Good morning! And thank you for joining our online church service. This is the first Sunday of the month when we would traditionally have our Communion service, celebrating and remembering the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazzareth, who died and came back to life so that he could gift us with eternal life. While we cannot do this together, we hope that you will be able to take a moment and think and reflect on what Christ has done for all of us.

Additional verses to It Is Well With My Soul, penned by the author, Horatio Spafford:
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, ’tis for thee, for thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
Psalm 34
The Lord, a Provider and the One Who Rescues Me.
A Psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out, and he went away.
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.
O magnify the Lord with me,
And let us lift up His name together.
I sought the Lord [on the authority of His word], and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant;
Their faces will never blush in shame or confusion.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
And saved him from all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience],
And He rescues [each of] them.
O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him.
O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones);
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
