To Worship
The Call To Worship
~ based on Psalm 98 ~
Leader: Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for He has done marvellous things! His
right hand and His holy arm have
worked salvation for Him.
Unison: The Lord has made known His
salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. He
has remembered His steadfast love and
faithfulness to the house of Israel, and
the ends of the earth have seen the
salvation of our God.
Leader: Make a joyful noise to the Lord,
all the earth; break forth into joyous
song and sing praises!

Renewal

prophet Jeremiah saying, The heart is
deceitful above all things and desperately sick; who can understand it? I the
Lord search the heart and examine the
mind.

Holy

Prayer Of Confession

What heart could hold the weight

Of Your love
And know the heights
Of Your great worth
What eyes could look on
Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
(repeat)

Leader: Gracious God, our sins are too

heavy to carry, too real to hide, and to
deep to undo.

God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus, You are, Jesus, You are

Our Offerings
Song Of Response
& Preparation

My Faith Has Found a Resting Place

My faith has found a resting place
Not in device nor creed
I trust the Ever-living One
His wounds for me shall plead
chorus
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
Enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him
He'll never cast me out
(repeat chorus)

Leader: Set us free from a past we cannot

change; open to us a future in which we
can be changed.

Your name alone has pow'r to raise us

Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like You, God

~ Silent Confession & Reflection ~

(repeat chorus)

Leader: And grant us to grow more and

more in Your likeness and image, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(repeat chorus)

The Words Of The Gospel

My great Physician heals the sick

The lost He came to save
For me His precious blood He shed
For me His life He gave

chorus
Lord of all the earth
We shout Your name
Shout Your name
Filling up the skies
With endless praise, endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord

bridge
Who shall we say You are
You're the living God
Who shall we say You are
You're the Great I Am
The highest name of all
You're all You say You are

~ based on 1 John 1:8-2:1 ~

At Your name
The morning breaks in glory
At Your name
Creation sings Your story
At Your name angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out

And You will come again in glory

To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on Your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like You, God

To all who humbly seek the mercy of

God, I say to you that in Christ Jesus
your sins are forgiven!

Acts 11:19-30
Pastor Mike Ivancic

My heart is leaning on the Word

The written Word of God
Salvation by my Saviour's name
Salvation through His blood

Leader: While it is true that we have

sinned, it is a greater truth that God offers
forgiveness to all who turn to the Lord
Jesus Christ, seeking His grace and
pardon. He is the Righteous Oneour
Advocatewho speaks in our defence.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and for the sins of the world.

A New People: From the Many, One

From the One, Many

Todays Scripture Lesson:

Songs For Communion

All I Have Is Christ
I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld Gods love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace
chorus
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You
(repeat chorus)
Because of Your Love
Jesus, You endured my pain
Saviour, You bore all my shame
All because of Your love
Maker of the universe
Broken for the sins of the earth
All because of Your love
All because of Your love

chorus
Because of Your cross
My debt is paid
Because of Your blood
My sins are washed away
Now all of my life I freely give
Because of Your love
Because of Your love I live
Innocent and holy king
Died to set the captives free
All because of Your love
Lord You gave Your life for me
So I will live my life for You
All because of Your love
All because of Your love
(repeat chorus)
bridge
You did it for me
You did it for love
Its Your victory
Jesus, You are enough
(repeat)
(repeat chorus)

Our Confession Of Faith

~ based on Romans 8:1, 29, 38-39 ~
Leader: Let us together profess our faith
by saying
Unison: We believe there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus;
for we know that all things work together
for good for those who love God, who
are called according to Gods purpose.
We are convinced that neither life, nor
death, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our
Lord. Amen.

This year, the congregation called Mike Ivancic to serve as an Associate Pastor for
New City Church. Perviously, he had served as an Assistant Pastor to the Session of
Elders. With this change of call, our network of churches (called Western Canada
Presbytery) will have representatives at our service today to install him as our
Associate Pastor. This involves asking both Mike and our congregation a series of
questions together with a brief word of exhortation and prayers.

Upcoming Preaching Schedule:

Pastor John Ferguson is on study leave from May 25th to June 8th, and he & his
family will be on vacation from June 8th to June 22nd. If you need to speak to a
