SUNDAY HYMN
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Chorus)
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Chorus)
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Naught of good that I have done:
nothing but the blood of Jesus
(Chorus)
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my righteousness:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Chorus)
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea:
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

GIVING
FAITHFUL GIVING
We want to say thank you for your giving and partnership. YOUR GIVING MATTERS! Your faithful giving allows us to increasingly do the work of ministry for our members AND to everyone the Lord sends to us and sends us to.
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 ESV
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Malachi 3:10 ESV
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

WOMEN'S VIRTUAL FELLOWSHIP
Kingdom Women – Join us for our Virtual Women’s Ministry Monthly Fellowship on Friday, June 20th at 7:00 p.m. Our guest, Sis. Yolanda Duncan, will teach on God’s Callings Are His Enablings based upon the book Now and Not Yet: Pressing in When You’re Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More by Ruth Chou Simons. Ruth writes,
"Do you find yourself measuring your ability to step into your callings with metrics like popularity, approval, resources, and natural giftedness? Are you tempted to feel called when your strengths are on display and not called when it’s your weaknesses showing through instead? God was accomplishing a specific plan with a specific purpose in his promise to Abraham and his provision for him, and God’s character remains the same as we walk with him today. He is still the God who proves himself trustworthy. He is still the God who calls us to more than we can handle on our own so that we’ll know his faithfulness more fully. He is still the God who provides when we are not sufficient on our own. He is still the God who works all things together for our good, even if it doesn’t look the way we expect it to."

YOUNG ADULT CONFERENCE
ANNOUNCEMENTS

JUNETEENTH
What Is Juneteenth ?
It celebrates June 19, 1865, the day when Union soldiers arrived in Texas and spread the word that President Lincoln had delivered his Emancipation Proclamation. News traveled so slowly in Texas during those days. Texas did not hear of Lincoln’s Proclamation, which he gave on January 1, 1865, until more than two years after it was issued!
The proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.” Thus, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal Border States. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. In addition, the freedom promised in the Emancipation Proclamation, depended upon Union military victory.
Juneteenth has been informally celebrated each year since 1865. Not until June3. 1979, Texas became the first state to proclaim Emancipation Day (Juneteenth) as an official state holiday. Juneteenth has become a day for African Americans to celebrate their freedom, culture, and achievements. It is a day for all Americans to celebrate African American history and rejoice in their freedom.

GRIEFSHARE
GriefShare is a support group to help you move through the grief process.
GriefShare provides a safe place to talk about hard things-and heal from them.
GriefShare is for everyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—whether you’ve experienced the loss of a spouse, parent, child (infant, young child, teen, adult, unborn), friend, sibling, coworker, or other relative. GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
