Your Name

Yes I Will

Amazing Grace

Your Name

Verse 1
As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your Name

Chorus
Your Name
is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name
let the nations sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name

Verse 2
Jesus in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your Name

Yes I Will

Verse 1
I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won’t fail me now

In the waiting
The same God who’s never late
Is working all things out
You’re working all things out

Chorus
Yes I will lift You high
In the lowest valley
Yes I will bless Your name
Yes I will sing for joy
When my heart is heavy
All my days yes I will

Bridge
I choose to praise
To glorify glorify
The name of all names
That nothing can stand against

End
For all my days
Yes I will

Amazing Grace

Verse 1
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

Verse 2
‘Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus
My chains are gone I’ve been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love amazing grace

Verse 3
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Verse 4
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Scripture

Ephesians 1

 
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Missionary of the Month

Jamie & Lisa Halverson

 

 

 Jamie and Lisa have been missionaries in Papua New Guinea with Wycliffe Bible Translators for the past 14 years.

They provide support for translation through aviation, as Jamie is a pilot. Lisa stays home with and homeschools their 4 kids, Thad (10), Thea (8), Zeke (6), and Ziah (4).

They are currently in Pasco for an indefinite period of time as they wait for God’s provision and leading as to when they can return to Papua New Guinea and visit their supporting churches.

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Halversons, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the Church Center app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.

If you would like to support Jamie and Lisa on a recurring basis, go to their Wycliffe page, enter the recurring amount, click “Give” and there will be additional instructions.

Current praises:
  • UPDATE: we have gotten Ziah’s new passport back
  • being home with family and being able to reconnect with friends and supporters
  • that God has everything under control
Current prayer requests:
  • UPDATE: they are (only) $126 short on monthly support
  • UPDATE: Ziah’s old passport is not back yet, which has his Visa for PNG still in it – pray for a quick return
  • wisdom for recognizing God’s leading in this uncertain time
