Pray for the Church
Praise God for the His Kingdom advancement throughout the world, even in the midst of hardship and persecution.

Thank God for His ongoing presence with us and guidance of our lives. Pray for each of us to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pray we will look for ministry opportunities wherever we are and will make the most of any opportunity with which we are presented. Praise God for His sovereignty over all things.

Jesus Firm Foundation
Verse 1
How firm a foundation you saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word
What more can He say than to you He has said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled
Fear not He is with us O be not dismayed
For He is our God our Sustainer and Strength
He'll be our Defender and cause us to stand
Upheld by His merciful almighty hand
Chorus
How firm our foundation
How sure our salvation
And we will not be shaken
Jesus firm foundation
Verse 2
The soul that is trusting in Jesus as Lord
Will press on enduring the darkest of storm
And though even hell should endeavor to shake
He'll never no never no never forsake
He'll never no never no never forsake

Age to age He stands faithful to the end
All may fade away but He will remain
