in dependence upon His Spirit, resolve to live by faith, and so renew this covenant with each other.
1. We will work and pray for the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Eph 4:3)
2. We will be devoted to one another in brotherly love. With humility and gentleness we will patiently bear with each other, forgiving, encouraging and building one another up, exercising watchfulness over each other and admonishing one another when necessary. (Luke 17:3; Col 3:13; 1 Thes 5:11; 1 Pet 1:22)
3. We will not neglect to gather together, or to pray for ourselves and others. (Col 4:2; Heb 10:25)
4. We promise to bring up our children and youth in the training and instruction of the Lord, and by a pure and loving example to seek the salvation of our family and friends. (Eph 6:4; 1 Pet 3:1)
5. We will rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep, helping to carry each other’s burdens. (Rom 12:15)
6. We will seek, by God’s help, to live carefully in this world, denying ungodliness and worldly passions. We will strive to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, as we wait for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:12; 1 Pet 1:14)
7. We will defend and maintain an evangelical ministry in this church by supporting and upholding:
i.The preaching of the Word of God (2 Tim 4:2) ii.The administration of the Gospel Sacraments (baptism and the Lord’s
Supper) (Acts 2:38; 1 Cor 11:26) iii.The exercise of Church discipline (Matt 18:17; 1 Cor 5:13)
8. We will contribute cheerfully, generously and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations. (Matt 28:19; Luke 12:33; 2 Cor 9:7)
9. We will, when we move from this place, as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen. (2 Cor 13:14)

Fort SAND Classes This week, in Fort SAND, we're starting a new unit called "What is the Church?" This week, all children will be looking at Acts 2 and the church starting in response to the gospel message. Older kids will be learning the truth that "the church is God's people in community." Preschoolers will be focussing all month on the truth that 'God wants us to follow Him.’ The memory verse for the month of May is Acts 1:8 and the challenge verse for this week is Psalm 133:1.
More information about what’s going on this month in Fort SAND: www.uccdkids.com
