How great thou art! (2x) When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: How great thou art! How great thou art! (2x) Welcome! And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Let us know you joined us Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, for worship and how we can That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, connect and pray for you. He bled and died to take away my sin: Scan the code above with your Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: phone camera. How great thou art! How great thou art!

Even though we want to do what is right, we do not always succeed. Not only do we fail to do what is right, but at times we consciously choose to think and act in ways we know are wrong. We are truly sorry, and we ask for your forgiveness. Amen.

Anthem Epilogue of Praise Quartet When all the notes of life are played, when all our music fades away, A bright new song the world will sing in the presence of the King! And when all words have been set free and when our hearts at last know peace, We will lift our song as one as we bow before the throne; Crying worthy, worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the Lamb. When ev’ry river has run dry, when all the stars fall from the sky, The love of God will still live on like a never-ending song! When all our work on earth is done, when ev’ry anthem has been sung; With all the angels’ ceaseless praise, we will glory in His name, Crying worthy, worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the Lamb.

Scripture Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close New Revised Standard Version Bible at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my © 1989 the Division of Christian members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive Education of the National Council of to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

So then, with my mind I am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh I am a slave to the law of sin. 1 John 1:5-2:2 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true; but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God

Yujin Chu is also looking forward to his summer internship at San Marino Community Church. Yujin is a 30-year-old Korean American in his final year at Princeton Theological Seminary. He earned his B.A. in Biblical Studies from Azusa Pacific University. Yujin was born and raised in Southern California and calls La Canada his hometown. He is familiar with San Marino as a rival high school. Yujin says, “I found my calling for ministry four years ago and have been on that journey ever since. I have previously served as a children and young adults intern pastor. This is where I discovered I have a special inter- est in young adult ministry. In my recent internship, I discovered the administrative aspects of the church and this is something that also greatly interests me. I also have a heart for people suffering from addictions. Physical fitness is very important to me as I believe hav- ing a healthy body is one way of honoring God. As a California native, my favorite sports team is the Dodgers. My favorite book of the Bible is the Gospel of Mark. If you see me around please feel free to say hello.” Yujin can be reached at [email protected].
