NEEDS LIST
Christmas Season 2015
Announcements
Mutual aid request.
I have always been impressed with how our church loves and supports
each other. Our mutual aid fund needs to be replenished so that we are in
a position where we can respond to the needs in our congregation.
Hopefully you will consider an end-of-the-year gift to this very
worthwhile fund.
Gloria Schwartz
Mutual aid advocate

Mennonite Church USA for a number of years. His address is: Eldon

COME AND FILL ME UP
I can feel You flowing through me
Holy Spirit come and fill me up
Come and fill me up
Brian Doerksen
Love and mercy fill my senses
I am thirsty for Your presence Lord
Come and fill me up
Lord let your mercy
Wash away all of my sins
Fill me completely with
Your love once again
I need You, I want You
I love Your presence
I need You, I want You
I love Your presence

MIGHTY TO SAVE Reuben Morgan, Ben Fielding
Everyone needs compassion
A love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations
Savior, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me, All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King Jesus
HWB 332 BLESSED ASSURANCE
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest.
I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,
Watching and waiting looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well; it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.
My sin, Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought,
My sin not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend,
“Even so,” it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.
