God our Merciful Savior, we worship
and give You honor today. You are
our hope. You are our firm
foundation. You hear our cries. You
restore us to wholeness. What a
mighty God we serve! Strengthen our
faith today as we lift Your name with
every praise. For all that You have
given and surrounded us with, we
give You thanks. For sustaining life
with every breath, we give You
thanks. For healing, deliverance and
daily bread, we give You thanks. This
is the day that You have made, we
rejoice, we rejoice, we rejoice.
Hallelujah Amen.
Gather around, people of God! What
we proclaim to one another and to the
world this day is not of human origin.
This story has been revealed through
God's Son. We are proclaiming God's
story. God's story is our worship.

We live, we move, and we have our being because of the Holy Spirit. The
world is watching and listening and every day, believers should be under the
influence of the Holy Spirit. Think about this: we have the capacity to live
and enjoy a relationship with God because of the Holy Spirit. I am so glad
that those disciples gathered in that Upper Room. When our Lord blessed
them to go forth, He did it through the Holy Spirit. Our theme today day is:
“Holy Spirit, Fill This House and Fill This Vessel.” We are filled with the
Holy Spirit and that's why we praise the Lord and we give thanks. The
ultimate goal of the Holy Spirit is to bring honour to God and Jesus Christ.
And giving thanks is one of the signs that we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
So let us direct all our thanksgiving to God the Father, in the Name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, through the precious Holy Spirit. Amen.

WORDS FROM PASTOR J
To My Precious New Prospect Leadership, Membership, Ministries, Staff,
Security, Custodians, Volunteers, Family and Friends:
Thank you for these past 14 years and 3 months we have spent together! Deacon
Dave and I cannot thank you enough for your love and kindness towards us.
Every year the words "Thank You” just don't seem sufficient. You always
manage to make us feel so special. Every anniversary, we appreciate you.
Please know that all of you are so special, and that's a fact!
Thank you for every gift of love. And thank you for all of the unselfish ways that
you have displayed your love for Deacon Dave and Pastor J. Every time I think
about you, I pray for you. It is an enjoyable privilege to serve a church like New
Prospect. Thank you for 14 years and 3 months of joy. Thank you for uniting and
shining. Thank you for the sweet, sweet spirit in this place, especially during the
Revival and the Evening of Hymns. I hope you enjoyed going down memory lane
in the WRJ Chapel by looking at all the photos from all the years we have spent
together.
I praise God, who allowed me to be in this place, in spite of all my mistakes. I
thank Jesus, for speaking to your hearts through me, in every Bible study, sermon
and song. I thank the Holy Spirit, for holding me and keeping me faithful.
I can't thank you, thank you, thank you enough!!! To every family, every man,
every woman, every boy and every girl... a very big THANK YOU!
The month of November, 1998, I preached "The Joy of The Lord Is My Strength"
in New Prospect's pulpit; and I can still declare today, in 2013, that "The Joy of
The Lord Is My Strength!"
Joy To You,
Deacon Dave and Pastor J
Thank You from Pastor J Page 5
To the entire membership and especially our 50+
volunteers: Thank you for making this year’s
Community Carnival a GREAT success!
Because of your generosity and all of your
nickels, we collected $602.00 for Gleaners Kids
Helping Kids Program! Our annual Youth Day
kicks off our summer programming for young people here at New Prospect.
We anticipate the Holy Spirit moving in a POWERFUL way all summer
long. Don’t miss out on these upcoming events: Baccalaureate Sunday,
Young Adult Talent Night, Young Adult/College Sunday, Vacation Bible
School, Summer Camp and our end of the summer day trip to C. J.
Barrymore! We believe God for every GREAT, BIG, and WONDERFUL
blessing! The Comforter has come! The Holy Spirit is here! And The Holy
Spirit is alive inside of you!
Much Love,
Rev. April
