Community-wide Celebration

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

August 7, 2011 Dear Fountain of Life Family and Friends, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ and welcome you to our 5th Anniversary Celebration worship services. As you are aware the Fountain of Life was founded in 2006 in obedience to God’s call to plant a church in this community. In response to that call we set forth two simple goals: to honor God and serve the people.

To that end we have offered vibrant Word-centered worship services, contemporary weekly bible studies, a Sunday morning Adult Learning experience, a Children’s Church, Holy Week observances that focus on the purpose of the Resurrection and periodic spiritual retreats. In addition, we have continued to add ministries both within and outside of the walls of the church as we seek to serve the needs of those in our community.

On behalf of our church I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and ask that you continue to hold us up in your prayers.

God’s Best Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Cathy Clardy Patterson Founding Pastor

CALL TO WORSHIP M = Minister | C = Congregation M:

I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord, our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

C:

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

M:

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

C:

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God.

M:

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Lord, I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwelleth.

C:

For the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him.

M:

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

C:

O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth, and sing his praises.

Abridged Decalogue Hymn: From all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator’s praise arise; Let the Redeemer’s name be sung.

Through every land, by every tongue M:

And God spake all these words, saying: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the House of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

C:

(To be Sung) Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

M:

Hear what Christ our Saviour saith, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

GLORIA PATRI: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

Lyrics for Worship Services We've Come This Far By Faith (Chorus)

We've come this far by faith, Leaning on the Lord Trusting in His Holy word, He never failed me yet Oh' Can't Turn Around, We've come this far by faith (Repeat) Verse

1. Don’t be discouraged when trouble is in your life, He’ll bear Your burdens and move all misery and Strife. That’s why we’ve....

(Chorus) 2. Just the other day, I heard a man say He did not believe in God's word But I can truly say, the Lord has made a way He's never failed me yet (Chorus)

Oh' Can't Turn Around We've come this far by faith . . . .

“I Am on the Battlefield for my Lord” I am on the battlefield for my Lord Yes, I’m on the battlefield for my Lord And I promised Him that I Would serve Him till I die I am on the battlefield for my Lord.

Verses 1. I was alone and idle, I was a sinner, too; I heard a voice from heaven Say there is work to do. I took the Master’s hand, And I joined the Christian band; I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.

2. I left my friends and kindred, Bound for the Promised Land, The grace f God upon me, The Bible in my hand. In distant lands I trod, Crying sinner come to God; I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.

3. Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a smile; He healed my wounded spirit, And owned me as His child. Around the throne of grace, He appoints my soul a place; I’m on the battlefield for my Lord

“Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling” 1. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, Calling for you and for me; See on the portals He’s waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me.

(Refrain)

Come home, come home, Ye who are weary, come home; Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home!

2. Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me?

Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me?

HOLY COMMUNION The General Confession Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word and deed against Your divine Majesty, provoking most justly Your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us.

Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please You in the newness of live, to the honor and glory of Your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

We honor those who gave us a foundation and shaped our lives.

Virgil S. Smith, Jr. November 14, 1914 – May 15, 1979 A GREAT husband, father, grandfather and entrepreneur. A man of God who was an excellent provider for his family and a role model for many in the community. He supported his daughters in all their endeavors and made sure we knew what good jazz was.

Jacqueline Marie Williams (nee Smith) July 24, 1953 – March 12, 2003 A loving wife, daughter and sister. Jackie made us laugh and brought light to the world through her smile and her joyful spirit.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have not need of spoil.

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

Proverbs 31:10-12

Florence Patience Glover Smith October 26, 1917 – March 2, 2011 A loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Guest Speaker – Pastor Richard Burrell Richard Burrell, is the Pastor of Mount Pleasant Church in Buckeye Arizona, and is the youngest man to ever be appointed by the church elders to serve as leader and role model before its congregation. He was elected to this position of trust in May 2001, and at the time of his appointment the church consisted of three members. Today, under his vision and guidance, Pastor Burrell leads a growing congregation of over 300 members.

