ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Elder Board and English Congregation leadership is excited to announce the hiring of Rev. Dr. John Lee to the English Interim Pastor position starting March 1st. Pastor Lee will be helping our church by preaching as well as valuable guiding us during our pastoral search and continuing ministries. We look forward to introducing him to everyone soon.
If you have any specific needs or prayer requests, please reach out to the deacons at english.deacons@newtown.church
We need a small team to volunteer for hosting the Zoom service and chat moderator positions. The Zoom host requires some training while the chat moderator simply greets the congregants and posts links/information to the chat. Please email Beverly at churchemailforbev@gmail.com, if you can help.
Next week, Pastor Craig Fee will return to our pulpit as our guest preacher.
Worship Songs
Raise A Hallelujah
Verse 1
I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah Heaven comes to fight for me
Chorus
I’m gonna sing in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder you’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes hope will arise
Death is defeated the King is alive
Verse 2
I raise a hallelujah with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah fear you lost your hold on me

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)
Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)

Great Things (Worth It All)
Verse 1
Thank You for the wilderness
Where I learned to thirst for Your presence
If I'd never known that place
How could I have known You were better
Verse 2
Thank You for the lonely times
When I learned to live in the silence
As the other voices fade
I can hear You calling me Jesus
Pre-Chorus
And it's worth it all just to know You more
Chorus 1
You have done great things
Jesus Your love never fails me
My soul will sing
You have done great things
Verse 3
Thank You for the scars I bear
They declare that You are my healer
How could I have seen Your strength
If You'd never shown me my weakness
Chorus 2
You have done great things
In weakness You are my victory
My soul will sing
You have done great things
Bridge
Through the fire and the flood
You will never let me go
And my soul will sing
You have done great things
I am weak You are strong
You will always be my hope
And my soul will sing
You have done great things
(REPEAT)
