“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13

How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

That God His Son not sparing, And when I think That God His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in – That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

With shout of acclamation When Christ shall come With shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, “My God, how great Thou art!”

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Confession of Sin Father God, Loving Lord Jesus, you came to seek and to save the lost. You invite the weary and burdened to rest. You heal the hurting. Yet we confess that we have lost our way. Forgive our small thoughts about you and our willful disobedience against you. 32

Confession of Sin Forgive our selfish ways, words and deeds that have hurt others and dishonored your name. Heal the pain we have caused. Grace us with your Holy Spirit and lead us in the way that leads to life. Amen. 33

Indescribable Laura Story From the highest of heights To the depths of the sea Creation’s revealing Your majesty

To the fragrance of Spring From the colors of Fall To the fragrance of Spring Every creature unique In the song that it sings All exclaiming…

Indescribable, uncontainable You placed the stars in the sky And You know them by name You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable Awestruck, we fall to our knees As we humbly proclaim You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt Where it should go Or seen heavenly storehouses Laden with snow?

And gives source to its light Who imagined the sun And gives source to its light Yet conceals it to bring us The coolness of night? None can fathom!

Indescribable, uncontainable You placed the stars in the sky And You know them by name You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable Awestruck, we fall to our knees As we humbly proclaim You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable You placed the stars in the sky And You know them by name You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable You see the depths of my heart And You love me the same You are amazing God!

 Psalm 112 1 ¶ Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! 2 His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. 6 ¶ For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. 7 He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. 10 The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!

Fatherhood programs teach men to be dads They target fathers who are young, urban, unmarried and jobless By Tricia Bishop, The Baltimore Sun

“Now you tell me, when a father goes ahead and washes diapers or performs some other mean task for his child, and someone ridicules him as an effeminate fool, though that father is acting in the spirit just described and in Christian faith, my dear fellow you tell me, which of the two is most keenly ridiculing the other? God, with all his angels and creatures, is smiling, not because that father is washing diapers, but because he is doing so in Christian faith. Those who sneer at him and see only the task but not the faith are ridiculing God with all his creatures, as the biggest fool on earth.” Martin Luther’s “Sermon on the Estate of Marriage” (1522)

3) The Courage vs 4, 6-8 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous. Vs 4 ¶ For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.
