 GREETING
What makes a nation?
It is not gold, or sword, or crown alone, but the grace of God at work.
It is a brave people ready to risk all for Liberty.
Because they know God is calling.
● HYMN OF PRAISE “America the Beautiful”
No. 696
● THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come
to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
● GLORIA PATRI
No. 71
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Amen.

FUN AND CHRIST-FOCUSED MISSION TRIPS IN APPALACHIA
If you would like to help sponsor
a youth for our upcoming
Service/Mission Trip through
TeamEffort, to Copperhill, TN,
July 24-29, please fill out and
include your donation in the
envelopes provided and put them
in the offering plates. Thank you!
Youth groups will experience an unforgettable week of hands-on mission
projects, exciting music and programs, and group-building high adventure
activities. Our Copperhill camp is located in Tennessee, just miles from
Georgia and North Carolina, allowing for service projects in all three states.
Youth groups have the opportunity to reach out and minister in these areas
where closed businesses and industries have left people with little means
to provide for their families. Mission trip work focuses on home repair and
renovation; however, it is the relationships formed with those served that
will be remembered forever.

missions). Everyone is an artist, so don’t be afraid to draw or be
creative. A cover dish supper will kick off our exhibit that night.

bring to our event.

us with it, and Page will host the Community Thanksgiving Service
on November 20.
