For His mercy endures forever.

| Minister | 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them, And I will praise the LORD. |
| People | 20 This is the gate of the LORD, Through which the righteous shall enter. |
| Minister | 21 I will praise You, For You have answered me, And have become my salvation. |
| People | 22 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. |
| Minister | 23 This was the LORD’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. |
| People | 24 This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. |
| Choir & Congregation | He is Lord! He is Lord! He has risen from the dead and He is Lord. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. |

all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the
first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |

| On behalf of the members of Macedonia AME Church I want to welcome you to
the Church and thank you for worshipping with us. We pray that you have been
blessed by your experience with the Lord at our Church home. Feel free to
take this bulletin with you. We have been
blessed by your presence here today.
As you may have noticed, after the message, we make the Invitation to Christian Discipleship. This is the opportunity for those who have not accepted Christ as Savior or who are not sure about their personal salvation to come forward and accept Christ. If you need additional information of have questions regarding what this means, do not hesitate to contact Pastor Paris or a member of the church immediately after the benediction. If you are a visitor seeking a church home, or need the services of a Minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, please contact Pastor Paris. His cell phone is: 972-365-5770, or the church: 972-962-3594, or at home: 817-202-8017. Pastor Paris' email address is: pastor101@hughes.net.
