Prelude

Hymn of Praise UMH # 370

“Victory In Jesus”

Affirmation

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in

Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead,

and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he

shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the

holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the

beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen! Amen!

Special Recognition

Morning Prayer / The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the

kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Today’s Scripture

I Knew You Could Do It

~Acts 12:12-17

12 Realizing this, he made his way to Mary’s house. (Mary was John’s mother; he

was also known as Mark.) Many believers had gathered there and were pray-

ing. 13 When Peter knocked at the outer gate, a female servant named Rhoda went to

answer. 14 She was so overcome with joy when she recognized Peter’s voice that she

didn’t open the gate. Instead, she ran back in and announced that Peter was stand-

ing at the gate.15 “You’ve lost your mind!” they responded. She stuck by her story

with such determination that they began to say, “It must be his guardian angel.” 16 Meanwhile, Peter remained outside, knocking at the gate. They finally opened the

gate and saw him there, and they were astounded. 17 He gestured with his hand to

quiet them down, then recounted how the Lord led him out of prison.

Carol Dean Schreiner has presented her inspiring & humorous messages in 37 states,

Canada, & cruise ships in various parts of the world,

sharing God’s love & encouraging others.

She has led many groups and is especially involved with Senior Adults.

She lives in Oklahoma.

Special thanks to the Nancy Tillman, the author

of “I Knew You Could Do It” for allowing us to use her

book for our Devotional Guide & Stewardship theme.

“I Knew You Could Do It” is now available on

Amazon; Barnes & Noble; and Books-A-Million.

These would make great gifts of encouragement for

children & grandchildren.
