| Minister: |
Almighty God, unto who all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom
no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy Holy Name; through Christ Jesus, our Lord. AMEN. |
| Minister & Congregation |
Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. AMEN |
| Minister: | I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem! |
| People: | For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of the wicked. |
| Minister: | Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good. |
| People: | Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
| Minister: | Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house, Lord I have loved thy habitation; the place where thy honor dwelleth. |
| People: | For the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silent before Him. |
| Minister: | Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. |
| People: | O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth and sing praises. |
| 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 things come of Thee O Lord . . . And of Thine own, have we given Thee. AMEN. |

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.
