ABOUT TODAY’S MUSIC Anthem Blessed Assurance Words: Fanny Crosby Music: Phoebe Knapp Arrangement: Camp Kirkland Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of His spirit, washed in His blood. Refrain 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 blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Journeymen Update Are you a DIY’er… a do-it-yourself person? There’s so much to appreciate about the satisfaction of a completed project, but do you ever wish you had an extra pair of hands? Or, worse, did you ever get an outcome you didn’t want and didn’t know how to fix it? This is the place in which the Lost/Prodigal Son found himself. We’ll be studying his dilemma AND his solution in this week's discussion of Awakening to Help…the third section of our book Finding Your Way Back to God. Join us on Tuesday at 7:00am or Thursday at 4:00pm!

The Cradle Cross and rose on the altar today are in honor of Elliott Mauzy McManus Scircle, born to Adam & Melissa Scircle on September 26, 2019.
