All the saints and angels
They bow before Your throne
And all the elders cast their crowns
Before the Lamb of God and sing
You're worthy of it all
You're worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory
Be exalted now in the Heavens
As Your glory fills this place

Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
At The Foot of the Cross
At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me your love
Through the judgment you received
And you've won my heart
And you've won my heart, now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death you bore for me
And you've won my heart
And you've won my heart, now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross
And you've won my heart
And you've won my heart, now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
I trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
I lay every burden down, every burden
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
Do It Again
Walking around these walls
I thought by now they'd fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle's won
For You have never failed me yet
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence
You've never failed me yet
I know the night won't last
Your word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again
Jesus You're still enough
Keep me within Your love, oh
My heart will sing Your praise again
(Oh, yes, it will)
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence
You've never failed
Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands
This is my confidence
You've never failed me yet
Never failed me yet
Oh, oh-oh
I've seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe I'll see You do it again
I've seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe I'll see You do it again
I've seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe I'll see You do it again

Oh, You've never failed me yet
And I never will forget
You've never failed me yet
And I never will forget
Cannons
It's falling from the clouds
A strange and lovely sound
I hear it in the thunder and rain
It's ringing in the skies
Like cannons in the night
The music of the universe plays
We're singing, You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are
Beautiful and free
The song of galaxies
Reaching far beyond the Milky Way
Let's join in with the sound
Come on, let's sing it out
As the music of the universe plays
Singing, You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of You
All glory, honor, power is Yours, amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours, amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours, forever, amen
You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of You
And You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great you are!

Liturgical Worship Readings
Daily Prayer;
Help me pay attention today.
I want to be so acutely aware of Your presence in every space.
Help me notice beauty that doesn't beg for applause, conversations that carry Your kindness, and the still, small ways You're working beneath the surface.
Let my feet be rooted, not rushed.
Let my heart be soft, not guarded.
And let my soul remember that You waste nothing—not even times of slowing down.
What word or phrase stands out for you today? What do you think God is saying to you?
Psalm 86
A prayer of David.
1
Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.2
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; 3 have mercy on me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.4
Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
for I put my trust in you.5
You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.6
Hear my prayer, Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.7
When I am in distress, I call to you,
because you answer me.8
Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.9
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.10
For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.11
Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.12
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.13
For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.

SERMON NOTES
GP Mission: We are a community established on experiencing the life-giving grace and peace found in knowing Christ.
"We participate in God's mission as a people. There's individual actions, there's individual moments, but ultimately, this is a symphony." -- MARK SAYERS
Preaching/Teaching; We typically preach through the weekly passages of Revised Common Lectionary
Title: “Child of God”
Sermon by Nate Wells
Romans 8:18-25 (New Revised Standard Version)
Future Glory
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now; 23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
“The soul finds rest when it no longer has to manage outcomes. The people I know that are rested in their souls are not the people who have everything go the way they want it to go. They are people who have somehow become free of the need of having it go the way they want it to go.”
Dallas Willard

Reflection Questions
What outcome have you been trying to control?
What burden are you carrying that really belongs in your Father’s hands?
Where has disappointment slowly turned into hopelessness?
Have you been focusing more on what is temporary than on what God has promised?
This week, choose one burden you’ve been carrying.
Instead of replaying it over and over in your mind…
Give it back to your Father every day.
Pray: “Father, I don’t know how You’re going to work this out, but I trust You because I belong to You.”
Blessing…
Rejoice in knowing that we never walk alone.
Know the grace and peace of Christ walking beside us, guiding and protecting us.
Share this comfort with one another and feel his presence each moment of each day. Amen
Lasting Change Haiti
The option to give toward the ministry we partner with in Haiti is always available…
God is at work in Haiti, and we’re grateful to share just a few of the wonderful things God allowed our team to accomplish this past week through your support and generosity.
Successful crops from all the beans that went out to churches and families
New roof for a church in need in Fond Lantanier
Bibles for Pastor Wilson’s Church
Microfinance loans for widows to start small business
Thanks to the funds you sent, the outreach was a huge blessing. We were able to purchase gas, water, and supplies—and most meaningfully, we bought Bibles. With support from LCH and the local church, they are now walking in new obedience and joy.
