2020 Christian: Self Check

---

Today we extend a very warm welcome to Rev. James Lee from Christ Community Church in East Islip, NY. This year, MRC and CCCEI have built new relationships partnering together for multiple ministry initiatives during the COVID pandemic. In the spring, we joined together for Public Reading of Scripture and we are just wrapping up a fall session of Just Show Up book study, learning from Tim Keller’s Counterfeit Gods. We have been blessed, and it is with great joy that we welcome Pastor James, and his family (Jin and children Isaac and Naomi) today!

Call to Worship – Romans 15:13

One:
May the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing

All:
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit
you may abound in hope!

Song – “The Solid Rock”

Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ Name

Refrain
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

Verse 2
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

Verse 3
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

Verse 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

Song – “It Is Well With My Soul”

Verse 1
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say:
It is well, it is well with my soul

Refrain
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 2
Tho’ Satan should buffet, tho’ trials should come
Let this blessed assurance control:
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul

Verse 3
My sin, O the bliss, of this glorious thought:
My sin not in part but the whole
Was nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Verse 4
And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul!
