All right, let's pray. Father, we thank you so much for this day. Thank you for giving us a privilege to come to church, Lord, to meet together, to hear the preaching of your word, Lord, and to fellowship. I pray that you be with us throughout the service. May you fill us with your power and your spirit. Give us hearing ears to listen to what you would have for us this morning, and I pray that you'd help us to apply it as well. We love you so much and we thank you. Pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen. You may be seated. Go ahead and take your song, bus 349, Song of the Year.
Song number 349, The Comforter Has Come, 349.
Amen. Song number 349, The Comforter Has Come. See it on that verse.
Oh, spread the tidings round
Wherever man is found
Wherever human hearts
And human woes abound
Let every Christian tongue
Proclaims a joyful sound
The Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heaven
The Father's promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round
Wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
The long long night has passed
The morning breaks at last
And hushed the dreadful well
And the glory of God
Wherefore the golden hills
The day advances fast
The Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heaven
The Father's promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round
Wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
Oh, the breaking of kings
With healing in his wings
To every Catholic soul
A whole deliverance
Brings all the vacant hells
The song of triumph reigns
The Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heaven
The Father's promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round
Wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
Oh, boundless love divine
How shall this song of mine
To a wondering mortal's tale
The man's grace divine
That I, a child of hell
Should in his image shine
The Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heaven
The Father's promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round
Wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
We have our Thursday night Bible study at 7 o'clock.
We are currently going through the book of Ephesians.
And just as a reminder, we are a family integrated church.
Infants and children are always welcome in the service.
For your convenience, the mother baby rooms are located in the back of the building.
And it's available should your child need some diversion.
Changing tables are available in those rooms as well.
And of course, that should be a temporary thing where you go in there,
you know, just to kind of distract your children, train them a little bit,
bring them back into the service.
We obviously encourage everyone to be in the main auditorium during the preaching.
But obviously, sometimes little ones get a little out of hand.
I have little ones, and sometimes they need to be taken out.
So, completely understandable.
You see, there's so many times and teams,
and the list of expecting mother, oh man, it kind of grew.
I want to congratulate brother Ulysses and Miss Vanessa
on their next baby.
They're coming up.
I was getting kind of nervous. It was dwindling down.
The list was dwindling down a little bit, but now we're going back up again.
So, praise the Lord.
You see that there? Please pray for Miss Vanessa.
And of course, all the other ladies that are on the list there.
You see the important reminders.
Oh, by the way, so let me go over these reminders real quick.
Please make sure that you're supervising your children in the building.
You want to make sure that your children are not just running around in the main auditorium
because, you know, they can bump into people and be very destructive,
and it becomes very chaotic in here, okay?
And so, I know that they have fun with that.
They got the little click in here, you know?
I know they got the little gang in here, you know, all the kids, including my son.
And so, take them to the mother-baby room.
They can play in there, but just make sure you're supervising them here,
and make sure you're watching over them so they're not being destructive,
chaotic, or even hitting adults without, you know, paying attention and all that.
No children should be in the mother-baby room alone without their parents,
and, of course, no men allowed in the mother-baby room.
Some of the upcoming church events tonight, we have Sports Night, amen?
And that'll be after church.
We're going to meet at Eucalyptus Park.
Dinner will be provided, and we're going to be playing some basketball, okay?
So, if you're interested in getting balled up, why are you laughing, Damian?
If you want to get balled up, you know, come to the park tonight.
We'll see you at the court, okay?
And so, looking forward to that tonight.
But there will be dinner provided, and so we'll have that on the park,
little tables there.
And so, I hope to see you then.
That'll be tonight after church.
Sunday, September 5th, we're going to be celebrating September birthdays.
And Wednesday, September 15th, the PE classes resume.
And if you have any questions about that, you can see Brother Ulysses Hernandez,
Coach Hernandez, for that.
Friday, September 17th, Pastor Anderson will be with us
to celebrate our four-year church anniversary, amen?
And actually, that's actually when we started the church.
It was on the 17th of September.
But we're going to be doing something special that weekend,
and so he'll be here on that Friday.
We'll have a soloing marathon on Saturday,
and then we'll have a special service on Sunday.
Now, keep in mind that because we're having the service on Friday,
we're not going to be having service on Thursday,
and so that will replace our midweek service.
So make sure you're there at 7 o'clock.
Pastor Anderson will be here to preach for us.
And then, as I mentioned, the soloing marathon will be on that Saturday
in South Central.
We'll give you more details as we approach that.
And of course, we're going to do something special on Sunday.
Looking forward to that.
Make sure you're here on Sunday, though,
because we want to take a drone church photo, okay?
We're going to have everyone go out, fly the drone,
and then take a picture of the church there.
And so looking forward to that.
Quiet time resumes from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
in the main auditorium in the mother-baby room.
Take advantage of that.
Make sure you get your rest in before Sunday night church
so you're not being like a eudicus, amen, on Sunday night.
No food or drink allowed in the main auditorium except for water and coffee.
And make sure you silence your phones during the preaching
so as to not be a distraction during the service.
That's pretty much it for our announcements.
Let's go ahead and sing our next song.
374, Send the Light, song number 374.
Hey, man, song number 374, Send the Light.
There's a call comes ringing over the restless wave.
We'll sing it on that first.
On that first, sing it out.
There's a call comes ringing over the restless wave.
Send the light, send the light.
There are souls to gather, souls to save.
Send the light.
There are souls to save.
Send the light, send the light.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine from shore to shore.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine forevermore.
Today, send the light, send the light.
And a golden offering at the cross we lay.
Send the light, send the light.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine from shore to shore.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine forevermore.
Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound.
Send the light, send the light.
And a Christ-like spirit.
Send the light, send the light.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine from shore to shore.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine forevermore.
Let us not grow weary in the work of love.
Send the light, send the light.
Let us gather tools for a crown above.
Send the light, send the light.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine from shore to shore.
Send the light, the blessing of small life.
Let it shine forevermore.
Amen. Wonderful singing. At this time, our ushers will be receiving the offering.
And turn your Bibles to Ephesians chapter 5.
