    Theme

    The family I found in my salvation

    Why this theme was chosen

    This year we want to look back in the story of how we came to know Christ. Every individual has different salvation story. Some came from a different religious tradition and experience a complete transformation after they meet Christ. Some came from a Christian family which means it’s hard to pinpoint a specific turning point in life.Our salvation comes with a community that shapes us, encourages us and makes us who we are. Let’s talk about the family we built from our newfound faith.

    Biblical text: Luke 15:4–7

    “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

    You’re Not Alone

    words and music by Bryan Moyer Suderman.
    Copyright © 2005 Bryan Moyer Suderman/SmallTall Music
    www.smalltallministries.com

    Refrain:

    You’re not alone, we are one body
    You’re not alone, we stand with you
    You’re not alone, your time of suffering is our suffering too
    And I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew

    1. Many members in this body that we know
      Some are great and some are small
      Eyes and ears and hands and just a little toe
      One God who activates them all… (refrain)
    2. One body, Spirit-formed and Spirit-fed
      Different genders, rich and poor
      A banquet where the least sit at the head
      One body broken for the world… (refrain)
    3. Look close, you’ll see this body’s not a pretty sight
      Wounds and blemishes and sores
      But with the saints of every place and point in time
      We are the body of our Lord… oh Lord… (final refrain)

    Final Refrain:

    We’re not alone, we are one body
    We’re not alone, we wait for You
    We’re not alone, our time of suffering is Your suffering too
    And I know the day is coming, I know the day is coming,
    Yes I know the day is coming when we will be rejoicing anew.
