    traditional worship

    The opening and closing hymns frame this mornings


    worship. Based on Psalm 103, Praise, My Soul, the King of
    Heaven, alludes to the various reasons my soul praises
    the Lord. Ive been ransomed, healed, restored, and
    forgiven by the Kings grace and favor. Those who
    are in distress refers to the Israelites in Egypt and
    the desert trials which followed. There is loneliness
    and separation from God, even in Gods presence.
    The closing hymn likewise refers to the Israelites in
    the desert but also includes Zion city of our God, a
    reference to the Church. The streams of living water
    refer to the times when God provided water out of the
    rocks during the forty years of wandering in the desert.
    The hymn writer underscores Gods continual presence
    with His people by the reference to the pillar by
    night and shade by day, the pillar of fire and cloud
    by day which led the people in the years of wandering.
    The people were never alone. The verses are filled with
    biblical allusions. Both tunes beautifully match the
    spirit and meaning of the texts. God is sufficient and
    present in what seems like loneliness. His presence
    hovers over us. -Dr. Dan Sharp

    We are thrilled to have two ministry partners with us in


    worship this morning.

    Nader Awad is an Evangelist for the Presbytery of Florida.


    Originally from Egypt, he also works in partnership with First
    Pres to assist other churches in our Presbytery.

    Luis Quiones is the founding/planting pastor of our church


    plant in Haines City, Florida - Nacin Santa. He was received
    into the EPC at the Presbytery meeting last May. Currently,
    Nacin Santa already has 100 people in worship and is
    the first Spanish-speaking Reformed church in the state of
    Florida.
    HURRICANE IRMA RELIEF
    For many of us, it's been a long couple of weeks.
    We're grateful for the prayers and the way we've
    seen our church family and community come
    together before and after Hurricane Irma.
    We will know more in the coming days about
    how you can help, but here are three ways to get
    started:
    GIVE FINANCIALLY
    We're collecting donations to meet needs directly in the
    community for those affected by Hurricane Irma.
    To contribute, put IRMA in the memo line of your check,
    or give online this morning on our mobile-friendly giving
    portal at fpco.org/give. Choose "One time gift" or "Quick
    Give" and then "Irma Relief" in the drop down menu next
    to the amount.

    LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS


    We've been so encouraged by the stories of the First
    Pres family giving, cleaning, welcoming, helping and
    feeding people this week. Keep it up! Be Jesus Christ on
    your street. If you have power, freeze ice for someone
    who is living out of a cooler. Charge a cell phone. Offer
    a hot shower, a cold drink or cook a meal that doesn't
    come out of a can. Look for seniors or neighbors with
    special needs who need yard cleanup or repairs. Don't
    wait to be asked.

    PRAY FOR FLORIDA


    We grieve for the loss of life from this storm. Pray for
    people who are facing the future without someone they
    love.
    Pray for those who are still without power, because living
    without electricity is a huge pain.
    Pray for those who are facing financial hardship because
    of this storm, and for God's provision.
    Pray for those who have lost their homes or businesses,
    or who are coming home to flooded houses and ruined
    belongings.
    Pray for anyone who has to utter the word "Insurance
    claim."
    Praise Jesus for first responders, utility workers (bless!),
    government officials who haven't slept, and anyone with
    a chainsaw.
