Church December 14, 2014

1. Opening Prayer (In Unison)
In the afterglow of the centennial celebration, our mouths are still filled with praise. As we
celebrate the abundance that you have provided; as we remember the victories that you have
granted; as we consider the mercy, grace and favor that you have extended, what else could we
do but praise you? Lord, you are good and your mercy endures forever. You are good all the
time. Your mercy is wonderful when we acknowledge it and even when we are not aware of it.
You keep us in the safety of your arms. Even our troubles are just vehicles of blessing in
disguise. Empower us now to trust you in all of life, knowing that you are constantly and
consistently with us in it all and through it all. We give you praise. Amen.
Unison Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:1-5; 16-17 (TMSG)
1The family tree of Jesus Christ, David’s son, Abraham’s son:
2Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob, Jacob had Judah and his brothers,
3Judah had Perez and Zerah (the mother was Tamar), Perez had Hezron, Hezron had Aram,
4Aram had Amminadab, Amminadab had Nahshon, Nahshon had Salmon, 5Salmon had Boaz
(his mother was Rahab), Boaz had Obed (Ruth was the mother), Obed had Jesse,16Jacob had
Joseph, Mary’s husband, the Mary who gave birth to Jesus, the Jesus who was called Christ.

5. God, we love you and the genuine expression of love is giving. You showed your love for us
first by giving us your Son. We demonstrate our love for you by giving now a portion of
what you have given to us. We give freely. We give cheerfully. We will not rob you. Instead,
we will worship you by giving from our heart.
You are our #1 priority. We will not treat banks or bills better than we treat you because you
deserve all the glory, the honor and the praise. We refuse to live under a curse. Therefore, in
obedience to your Word, we bring our tithe and our offering to you today.
PUT your promise into action! Open the windows of heaven and provide what we need for
our desires and our destiny!
POUR into our lives the phenomenal and spectacular by releasing a blessing that is beyond
our wildest dreams!
PROTECT everything that we currently have and do not permit the enemy to abort
anything that you are trying to give us for our future.
The tithe is what we owe, the offering is seed we sow. We sow now with the expectation of
jobs and better jobs, of businesses and greater businesses, of raises and bonuses, of houses
and land, of freedom from debt and supernatural increase. Bless us indeed and enlarge our
territory as we live for your glory. Alleluia! In the mighty, matchless and miraculous name of
Jesus, we confess. Amen!

7. World AIDS Awareness Month

8. 34th Street Church mission can be summed up in this phrase: “empower you to
grow into all God created you to be.” Followers of Jesus are lifelong learners
and the spiritual journey is not meant to be alone. At 34th Street Church, we
believe that life is a team sport – best done together and as our church grows
larger, we must also grow smaller. Small groups are “learning communities”
that serve as a great way to grow in your relationship with God and make a
difference in the community. We encourage everyone to be involved in
group life because it’s there where you will meet new people while growing in
your faith.
NTERESTED IN STARTING OR FACILITATING A GROUP?
Any member in good standing can start a Small Group at 34th Street Church
by following 4 easy steps:
Step 1 Complete the Facilitator Information form
Step 2 Attend a Small Group Orientation
Step 3 Submit signed Small Group Leader Covenant
Step 4 Meet with our Small Group Team Leader or Designated Small Group
Coach
Faith grows in the presence of faithful friends and the best way to grow in your
faith is to be around others on the same journey that can spur you on and keep
you going. Small groups are here for you so take a moment to find the right
space for you! If you have any questions, please contact us
at jhaynes@verizon.net or call Deacon Anthony Haynes.
