*HYMN OF PRAISE
“You Are My All in All”
from: W & S #3040
You are my strength when I am weak.
You are the treasure that I seek.
You are my all in all. Seeking you as a precious jewel,
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool. You are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name.
Jesus Lamb of God, worthy is your name.
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,
Rising again I bless your name,
You are my all in all. When I fall down you pick me up.
When I am dry you fill my cup. You are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name.
You are my strength when I am weak.
You are the treasure that I seek.
You are my all in all. Seeking you as a precious jewel,
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool. You are my all in all.
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name.
Jesus Lamb of God, worthy is your name.

PASTORAL PRAYER
SENT FORTH INTO THE WORLD
MISSION MOMENT
*CENTERING IN GOD’S WORD
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God.
Whoever loves someone who is a parent loves the child born to the
parent.
This is how we know that we love the children of God: when we love
God and keep God’s commandments.
This is the love of God: we keep God’s commandments.
God’s commandments are not difficult, because everyone who is born
from God defeats the world.
And this is the victory that has defeated the world: our faith.
Who defeats the world? Isn’t it the one who believes that Jesus is God’s
Son?
This is the one who came by water and blood: Jesus Christ.
Not by water only but by water and blood.
And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the
truth.
*HYMN OF SENDING FORTH
“Victory In Jesus”

As part of our Outreach Ministry to Children, we invite you to attend the games
of our church sponsored baseball team (Cardinals) & cheer for our boys. Let us
show the love of Jesus by encouraging children to work well with others in a
respectful & cooperative spirit. It is important for all of us to be the “hands and
feet” of Jesus and serve our Lord by connecting with these young men and their
families. Attending these games is a way to show that we at Cornerstone UMC
care & are committed to this exciting Outreach Ministry! Next games: May 12th
(Tuesday) 7:30 pm; May 14th (Thurs.) 5:45 pm; May 19th (Tuesday) 7:30 pm.
