36th Annual Woman’s Day
Together We’re Stronger!
Psalm 133
Welcome: Pastor Clesha – 36th Annual
Psalm 133
1-3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
when brothers and sisters get along!
It’s like costly anointing oil
flowing down head and beard,
Flowing down Aaron’s beard,
flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.
It’s like the dew on Mount Hermon
flowing down the slopes of Zion.
Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing,
ordains eternal life.
Song: Lisa Speakes Blain
First Lesson: Pam Tennessee – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help.
11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone?
12 And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Second Lesson: Diane Hillsman – Romans 12:10-13, 18
10 love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
11 Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.
13 Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.
18 If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Song: Yvette Myles
Third Lesson: JoAnn Milligan – 1 Peter 4:8-11
8 Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
10 Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
11 Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
