Meditation, “The Way of Christ”
Hymn, "The Solid Rock"
Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
Chorus
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
Verse 2
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Verse 3
His oath His covenant His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
Verse 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

Benediction
March Benevolence - America for Christ
For the Purpose of Equipping Saints
“Thanks to America for Christ (AFC) Offering contributions, American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) supported communities distressed by the devastation of COVID-19 last year, as the pandemic swept our country and Puerto Rico. We also helped families who lost homes to floods, wildfires and storms, along with children living on the edge because of poverty, and seminarians preparing to devote their lives to sharing the Good News. These are just a few of the ways we minister to those in need; there are many more.”
“Throughout the New Testament, we learn that the earliest Christian congregations expressed their connectedness and community by means of mutual aid. The local church assisted individuals in need and so built the connection. Scattered congregations in one region assisted congregations in crisis in other regions and so strengthened the sense that there is one universal church, one body in Christ.”
“Through our gifts today, in a time of crisis and division, we, too, exhibit this core value. Mirroring the grace of the One who has called us to live lives filled with gratitude, we extend generosity and love in material and tangible ways to signify the common spiritual bond we enjoy. We incarnate the proclamation that we are one. We are in different rooms but no less a part of the same household—members, indeed, of the same body.”
The Rev. Dr. Leslie D. Callahan is pastor of St. Paul’s Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
