Praise Offering:
*Holy God, we praise Thy name; Lord of all we bow before Thee;
All on Earth Thy kingdom claim, all in Heaven above adore Thee!
Infinite Thy vast domain, everlasting is Thy reign;
Infinite Thy vast domain, everlasting is Thy reign!
Lo, Thy Saints in endless strain, join with us Thy name to hallow;
Prophets calling out in refrain, and the white – robed martyrs follow;
Praising You with one accord: holy, holy, holy Lord;
Praising You with one accord: holy, holy, holy Lord!
Holy God, You sent Your Son, to the world of Your creation;
In Him is the victory won, death is conquered by salvation;
We, adoring, bend the knee; while we own this mystery;
We, adoring, bend the knee; while we own this mystery!
Glory Offering:
*Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty;
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee!
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty;
God in three persons, bless-ed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy, all the Saints adore Thee;
Casting down their golden crowns before the glassy sea!
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee;
Who were, and are, and evermore shall be!
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty;
all Thy works shall praise Thy name in
Earth, and sky, and sea!
Holy, holy, holy, there is none beside Thee;
Perfect in power, in love and purity!
Sin Offering:
*Oh Christ our light, oh Son divine, of God the Father’s deathless grace;
Oh, image of the light sublime, that fills the heavenly dwelling place;
**As Saints of old once called on You, to wash them pure as morning dew;
We ask of You now enter in and cleanse us from the stain of sin.
**You bled for us that death may die; now we, to You sing out the cry;
Oh, Christ, our sin You once became; we magnify Your holy name!

Sermon
Faith Offering: Colossians 1: 12 - 20: “[Let us] give thanks to the Father for having made us worthy to share the lot of the saints in light! He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son; through Him we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins! He is the image of the invisible God; the first born of all creation. In Him everything in Heaven and on Earth was created, things visible and invisible, whether dominions, princedoms, powers; all things were created through Him, all things were created for Him. He is before all else that is; in Him everything continues in being. It is He who is head of the body, the Church; He who is the beginning, the firstborn of the dead, so that primacy may be His in everything. It pleased God to make absolute fullness reside in Him and, by means of Him, to reconcile everything in His person, both on Earth and in the heavens, making peace through the blood of His cross!”
