*Praise Song - “Come, Let Us Worship and Bow Down”
Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord, our God,
our Maker. Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the
Lord, our God, our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His
pasture. And the sheep of His hand, just the sheep of His hand. CCLI License No 1222159
*Praise Song - “Blessed Jesus”
Blessed Jesus come to me, soothe my soul with songs of peace.
As I look to You alone, fill me with Your love.
REFRAIN: Glorious, marvelous grace that rescued me; Holy, worthy
is the Lamb who died for me.
Mountains high and valleys low, You will never let me go; By Your fountain
let me drink, fill my thirsty soul. REFRAIN…
Blessed Jesus come to me as I fall down at your feet. Let me touch
Your nail scarred hands. Jesus I would see. REFRAIN… CCLI License No 1222159
*Praise Song - “Shine, Jesus, Shine”
Lord, the light of Your love is shining in the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us, set us free by the truth You now
bring us, Shine on me, shine on me.
REFRAIN: Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire. Flow, river flow, flood the
nations with grace and mercy. Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let
there be light.
Lord, I come to Your awesome presence, From the shadows into Your
radiance; By the blood I may enter Your brightness, search me, try me,
consume all my darkness, shine on me, shine on me. REFRAIN…
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness, so our faces display Your
likeness; Ever changing from glory to glory, Mirror’d here may our lives
tell Your story, Shine on me, shine on me. REFRAIN… CCLI License No 1222159

Sunday, March 15th the University of North Dakota Concert Choir will present a

regional tour. The concert is free and open to the public; a freewill donation will be taken. The concert of sacred music will include works by Claudio Monteverdi, Ola Gjeilo,
Johannes Brahms, North Dakota composer Christopher Gable, and others.
Sara Otteman Bray, who is originally from Yankton, is a member of this choir.
At the March Consistory Meeting the consistory approved two
more projects that need congregational support to move forward. First is a plan to
update and refurbish the kitchen. The estimate for refurbishing the cabinets and
replacing the counter tops is $5,000. It was approved that the money from this year's
soup kitchen would be given to this project. With $3,400 all ready raised, there is a
need for around $1,600 to make this project a reality. The second project that is
needing attention is the power point projection system. We have received a bid to
replace our existing projector and screen with a screen that would be positioned lower about the wall, allowing the cross to be moved back to its original position. Total
cost for this project is $8,300. There is some money in the budget allocated for this
but the budgeted amount will not cover it all. If you would like to know more, or would
like to pledge or donate to either of these projects, please speak to a member of the
consistory
Request to those using the Nursery If you know your children have
been playing in the nursery, please see that before leaving, toys are cleaned up and
put away. Thanks for your help!!
