Order of Service AM (8 May 2011)
(leader: William Chong)
Welcome
Scripture Reading – Psalm 28 and 29
1. A Mighty Fortress – Martin Luther
2. How Great Thou Art
3. Grace Greater than our Sin
4. Jesus Paid It All
The Lord’s Table
Music item: Consider Christ – Bryson Smith, Philip Percival. This was a song from Emu Music we tried for the first time. Mandy sang a beautiful solo and I gave a simple guitar accompaniment. Fantastic words that sum up what Christ has done for us, and is still doing to “transform, renew and change me”, and that we can respond in thankfulness.
Message: Do Not Neglect Your Gift – 1 Tim 4:14 (Peter Somervell)
5. Wonderful Merciful Saviour

Order of Service AM (15 May 2011)
(leader: Jon Scanlan)
Proud father of 4 Jon led the church in singing – it was a pretty busy Sunday morning so we sang four songs, all solid and well worth singing.
1. By Faith – Keith and Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend. It’s still a bit low in the verses, after doing it all these times. Might have to make some parts in B flat instead of A in the near future.
A special guest from Myanmar, Dr Aung Mang spoke to us briefly.
Reading: Psalm 30
2. All I Have Is Christ – Devon Kauflin. We sang this right after watching a great video of it, set in the context of a persecuted Christian.
3. Salvation’s Song – Andrew Small, Stuart Townend.
Message – Fear Not, Stand Firm, and See the Salvation of the Lord – Exodus 3 to 14 (Joe Fleener)
4. Salvation Belongs to our God
