Call to Worship

Come, almighty King,
and help us your name to sing,
for you are a God of love.
Come, incarnate Word,
and make known your wonders to our souls,
for you are a God of grace.
Come, holy Comforter,
and bear witness within every heart that we belong to you, for you are a God who creates fellowship.
Come, triune God, that we might love
and adore you all the days of our lives. Amen.

Hymn - “Awesome God”

Verse 1

When He rolls up His sleeves

He ain't just puttin' on the ritz

Our God is an awesome God

There is thunder in His footsteps

And lightning in His fists

Our God is an awesome God

And the Lord wasn't jokin'

When He kicked 'em out of Eden

It wasn't for no reason

That He shed His blood

His return is very close

And so you better be believin'

That our God is an awesome God

Chorus

Our God is an awesome God

He reigns from heaven above

With wisdom pow'r and love

Our God is an awesome God

Verse 2

When the sky was starless

In the void of the night

Our God is an awesome God

He spoke into the darkness

And created the light

Our God is an awesome God

The judgement and wrath

He poured out on Sodom

The mercy and grace

He gave us at the cross

I hope that we have not

Too quickly forgotten

That our God is an awesome God

Praise to the Lord the Almighty

The King of creation

O my soul praise Him

For He is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear now to His temple draw near

Praise Him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord Who over all things

So wondrously reigneth

Shelters thee under His wings

Yea so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been

Granted in what He ordaineth

Praise to the Lord Who doth prosper

Thy work and defend thee

Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do

If with His love He befriend thee

Verse 4

Praise to the Lord

O let all that is in me adore Him

All that hath life and breath

Come now with praises before Him

Let the amen sound from His people again

Gladly for all we adore Him

Verse 1

We have heard the joyful sound

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Bear the news to ev'ry land

Climb the steeps and cross the waves

Onward 'tis our Lord's command

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Waft it on the rolling tide

Tell to sinners far and wide

Sing ye islands of the sea

Echo back ye ocean caves

Earth shall keep her jubilee

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Sing above the battle strife

Jesus saves Jesus saves

By His death and endless life

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Sing it softly thro the gloom

When the heart for mercy caves

Sing in triumph o’er the tomb

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Verse 4

Give the winds a mighty voice

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Let the nations now rejoice

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Shout salvation full and free

Highest hills and deepest caves

This our song of victory

Jesus saves Jesus saves

Benediction

May Benevolence - In His Image Justice Coalition

(Taken from the IHIJC web-site)

IHIJC began in February 2016 as a team of concerned people at First Baptist Church of Mt Holly looking to host an A21 Walk for Freedom. Compelled by the inherent evil of human trafficking and shocked by its presence right in our own backyards, we set out to do something. The enthusiasm of this initial group drove the team to plan other events in addition to the Walk for Freedom. Partnering with other churches and community organizations, In His Image Justice Coalition (IHIJC) was born.

We, at In His Image Justice Coalition, dream of a world without trafficking, where the vulnerable are valued, protected, and lifted up, where the community refuses to live side by side with violence and the degradation of others. We dream of a world where there is no demand for commercial sex. We dream of a community informed to recognize the signs of trafficking, and mobilized to report suspicious activity. We dream of children who are informed of the dangers of trafficking and are able to protect themselves, and of parents, teachers, medical workers, etc. who are also well informed and on the lookout for exploitation, and are willing to provide the love and security that each child needs so that they don’t go looking for it elsewhere. We look to a world where little boys are brought up to value women and to refute the idea that a woman is a commodity to be used. We dream of a place where there is no poverty, no child abuse or neglect, no predators looking to exploit children for their own benefit. We look towards a future where every adult says, concerning human trafficking, “Not on my watch!”.
