WELCOME TO PIONEER EVANGELICAL CHURCH Sunday September 28, 2014

Hymn # 295-"I KNOW NOT WHY GOD'S WONDROUS GRACE" I know not why God’s wondrous grace To me He hath made known, Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love, Redeemed me for His own.

Chorus But “I know whom I have believed, And am persuaded, that He is able, To keep that which I’ve committed, Unto Him against that day”

Verse 2 I know not how this saving faith To me He did impart, Nor how believing in His Word, Wrought peace within my heart.

Chorus But “I know whom I have believed, And am persuaded, that He is able, To keep that which I’ve committed, Unto Him against that day”

Verse 3 I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing men of sin, Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in Him.

Chorus But “I know whom I have believed, And am persuaded, that He is able, To keep that which I’ve committed, Unto Him against that day”

Verse 4 I know not when my Lord may come, At night or noonday fair, Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him, Or “meet Him in the air”.

Chorus But “I know whom I have believed, And am persuaded, that He is able, To keep that which I’ve committed, Unto Him against that day”

OFFERING

Hymn # 435-"WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer!

Verse 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer

Verse 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there.
