Sunday Program
(Duncan Campbell) The Kingdom of God is not going to be advanced by our churches becoming filled with men, but by men in our churches becoming filled with God. (Charles Hodge) The Church is everywhere represented as one. It is one body, one family, one fold, one kingdom. It is one because pervaded by one Spirit. We are all baptised into one Spirit so as to become, says the apostle, one body. (1 Peter 2:9-10) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Presider: P. Jim Jung Preacher: Sijin Yang CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 85:1-4 1Lord, you were favorable to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. 2You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. 3You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your hot anger. 4Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!