With an honorary doctorate degree and two earned master degrees (one in Biblical Studies and Theology from Canterbury University).

Pastor Burrell is using his education and expanding vision to establish multiple ministries and programs, to serve the most vulnerable population. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Buckeye Outreach for Social Services (BOSS) a 501(c)(3) IRS approved nonprofit faith-based organization founded in September 2005. This organization was created to empower individuals and families to achieve self-reliance. He is also the CEO and Founder of Richard Burrell Ministries and Burrell Property Management.

Pastor Burrell is the first African American to attend and complete Buckeye Leadership Academy, and in 2008 he was the first African American to receive two Community Service awards one for Relay For Life Cancer Awareness and for work being done through BOSS. His dream was to have the Town of Buckeye (TOB) celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s holiday, so he planned, sought, and received funding from the Town of Buckeye for the first ever Martin Luther King, Jr., Diversity Day which took place on January 16, 2007 and continues planning events around Dr. King’s message of “Diversity.” As a result of his diligence the Town of Buckeye now observes this holiday. He is a faithbased consultant who is sought by local, state, and national faith-based groups for vision, design and the implementation of community-based programs and growing small churches. His latest outreach ministry is HIV/AIDs education among rural isolated populations of socially, economically and educationally disadvantaged individuals. He has spoken at numerous motivational, fund raising and a “call to action” events.

When he is not shepherding or being a spiritual father to his congregation, he volunteers his time, visions and talents to participate on panels, organizations and committees that are focused on helping and healing individuals, families and communities. Some of the positions that he currently holds are; original board member to the Town of Buckeye Faith Builders and sits on TOB committees for the Homeless and Transportation, Consultant to the Governor’s Council, 3 rd Vice President of NAACP of Maricopa County, Religious Affairs Officer, he is a Silver Life Member of the NAACP and Chaplin of NOBLE (National Organization Black Law Enforcement Executives.)

On February 14, 2009, Pastor Burrell was given the James Love Bryant award for his tireless effort for getting the message of HIV/AIDs out not only through outreach programs but also from the pulpit.

Normally this award is given to groups and organizations for their work within the HIV/AIDs community, however; Pastor Burrell is the first ever to receive this award as an individual. Also, to his credit Pastor Burrell has received countless certificates, honorable mentions and plaques for his work with HIV/AIDs. Pastor Burrell lives his convictions; he says what he means and means what he says. Pastor Burrell has a unique quality in the way he conveys his message, when he explains it an infant can understand it! He is a devoted husband to Tamie and dad to Tamar, Marc, Richard, Lareesha and London.

It's so hard to believe that 12 years have passed since the day you left this earth to go home to be with the Lord.

There are not enough words to express how much you are loved and missed.

You were an inspiration to us all, and you still are.

Not a day goes by that you aren't thought of and missed. Your memory will remain in our hearts until the day we meet again in heaven.

We love & miss you, Virginia P. Clardy

WE HAVE BEEN COMMISSIONED (Matthew 28:18-20)* The purpose of Fountain of Life shall be to fulfill The Great Commission issued by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We shall do so by being a S.P.I.R.I.T. filled church.

Thus, we shall:

Save the world

We shall do so by participating in global ministries.

(Mark 28:19)

Present in our home

We shall begin to fulfill the commission in our own homes. (Ephesians 6:14)

Involved in our community

We shall be involved in every aspect of our communities. (1 John 3:18)

Responsible for our neighbors

We shall act like the Good Samaritan and take responsibility for our neighbors.

(Luke 10: 25-37)

In tune to God’s will

Our actions shall be directed by His will not ours.

(Matthew 6: 10)

Transparent

We shall be “truth tellers” to each other and to all authorities. (Zechariah 8:16) and (2 Samuel 12:1-9)

In short, we shall honor God and serve the needs of the people. *18

And Jesus came to them and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: 20and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you: And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

(Mathew 28:18-20) NRSV
