Faithful God, we thank you that when we walk close to you in this earthly pilgrimage, the valley
of the weeper becomes a place of springs. We thank you for all those who walked in faith before

days; through the grace of Jesus Christ. Amen.

We all are called for service, to witness in God’s name.
Our ministries are different, our purpose is the same:
To touch the lives of others by God’s surprise grace,
So every folk and nation may feel God’s warm embrace.
God’s inspired instrument to instruct us is the Bible, the great Word of God,
To illumine, to guide and correct us, and to brighten our pathway to heaven.
God is working to make us new beings in Christ, and the whole world, God’s kingdom to be,
Where God’s presence is felt, the hungry are fed, the oppressed and the captives are freed.
We have triumphed over death with our Savior, Jesus Christ is our own risen Lord.
He will gather us all in his fullness, to inherit the Kingdom of God.
He has given the gift of eternal life, so that all who believe may be saved.
We all look forward to his coming again, to gather us all in his fold.

Reading of the Narrative of the Healing Ministry of UCCP Tacloban c/o Frank
We are one in community, united by the spirit, and bound with freedom and love
We are called to be brothers, sisters, family.
We are bound in Jesus Christ, in him we work and praise the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
The Good News of salvation, proclaimed in words and deeds.
We are one in community, empowered by the spirit, now working in you and me.
Diff’rent gifts bestowed we must work in one accord,
For we serve one Lord alone, so we shall break the walls dividing, break all pride and prejudice,
To share the love of Jesus and greet each one Shalom!
