Thank you for all your prayers, cards, visits, food, and beautiful tulip plant! Surgery went well and healing is taking place. Praise God! ~Roger
The United States incarcerates more people than any other country in the world. African-American men face a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in their lifetime, compared to 1 in 17 for white men. Do you want to find out why? Consider participating in The New Jim Crow project from Mennonite Central Committee U.S. Designed for small groups and Sunday school classes, the program guides you through the history and implementation of mass incarceration in the U.S. and provides actions and solutions. Materials are provided free of charge. For more information, visit mcc.org/new-jim-crow-project or contact Joshua Russell in the MCC U.S. Washington Office: joshuarussell@mcc.org
“He said “Love…as I have loved you.”
We cannot love too much.

LOOKING IN HEAVEN’S MIRROR
Ephesians 1:3-10, 4:8-10
The world assigns personal value according to the utility factor. Value depends on productivity; significance is derived from performance. But in the Scriptures we find a different perspective on our significance.
I. YOU ARE A HANDCRAFTED _______________________ OF THE LORD.
II. A second measure of your worth is THE MIRROR OF _________________________.
III. Thirdly, God wants you to experience the significance which comes from THE STEWARDSHIP OF ________________________________.
Our challenge is to become heaven’s mirror for those around us, letting them see that they are a precious treasure, loved and cherished by God, redeemed by Jesus’ blood, and a part of the kingdom of the Son.
HOSANNA (PRAISE IS RISING)
Praise is raising, eyes are turning to You. We turn to You.
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You; We long for you.
'Cause when we see You we find strength to face the day,
and in Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away.
Chorus
Hosanna, Hosanna, You are the God who saves us.
You're worthy of all our praise.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Come have Your way among us.
We welcome You here Lord Jesus.
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You. We turn to You.
In Your kingdom broken lives are made new. You make all things new.
'Cause when we see You we find strength to face the day,
and in Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away.
All Creatures of Our God and King David Crowder
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise Him, alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him, O praise Him, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along
O praise Him, alleluia
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening find a voice
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him, alleluia
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia! Alleluia, Alleluia, alleluia

GOOD GOOD FATHER Pat Barrett, Anthony Brown
I’ve heard a thousand stories Of what they think You’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper Of love in the dead of night and You
Tell me that You’re pleased and that I’m never alone
Chorus
You’re a good, good Father, it’s who You are, it’s who You are,
It’s who You are.
And I’m loved by You; It’s who I am, it’s who I am It’s who I am
I’ve seen many searching for Answers far and wide, but I know we’re all
Searching for answers only You provide because
You know just what we need before We say a word
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways To us
This Love so undeniable; I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable; I can hardly think as You
Call me, deeper still as You
Call me deeper still as You
Call me deeper still into love
Love, love
LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO (So Amazing) KELLER
God of glory You have made all things, all things
Who am I that You would think of me, of me
For You made the earth, You made the stars
Yet You know my name; You know my heart
You’re always there; You’re never far away
So amazing as You paint the sky
So amazing, makes me wonder why
You love me like You do
You love me like You do
That You love me like You do
So amazing, so amazing
I see the birds ride on the winds, they fly so high
Mountain peaks so tall they seem to touch the sky
Creation calls Your name above
Yet in Your mercy and Your love
You came to give Your life that I might live
