Welcome

Welcome to Hapeville United Methodist Church!

We are so glad you chose to worship with us today and we are excited about all the things God has been doing and will do in our congregation!

Lives are being changed by the power of God. There can be little doubt that we have very little power on our own for lasting change to happen in our lives, yet when we choose to allow the Lord to lead and guide us, amazing things can happen.

1 The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. 2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. 3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 4 Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.” 5 And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. 6 Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8 A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that The Lord was calling the boy. 9 So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Strong Enough

You must You must think I'm strong To give me what I'm going through Well, forgive me forgive me if I'm wrong But this looks like more than I can do On my own Chorus I know I'm not strong enough to be Everything that I'm supposed to be I give up I'm not strong enough Hands of mercy won't you cover me Lord right now I'm asking you to be Strong enough Strong enough For the both of us Well, maybe, maybe that's the point To reach the point of giving up 'Cause when I'm finally, finally at rock bottom Well, that's when I start looking up And reaching out Chorus I know I'm not strong enough to be Everything that I'm supposed to be I give up I'm not strong enough Hands of mercy won't You cover me Lord right now I'm asking you to be Strong enough Strong enough For the both of us

The Power of Your Love

Lord I come to You Let my heart be changed, renewed Flowing from the grace That I've found in You Lord I've come to know The weaknesses I see in me Will be stripped away By the pow’r of Your love Chorus Hold me close Let Your love surround me Bring me near Draw me to Your side And as I wait I'll rise up like the eagle And I will soar with You Your Spirit leads me on In the pow’r of Your love Lord unveil my eyes Let me see You face to face The knowledge of Your love As You live in me Lord renew my mind As Your will unfolds in my life In living ev’ry day By the pow’r of Your love Chorus Hold me close Let Your love surround me Bring me near Draw me to Your side And as I wait I'll rise up like the eagle And I will soar with You Your Spirit leads me on In the power of Your love
