This Week
Scripture Memory
Pray for the Church
Pray for God to receive the praises of all peoples. Ask God to grow our love and concern for unreached peoples. Pray for their hearts to be softened to the gospel. Pray for God to call out more to join in the work of reaching all peoples with the gospel. Pray for churches to be planted and grown among unreached people groups here in our city, in our country, and around the world.
Pray for the City
This week we are praying for Rock the Block. Rock the Blocks are summer 4-day Backyard Bible Clubs filled with fun, games, and Bible stories dispersed to neighborhoods throughout the city. Rock the Block resources are created by our Children’s Ministry and implemented by our faith family and other churches across the nation to engage neighbors and their children with the gospel. You can find out more at brookhills.org/rocktheblock. We are also praying for Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church and Pastor Brad Allison.
DAY 1: Pray for our passion and sacrifice for missions to be evident locally, beginning right where we live, and for God to be pleased to bless the efforts invested in Rock the Block this year.
DAY 2: Pray each Rock the Block site would have complete, equipped, and enthusiastic teams ready to pour out Biblical wisdom and Christ-like love to their neighbors.
DAY 3: Pray for the 5,000 or more boys and girls who attend Rock the Blocks this summer, through both local and national sites, to hear a clear and powerful presentation of the gospel. And, by God’s grace, may the hearing be met with genuine saving faith.
DAY 4: Pray for hundreds of Gospel conversations to result from these new neighbor-to-neighbor connections.
DAY 5: Pray for our very first ESL Rock the Block, June 19-22, made up of families who have participated in our ESL Ministry this year. Pray for these international families to hear and respond to the Good News.
DAY 6: Praise God for the opportunity to develop the Rock the Block resources for our own church and many other churches across the nation.
Pray for the World
This week we want to spend time praying for our Church Planting Team in Detroit. Last week marked the beginning of Ramadan for 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. For the month of June, Muslims all over the world will fast, pray, and seek to be closer to Allah. Each of our North America Church Planting Teams serve among Muslim people groups. Join us this week as we pray that the Lord would use our Church Planting teams to make Christ known and bring Muslim men and women to himself. We are also praying for our Short-Term teams serving in the Middle East and in East Asia.
DAY 1: Pray for Daniel and Cadie as they serve and lead our Church Planting team in Detroit. Pray for God to continue to open doors for gospel-sharing and for their team to be winsome in their efforts to share Christ.
DAY 2: Pray for culturally sensitive outreach this week among their Muslim friends as Muslims in the Detroit area celebrate Ramadan. Pray for Daniel and Cadie to be invited into homes for meals and to be ready to share the gospel.
DAY 3: Pray for the Word of the Lord to speed ahead and be honored among the Muslim communities in Detroit.
DAY 4: Pray for receptive hearts toward the gospel among their Muslim neighbors this week.
DAY 5: Pray for the students who come to ESL classes where Cadie teaches. Pray for God to save those who are hearing the gospel through Cadie’s influence.
DAY 6: Pray for Daniel and Cadie’s Muslim friends to realize their inability to meet the demands of God’s perfect law. Pray for them to ask Daniel and Cadie about Christ.

This Is Amazing Grace
Verse 1
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory the King above all kings
Verse 2
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory the King above all kings
Chorus
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me
Verse 3
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory the King of Glory
Verse 4
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory the King above all kings
Bridge
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy worthy worthy
Bless the Lord (Son of Man)
Son of Man, Son of Righteousness
King of the earth for sinners slain
I was lost in darkness bound
You ransomed my heart and I will sing
My strength, My deliverer
The One who rescues me
My hope, My redeemer
Your love has set me free
Bless the Lord, O my soul (4x)
In the splendor of Your majesty
From deep within my spirit sings
Holy, holy
Bless the Lord, O my soul (4x)
Man Of Sorrows
Man of sorrows Lamb of God
By His own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
Oh that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honour unto Thee
Silent as He stood accused
Beaten mocked and scorned
Bowing to the Father's will
He took a crown of thorns
Oh that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honour unto Thee
Sent of heaven God's own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah God be praised
He's risen from the grave
Speak O Lord
Verse 1
Speak O Lord as we come to You
To receive the food of Your holy word
Take Your truth plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith
Speak O Lord and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory
Verse 2
Teach us Lord full obedience
Holy reverence true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of power that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief
Verse 3
Speak O Lord and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us
Speak O Lord till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory
Now Why This Fear
Verse 1
Now why this fear and unbelief
Has not the Father put to grief
His spotless Son for us
And will the righteous Judge of men
Condemn me for that debt of sin
Now canceled at the cross
Chorus
Jesus all my trust is in Your blood
Jesus You've rescued us
Through Your great love
Verse 2
Complete atonement You have made
And by Your death have fully paid
The debt Your people owed
No wrath remains for us to face
We're sheltered by Your saving grace
And sprinkled with Your blood
Bridge
How sweet the sound of saving grace
How sweet the sound of saving grace
Christ died for me
Verse 3
Be still my soul and know this peace
The merits of your great High Priest
Have bought your liberty
Rely then on His precious blood
Don't fear your banishment from God
Since Jesus sets you free
