Call to Worship Good morning to everyone!
We know this is our third Chapel Service in this semester.
There are six more such services. Amidst the busy schedule
of classwork and assignments, have you ever thought Of
God's ultimate will for us? What could it be?
Getting high marks in Exams and graduating from college?
Or choosing a good mission field? Or
Is it about having a safe family?
But strangely these are all not God's ultimate wills about us.
Eternal life, victory over sin, obedience to God's
commandments, receiving the power of the Holy Spirit, and
becoming a disciple of the Lord are the wills of God. For this
to be possible, we must grow up in all aspects into Christ who
is the head. By coming to the chapel service and class
times,there are opportunities to read, hear and understand
the Word of God.
Remembering these Let's listen to this song for getting this
opportunity given by God.

And the morning that You rose

Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs - Need a progression
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

expect us to in this world. But we praise and give thanks for your
grace and truth, Jesus Christ. Amen
God carries our burdens.
When we are in the world, the pleasures of the world are things that
keep us away from God. But the Lord is there to help us to
overcome them. Each morning, let's praise God for the power He
sends.
It's true as the sunrise.

Song of Softly and Tenderly
Response: Text and Music: Will L. Thompson
1 Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
calling for you and for me;

watching for you and for me.
Come home, come home;
you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
2 Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
mercies for you and for me?
Come home, come home;
All Join you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
3 Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
passing from you and from me;
shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
coming for you and for me.
Come home, come home;
you who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!
