“The Bond of Love, stz.2”
Let us sing now, ev’ry one;
Let us feel His love begun.
Let us join our hands that the world will know
We are one in the bond of love.
#46 “All Things Bright and Beautiful” Spohr
All things bright and beautiful, all things great and small,
All things wise and wonderful; our Father made them all.
Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings;
He made their glowing colors, he made their tiny wings.
Cold wind in the winter, pleasant summer sun,
Ripe fruits in the garden; he made them every one.
He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell
How good is God our Father who doeth all things well.
#53 “In His Time” Ball
In His time, (in His time), in His time (in His time);
He makes all things beautiful in His time (in His time).
Lord, please show me every day as you’re teaching me your way,
That you do just what you say in your time (in Your time).
In Your time (in Your time), in Your time (in Your time);
You make all things beautiful in Your time (in Your time).
Lord, my life to You I bring; may each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing in Your time (in Your time).

If my people will humble themselves, humble themselves and pray;

I will hear from heaven, and heal their land.
Lord, heal our land; Father, heal our land.
Hear our cry and turn our nation back to You.
Lord, heal our land; hear us O Lord, and heal our land.
Forgive our sin and heal our broken land.
Lord, we bow our knee, we humble ourselves, humble ourselves and pray;
Lord, we seek Your face, we humble ourselves, and turn from our wicked ways.
Father, in Your mercy, forgive our sin.
Father in Your mercy, come heal our land.
O beautiful for men of faith who founded this great land; proclaimed for us,
“In God we trust,” and held to God’s strong hand. America! America!
God shed His grace on thee till lives confess

To My Church Family: Thank you for all the cards, thoughts and prayers during my surgeries and recovery times. It is nice to know that I have a such a loving and caring church friends. These things helped me get through these difficult times. Thanks again, Bobby
Jones
Dear Church Family, I feel blessed to have such a thoughtful and caring church family. Thank you for the cards and other expressions of sympathy following the death of my brother. I am appreciative of you all and find much joy in our relationship as brothers and sisters in Christ. Most sincerely, Joyce Hall
The Hymn of the Month for September is Hymn #8 – “A Mighty
Fortress Is Our God” . The tune and text are attributed to none other than the great protestant reformer Martin Luther. Luther and the subsequent Lutheran church, more or less invented the “hymn” as we know it today. In Luther’s time, sacred music, at least the parts sung by the congregation, was very scripted, limited and all in
Latin. The Lutheran invention of the “hymn” with several stanzas gave the Lutheran church an opportunity to stress their theological beliefs as well as to worship God together. The hymn was meant to be a song sung in the homes and at work as well as in the church. This is one of the greatest hymns of the Christian faith.
Open invitation – young and not-so young! This is an invitation for all who like music to take part in the music ministry at
GABC. This Wednesday, our children’s music programs gear up again for the year. At 6:20 p.m., the Children’s Chime Choir will rehearse. Any children in grades 2-5 are welcome to join us. Then at 6:30 p.m., the Children’s Choir will rehearse.

If you are not quite young enough to join the Children’s Choir, we have a choir for you! The Sanctuary Choir rehearses at 7:30 p.m. each Wednesday. Please join us! All we require is a love for music
– the rest you can learn.
Youth Excel will begin next Wednesday night, September 17, with a focus on missions. We will talk about potential mission trips as well as local mission projects. We will meet in the Youth Room directly following dinner. Dinner will begin at 5:45, followed by our Youth Meeting at 6:30.
