Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia! Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia! Following our exalted Head, Alleluia! Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia! Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia! Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia! Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

King of glory, soul of bliss, Alleluia! Everlasting life is this, Alleluia! Thee to know, thy power to prove, Alleluia! Thus to sing, and thus to love, Alleluia!

“He’s Alive”

The lamb that was slain He’s alive, Forever He shall reign He’s alive, They crucified Him at Calvary but He

rose in victory. He’s alive, He’s alive, He’s alive, with all power in His name; He’s alive, He’s alive, He’s

alive, with all power in His name. He rose, In glory, With all power, And authority, He conquered, My

enemies, He put them under my feet

“He Got Up”

Death where is thy sting, Sting where is thy grave, Grave where is thy victory, He got up! God raised Him

up! He got up! With all power in His hands

The Confession of Our Faith “The Nicene Creed” Bishop Donald Hilliard, Jr.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true Church, apostolic and universal, whose holy faith let us now reverently

and sincerely declare together:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe

in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true

God from true God, begotten not made, of one Being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and

for our salvation, He came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit He became incarnate from the Virgin

Mary, and was made man. For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried. On

the third day, He arose again in accordance with the scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand

of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end. We

believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and

the Son, He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy universal and

apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Ministry of Giving Offerings Elder Phillip Merriweather “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in My house and try Me now in this, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for

you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10

(All services are subject to change by order of the Holy Spirit.)

No Sunday School TODAY, we will resume Sunday, April 8th !

DEBIT/CREDIT CARD GIVING

(Perth Amboy Only)

During Offering Time,

please stop by 1st Floor

(near elevator) to be served.

The tithe is a biblical principle, calling for us to bring 10% of our increase to the storehouse. The tithe is an expression of our obedience to God.

The offering is your generous giving above and beyond the tithe, the offering is an expression of our faith in God. Your obedience and faith make a difference at Cathedral International!
