There is a trunk in the narthex hallway where you may leave your contributions. Check the poster for dates of the Fair and items being collected. Last day to leave donations: Sunday, May 17. All profits from the Fair will be used to support the programs of the Salvation Army York Campus.

Worship Leader: Bev Miller
Prelude:
“I Worship You, Almighty God/Holy, Holy, Holy”
(arr. Hayes)
Call to Worship:
I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
(Psalm 34:1-8, ESV)

You hear me when I call. You are my morning song.
Though darkness fills the night, it cannot hide the light.
Whom shall I fear?
You crush the enemy underneath my feet.
You are my sword and shield, though troubles linger still.
Whom shall I fear?
Refrain:
I know Who goes before me, I know Who stands behind:
The God of Angel Armies is always by my side!
The One who reigns forever, He is a friend of mine.
The God of Angel Armies is always by my side!
My strength is in Your name, for You alone can save.
You will deliver me. Yours is the victory.
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
(Refrain)
And nothing formed against me shall stand!
You hold the whole world in Your hands.
I'm holding on to Your promises;
You are faithful, You are faithful.
(Repeat)
You are faithful.
(Refrain, 2 times)
The God of Angel Armies is always by my side!
(Refrain)
Is always by my side!

FBC CO-Ed Softball: The 2015 season is soon beginning. Games will take place in May, June and July. If you are interested in joining this year’s league please see Paul or Joel Brozovic for more information.
Prayer Thought: As Christians, we should receive the benefits of daily prayer and Bible study. Andrew Murray has said: “All Christians young and old, must learn the absolute necessity of fellowship with Jesus each day. This lesson is not always taught at the beginning of the Christian life. The grace we have received of the forgiveness of sins and of Joy in the Holy Spirit can only be preserved by daily renewal in fellowship with Jesus Christ Himself.” (Dave Montgomery)
