People: Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame; from

everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same. Leader: In this hour of worship, we remember the countless saints of history who

blazed the trail we now trod. People: We remember the saints of God in every time and place who

have shown us the Lord. All: Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witness, let us run

with patience the race set before us. AMEN. The Lord’s Prayer Processional “For All the Saints” #339 Invocation and Chant Responsive Reading “Our Elders” #75 Gloria Patri Prayer and Choral Response (Please scroll down)

Anthem 9:00 am 11:00 am Leon E. Thompson Men’s Chorus "Rise Up, O Men of God” arr. Buryl Red Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things;

Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of kings.

Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long; Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

Lift high the cross of Christ, tread where his feet have trod; As brothers of the Son of man. Rise up, O men of God!

AbyssinianWEST

3.0 in 24Mo! We have launched our inaugural campaign for AbyssinianWEST --- 3.0 in 24 MO! Our Pastor has addressed our membership with letters asking for your assistance in our effort to raise $12 Million to build our educational center. We are asking each member to make a pledge, over and above your tithes and offerings, for the next 24 months to help us raise $3 Million. Pledge cards were included in your mailings and are available in the church elevator lobby, and at Abyssinian.org via the “AbyssinianWEST” icon. The pledge card can be left at the front desk in the Trustee mailbox. Special envelopes for your pledge payments are available from the ushers. (Please scroll down)

Thank you in advance for your support. Through your generosity, we will be able to begin to meet the financial requirement for our move west.
