APRIL MEMORY SCRIPTURE
And they sang responsively, praising and giving
thanks to the LORD: “For He is good, For His
mercy endures forever toward Israel.” Then all the
people shouted with a great shout, when they
praised the LORD, because the foundation of the
house of the LORD was laid.

OUR VISION
By 2015, Freedom Temple will be a multigenerational, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural church that
promotes the name and ministry of Jesus Christ,
makes disciples, strengthens individuals and families
and positively affects our neighborhood, the greater
Baltimore region, and the world.
OUR MISSION
The mission of Freedom Temple is to “Repair the
Breach” (Isaiah 58) by enlisting, equipping,
educating, and empowering loving and committed
disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a result, lives are
changed, hurts are healed, and hope is restored.

What a Fellowship
(Hymn #662)
What a fellowship, what a
joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms;
What a blessedness, what a
peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms.
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all
alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms.
Oh, how sweet to walk in
this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms;
Oh, how bright the path
grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms.
What have I to dread,
What have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms?
I have blessed peace
with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting
arms.
Chasing After You
I'm chasing after you,
No matter what have to do,
Cause I need you, more and
more.
More and more,
more and more
I'm chasing after you,
Praising my way through,
Just to be closer to you,
I'm chasing after you.
Open The Eyes of My Heart
Open the eyes of my heart,
Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
To see You high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your
glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing Holy Holy Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
I want to see You
I want to see You
**Please refrain from unnecessary talking,
texting, tweeting/posting in the sanctuary.
Thank you!
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were
eating;
He rebuked them for their lack of faith and their
stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen
him after he had risen.
He said to them, “Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever does not believe will be
condemned.
And these signs will accompany those who
believe: In my name they will drive out
demons; they will speak in new tongues;
They will pick up snakes with their hands; and
when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt
them at all;
They will place their hands on sick people, and
they will get well.”
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He
was taken up into heaven and He sat at the right
hand of God.
Then the disciples went out and preached
everywhere,
Altogether: And the Lord worked with them
and confirmed His word by the signs that
accompanied it.
Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it
was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be world without end.
Amen.
(Leader)
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the one true Church,
apostolic and universal, whose holy faith let us now declare:”

I Lift My Hands to You Medley
Jesus at the center of it all
Jesus at the center of it all
From beginning to the end
It will always be, it’s always been
You, Jesus
I lift my hands to You
You’re my only help
The Apostles’ Creed
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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he arose from the dead,
he ascended into Heaven and sitteth on 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 Ghost, the holy catholic church*, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body and life everlasting. Amen.
*Refers to the church universal, NOT the Roman Catholic Church.
