LCS TEACHER-STAFF CARDS
If you have grabbed a card for LCS staff already, thank you!
If you have returned your card along with a coffee card, thank you!
If you have not taken the opportunity yet, there are still encouragement cards available for you to pick up on Sunday! We want to have every card returned ASAP so we can gift these to the staff.
There are THREE easy steps to this process!
1. Pick up a card at the Connect Table, and write a note of encouragement
2. Buy a $20 gift card at any Tri-Cities coffee shop
3. Drop your notecard and coffee gift in the drop box at the bookkeeper’s office on or before Sunday, March 27.
(We are going to be packaging these cards for delivery on March 28.)
Note:
• If a coffee card is a stretch for your budget, please write on a card and return it anyway. Your words of support are valuable!
• If you can provide more than one $20 coffee card, we will match it up with another encouragement card as needed.

Happy Day
Here Again
Healer
Made Alive
Happy Day
Verse 1
The greatest day in history
Death is beaten You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross the empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He’s alive
Chorus
And oh happy day happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed
Verse 2
When I stand in that place
Free at last meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He’s alive
Bridge
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
And oh what a glorious day
What a glorious name
Here Again
Verse 1
Can’t go back to the beginning
Can’t control what tomorrow will bring
But I know here in the middle
Is the place where you promise to be
Chorus
I’m not enough unless you come
Will you meet me here again
‘Cause all I want is all you are
Will you meet me here again
Verse 2
As I walk now through the valley
Let your love rise above every fear
Like the sun shaping the shadow
In my weakness your glory appears
Bridge
Not for a minute was I forsaken
The Lord is in this place
The Lord is in this place
Come Holy Spirit dry bones awaken
The Lord is in this place
The Lord is in this place
Healer
Verse 1
You said if we believe
Then greater things would come
So pour Your Spirit out
Like a river like a flood
Deliver every heart
Body soul and mind
All the darkness bows
Before the feet of Christ
Chorus
The Healer’s in this place
The Healer’s in this place
Jesus You are moving in our praise
There’s freedom in Your name
There’s freedom in Your name
Jesus You are Healer in this place
Verse 2
You said if we believe
We would see Your kingdom come
So pour Your Spirit out
Come and let Your will be done
You’ve defeated death
And You remain our living hope
We believe Your Word
You’re the God of miracles
Bridge
Let the blind see all Your glory
Let the dead rise testifying
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
Let the mourning turn to dancing
Fear is silenced in our praising
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
Ending
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
Made Alive
Verse 1
I once was dead in sin alone and hopeless
A child of wrath I walked condemned in darkness
But Your mercy brought new life
And in Your love and kindness
Raised me up with Christ and made me righteous
Chorus
You have bought me back with the riches of
Your amazing grace and relentless love
I’m made alive forever with You life forever
By Your grace I’m saved
(By Your grace I’m saved)
Verse 2
Lord You are the light that broke the darkness
You satisfy my soul when I am heartless
If ever I forget my true identity
Show me who I am and help me to believe
Bridge
My sin has been erased
I’ll never be the same
Sermon Study Guide
FBC Richland: Who We Are (Week Ten)
Pastor Tim Walker
1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,
2 with all humility and gentleness,
with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 But grace was given
to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.”
9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
Ephesians 4:1-16 ESV
41 Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.
1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.
2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.
3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty.
4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch.
6 These they set before
the apostles, and they prayed and laid their
hands on them.
7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Acts 5:41-6:7 ESV

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together.
“Rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.
