Hymn #564
Count Your Blessings

Invocation ~

Receiving of Tithes and Offerings ~
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

We Worship in Song ~
Hymn #475
Like a River Glorious
There's a River of Life
I've got a river of life flowing out of me, Makes the lame to walk and the
blind to see; Opens prison doors, sets the captives free, I've got a river of life
flowing out of me.
Spring up, O well within my soul! Spring up, O well and make me whole.
Spring up, O well, and give to me that life abundantly.
