Announcements
TODAY:
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
Sunday school classes begin at 11:00. We hope you’ll join us after the service in one of these classes:
Bible Talk with Pastor Isaac: An interactive study for both youth and adults
– Room 302/304
Current topic: What it means to be the Church
This week: What are the God given missions assigned to the Church and how do we live them?
Book of Titus with Paul Eslinger: An interactive bible study for adults
– Room 303/305
Current passage: Titus 1:1-9
This week: Titus 1:2 talks of the hope of eternal life. There are a lot of other “hope” statements in the New Testament. What do they imply? Also, Titus 1:3 says that in due time God manifested his Word through preaching. Due time implies a waiting period… What are some of the main themes that Paul makes for Christians in the Church age that are different than before?

Lay Me Down
Our God
Great Are You Lord
Lay Me Down
Verse 1
With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice
Verse 2
With these hands lifted high
Hear my song hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice
Chorus
I lay me down
I’m not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down lay me down
Oh hand on my heart this much is true
There’s no life apart from You
Lay me down lay me down
Oh lay me down lay me down
Verse 3
Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine
Take this life and let it shine
Bridge
It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way always
Our God
Verse
Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Verse 2
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You
Chorus
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God our God
Bridge
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
What could stand against
Great Are You Lord
Verse 1
You give life You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope You restore
Ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord
Chorus
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only
Bridge
And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry these bones will sing
Great are You Lord

Missionary of the Month
Steve & Mendi Everett
Steve and Mendi have been serving with ABWE since 2001. For 10 years of that time they lived and served in southern Brazil assisting in church planting as well directing a retreat center called Sitio da Esperança. This property was used to offer “like-minded” churches in the area a place for retreats, baptisms, sporting events, training opportunities and classes, Bible study groups, and family events. It was a great way for churches to encourage their flocks and grow in their fellowship. It also was a great way to evangelize through sporting tournaments, youth rallies, and youth/adult retreats.
They are now based in Salem, OR and have an emphasis on partnering with Brasilian ministry workers to further the gospel reach worldwide. They are partnering with them in an effort to reach further into their communities or the communities they work in through teaching English, running sports camps, construction projects, offering specific training modules, or anything else within the skill sets the Lord has given them that aids in reaching others for the Lord. Their desire is to allow their national partners dictate what type of help and ministry is needed.
As a bonus, they get to share these things with churches in the US in hopes of inspiring and encouraging Christians to jump on board with what God is doing around the world. And by “jumping on board” they mean by going on short-term missions trips or contributing financially towards these ministries and national partners.
Steve’s Mom and Grandma are both former members of First Baptist Church. Mendi is also a former member, and attended First Baptist in her jr. high and high school years, so they both have long time ties to this church.
To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Everetts, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.
