Mr. Beddingfield
The eternal Word, which was in the beginning with God, and was God;
the incarnate Word, which was made flesh and dwelt among us;
the gospel Word, which is the good news that was preached to us;
the written Word, which is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path;
the living Word, which is powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword;
this is the Word of God for the people of God:
Thanks be to God.

† GLORIA PATRI

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
World without end. Amen.
Mr. Beddingfield
Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Give praise, O servants of the Lord –
All you who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
Sing to God’s name, for he Lord is gracious.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
And Israel for his own possession.
I know that the Lord is great;
Our Lord is above all gods.
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise the Lord!

Love’s Redeeming Work Is Done
O Lord, whose will it is that, next to yourself,
we should hold our parents in highest honor:
It is right and good that, as we seek your presence in worship,
we also ask your goodness towards them.
We thank you for our homes and families and pray that
you would preserve them in the love and care of your church,
in health of body and mind, and in grace for every trial.
Grant that through us no sorrow may befall them;
and finally, as they have been kind to us, so may you be to them,
for you are the One from whom every family on earth is named;
through Jesus Christ, your Son, we pray. Amen.

Happy Mother’s Day AND Happy Anniversary, Linda Stewart!

FOUNDATION
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
Christ has died! Christ has risen! / Christ will come again!
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, / to receive power, wealth,
wisdom and might, honor, glory and blessing!
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, / be blessing and honor
and glory and might forever and ever!
Alleluia! / Amen!
(based on Revelation 5:12-13 NIV)
PSALM OF PRAISE
I Peter 2:4-10

It is just about that time of year when school closes for the summer. YOU
have been a generous congregation to supply approximately 130 children in the
Buies Creek, Lafayette, and Angier areas food to eat on weekends and holidays.
These children have been recognized by school counselors as children from
families with limited resources who lack enough food during the times they are
not in school. In school they get breakfast and lunch so when they are not in
school they are unable to have those two meals provided for them.

Memorial Baptist Church is an inviting, inclusive, Christ-centered community

of Jesus. If you mourn and need comfort; if you’re weary and need rest;
