ANTHEM: Never a Step Will You Walk Alone by Pepper Choplin; Desiree Flores, alto; Myles Mineer, bass
Faith will lead down a road less traveled. Faith will lead down a road unknown. But though you travel on a way uncharted, never a step will you walk alone. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don’t lean on your own understanding; in all of your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Faith may lead down a road that’s lonely. Faith may lead down a road of your own. In all of your ways, acknowledge Him and through your faith, you’ll press on. Never a step will you walk alone. Every single step you will walk with the Lord.
SERMON: “Submit to God in Order to Stand Strong”
HYMN: Standing on the Promises [Promises]

HYMN: O Master, Let me Walk with Thee [Maryton]
