Scripture: Joshua 24:1-18
Sermon: “Why Did They Agree to Serve?”
By: Pastor E. David Streets
Good Morning!
What a great day to gather with one another to
worship our Lord!
Today is Youth Sunday. Our young people will lead
us in all of our services of worship today. We will hear
testimonies and messages and learn of the dynamic
things God is doing in their lives as they become
more and more aware of God’s work around them.
Available from our ushers if needed: Assisted hearing devices, large-print hymnals, large print bulletins and children’s
bulletins.
Children are always welcome in our worship services, but if you prefer to use our nursery and toddler room, it is staffed
with caring, trained, and competent adults. Parents are provided with pagers during worship so that we can contact you if
needed while you are in worship and your child is in the nursery. We are a “Safe Sanctuaries” church. All who work with and
care for our children hold Act 33 & 34 clearances through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Handicapped Parking spaces are located in front of the building are designated for people displaying a “handicapped”
placard.
This Week’s Memory Verses:
9:00 & 11:15 a.m.
1 Samuel 7:12
“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying,
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
10:00 a.m.
Matthew 6:25a
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried; the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Safe Within Your Arms
Mark Hayes
Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong, whether I’m weak or whether I’m strong, whether I’m
sure or maybe confused, feeling loved or feeling used: I know a place where I can go, somewhere
that winter winds don’t blow. There I am warmed by loving arms, held with care next to Your
heart. And I’m safe within Y our arms, Lord. I’ve become a child again. I’ve come back to the
source of love, where healing can begin. Though the world would say I must be strong and prove
my worth by what I do, I will rest assured in Your embrace and find my strength in You. Whether
I’m walking in the light or whether I’m stumbling through the night, You are a God whose promise
endures; though undeserved, You love is sure. When I am tempted to pursue plans that may lead
me far away from You, gently You call, “My child, come home.
I will never let go of one of my own.” Refrain
(11:15)
Touch the Sky
What a fortune lies beyond the stars, those dazzling heights too vast to climb. I got so high to fall
so far, but I found heaven as love swept low. My heart beating, my soul breathing. I found my life
when I laid it down. Upward falling, spirit soaring, I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground.
What treasure waits within Your scars. This gift of freedom, gold can’t buy. I bought the world
and sold my heart. You traded heaven to have me again. Find me here at Your feet again.
Everything I am reaching out, I surrender. Come sweep me up in Your love again,
and my soul will dance on the wings of forever.
