Hymn of Acclamation: "Gloria Patri"
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son
And to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen Amen
Hymn of Invocation: "Come, Holy Ghost"
Be not afraid where you go
There I am with you
Come Holy Ghost Creator blest
And in our hearts take up Thy rest
Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid
To fill our hearts which Thou hast made
To fill our hearts which Thou has made
O Comforter to Thee we cry
Thou heav'nly gift of God most high
Thou fount of life and fire of love
And sweet anointing from above
And sweet anointing from above
O Holy Ghost through Thee alone
Know we the Father and the Son
Be this our firm unchanging creed
That Thou dost from them both proceed
That Thou dost from them both proceed
Praise we the Lord Father and Son
And Holy Spirit with them one
And may the Son on us bestow
All gifts that from the Spirit flow
All gifts that from the Spirit flow

Forgiveness of Sin through Christ
"We thank you, O God, for your patience that you have given us for so long and for the grace that now makes us willing to be yours. Unite us to you with inseparable bonds that nothing may ever draw us back from you, our Lord and our Savior."
(From an excerpt prayer “The Gospel Way” from The Valley of Vision)
Hymn of Assurance: "Lamb of God"
You came from heaven's throne
Acquainted with our sorrow
To trade the debt we owe
Your suff'ring for our freedom
The Lamb of God in my place
Your blood poured out my sin erased
It was my death You died
I am raised to life
Hallelujah the Lamb of God
My name upon Your heart
My shame upon Your shoulders
The pow'r of sin undone
The cross for my salvation
There is no greater love
There is no greater love
The Savior lifted up
There is no greater love
Thanking God for What He Has Done
“Lord, we will sing of your love forever;
from age to age our mouths will proclaim your faithfulness.
We are persuaded that your love is established forever;
you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens.” (Psalm 89:1-2)
Giving Our Tithes and Offerings
Would you consider giving to the Thompsons? Justin and Blythe Thompson are former interns at Calvary that now serve as missionaries to the U.S. Army. The Thompson’s son, Wyatt, has a lesion on his brain that is consistent with ALD. Their doctors recommend that Wyatt receives a bone marrow transplant in Minneapolis. Your contribution would help with the travel and medical expenses for Wyatt's care. You may contribute to Calvary but designate it to the Thompsons so those monies get to them.
For updates about Wyatt you may visit:

Hymn of Affirmation: "Hungry"
Hungry I come to You
for I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know
Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all this heart is living for
Broken I run to You
for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know
Your touch restores my life
God Instructs Us through His Word
