“Celebrating Family”

Call to Worship “Blessed Be Your Name” by Beth and Matt Redman

Verse 1: Blessed be Your Name, in the land that is plentiful

Where Your streams of abundance flow, Blessed be Your Name

Blessed be Your Name, When I’m found in the desert place

Though I walk through the wilderness, Blessed be Your Name

Pre-Chorus: Every blessing You pour out, I’ll turn back to praise

When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say

Chorus: Blessed be the Name of the Lord, Blessed be Your Name

Blessed be the Name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious Name

Verse 2: Blessed be Your Name, When the sun’s shining down on me

When the world’s all that it should be, Blessed be Your Name

Blessed be Your Name, On the road marked with suffering

Though there’s pain in the offering, Blessed be Your Name (Pre-Chorus, Chorus)

Bridge: You give and take away; You give and take away.

My heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be Your Name. (2x) (Chorus 2x) Copyright EMI Christian Music Publishing Used by permission CCLI #796382

Stonewall Jackson Retreat Center. The church picnic last Sunday at the city park.

From Eileen Mayer: “Could you ask people to pray for Germany and the refugee

situation. Two days ago, 8,000 refugees moved in to Munich, 2,000 into Dusseldorf... In

this year, Germany has agreed to accept into citizenship 800,000 more refugees. There

are only 8 million Germans. Can you imagine, every 10th person living here soon will

be a refugee. Pray the Lord will bless Germany for welcoming these people and that

good will come out of it for the refugees and the Germans. The refugees come from a

Muslim country - but many are open to Christianity! Pray that Christians will so

manifest the love of the Lord, that it will draw these people - who are experiencing

massive change - to Him. – Eileen Mayer

In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 13.3 minutes, claiming more than

39,500 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute, with close

to one million people attempting suicide annually. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of

death in the U.S. among adults 18-65, the second leading cause of death among teens

and young adults, and individuals ages 65 and older account for 16 percent of all suicide

deaths. This is a public health issue that does not discriminate by

age, gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status.

Walk to save lives…

Suicide is a national health problem that takes an enormous toll on family, friends,

co-workers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of

suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety of educational, outreach,

awareness, advocacy and fundraising programs.

Walk to honor loved ones…
