Perfect submission, perfect delight!


Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Verse 3

Perfect submission all is at rest,


I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Unison Scriptures
7:30 a.m.

GeneSiS 1:26-31 (nRSV)

GALATiAnS 3:23-29 (nRSV)


Now before faith came, we were
imprisoned and guarded under the law until
faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the
law was our disciplinarian until Christ came,
so that we might be justified by faith. 25But
now that faith has come, we are no longer
subject to a disciplinarian, 26for in Christ
Jesus you are all children of God through
faith. 27As many of you as were baptized
into Christ have clothed yourselves with
Christ. 28There is no longer Jew or Greek,
there is no longer slave or free, there is no
longer male and female; for all of you are
one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to
Christ, then you are Abrahams offspring,
heirs according to the promise.
23

Then God said, Let us make humankind in


our image, according to our likeness; and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the wild animals of the
earth, and over every creeping thing that
creeps upon the earth. 27So God created
humankind in his image, in the image of
God he created them; male and female he
created them. 28God blessed them, and
God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply,
and fill the earth and subdue it; and have
dominion over the fish of the sea and over
the birds of the air and over every living
thing that moves upon the earth. 29God
said, See, I have given you every plant
yielding seed that is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit;
you shall have them for food. 30And to every
beast of the earth, and to every bird of the
air, and to everything that creeps on the
earth, everything that has the breath of life,
I have given every green plant for food. And
it was so. 31God saw everything that he had
made, and indeed, it was very good. And
there was evening and there was morning,
the sixth day.

JoShUA 1:10-11 (niV)


So Joshua ordered the officers of the
people: 11Go through the camp and tell
the people, Get your provisions ready.
Three days from now you will cross the
Jordan here to go in and take possession of
the land the Lord your God is giving you for
your own.

outstanding group of trailblazing leaders all under the age of 50 who have given voice
and vision to the mantra that black lives matter, stated Roslyn M. Brock, Chairman of
the NAACP National Board of Directors. The five individuals and three organizations
have raised awareness of social, educational, and economic injustice from college
campuses, church pulpits and the streets, and exemplify what this award symbolizes Courage Will Not Skip this Generation.

2016 Churchwide Theme


and Scriptures
Theme: The Fruit of The Spirit:
Taste and See!
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our
lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is
no law against these things!
Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)

January Love

He answered, You shall love the Lord your God


with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your strength, and with all your mind; and your
neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27 (NRSV)

February Joy

Nehemiah said, Go and enjoy good food and


sweet drinks. Send some to people who have none,
because today is a holy day to the Lord. Dont be
sad, because the joy of the Lord will make you
strong. Nehemiah 8:10 (NCV)

March Peace

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called


children of God. Matthew 5:9 (NIV)

April Patience

Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall


strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalm 27:14 (NKJV)

July Faithfulness

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, You


are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my
teachings. And you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 (NLT)

August Gentleness

By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to


youI, Paul, who am timid when face to face with
you, but bold toward you when away! I beg you
that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I
expect to be toward some people who think that
we live by the standards of this world. For though
we live in the world, we do not wage war as the
world does. 2 Corinthians 10:1-3 (NIV)

September Self Control

So prepare your minds for action and exercise selfcontrol. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation
that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed
to the world. So you must live as Gods obedient
children. Dont slip back into your old ways of living
to satisfy your own desires. You didnt know any
better then. 1 Peter 1:13-14 (NLT)

October Forgive One Another

May Kindness

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words,


and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, just as God through Christ
has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)

June Goodness

My brothers and sisters, God called you to be free,


but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do
what pleases your sinful self. Serve each other with
love. Galatians 5:13 (NCV)

This is what the Lord of Heavens Armies says:


Judge fairly, and show mercy and kindness to
one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans,
foreigners, and the poor. And do not scheme against
each other. Zechariah 7:9-10 (NLT)
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the
humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor
bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do
not boast about it or deny the truth.
James 3:13-14 (NIV)

November Service One Another

December Build Up One Another

So encourage each other and build each other up,


just as you are already doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
