SINCE I MET JESUS

Since I met Jesus, Jesus
There's a burning, Oh such a burning, deep down within.
It holds me with an unseen power
And it keeps me free from all sin.

Don't you know that It change, changes me from day to day,
As I walk, I walk along, this narrow way.
And ever since I met Jesus, Yes and since He blessed this old soul of mine.
It makes me want to run on, shouting Hallelujah right to the end.

Since I met Jesus,
I've been toiling, yes in the sunshine, sometimes the rain
But the service that I am giving,

will not be given in vain.

Don't you know that My God, He fixed it so,

It was a long, long time ago
That to heaven, you know, I would surely go

And ever since I met Jesus, Yes and since He blessed this old soul of mine.

It makes me want to run on, shouting Hallelujah right to the end.

His yoke is easy (his yoke is easy, his yoke is easy)
His burdens are light (burdens are light, burdens are light)
But if I just walk (walk where he leads me)
Where he leads me (walk where he leads me)
Then I'll always (always be right) Always be right (always be right)
So I'll just cherish (cherish the race)
Cherish this old race (cherish the race)
Everyday of my life (running with haste)
I'm running with haste (running with haste)
And by God's grace (and by his grace) I
I believe I will (I know I'll make it)
I'll make it home someday (I'll make it home someday)

YOUR LATTER WILL BE GREATER

Your latter will be greater than your past

And you will be blessed more than you could ask

Despite all that has been done, the best is yet to come

And your latter will be greater, your latter will be greater

Your latter will be greater than the rest.

All things are possible, possible, possible

And your latter will be greater, your latter will be greater

Your latter will be greater than the rest.

The best is yet to come

Oh the best is yet to come

The King is soon to come

Oh the King is soon to come

That’s why my heart is filled with praise

Welcome Back Pastor!!!

After months, Greater Framingham Community Church has resumed in-person worship services. Please note the following:

Our order of service will remain as it has been for the past 15 months.
Online worship will continue as it has been during COVID.
Seating for everyone will be on the main floor at your own discretion.
We will have seating for those who want to sit by families or sit in their own socially distance bubble. We will also have seating for those who wish to sit socially distant from others, and open seating.
As you arrive, ushers will assist you in your seating preference.
We ask that you wear a mask when you come to church. You are permitted to remove your mask if you desire when worshiping, but be mindful of others around you. If you have NOT been vaccinated or have not had a two-week period since the second vaccine shot that you not remove your mask at all.
If you have NOT been vaccinated, we ask that you keep your mask on during the entirety of the service as well as when you enter and exit the building.
As you enter the Narthex, you will have an opportunity to pick up the following items before coming into the sanctuary. Worship bulletin, extra mask, hand wipes, sanitizer and on First Sundays Communion elements.
Also in the Narthex, there will be an offering stand for you to deposit your offering before entering or exiting the service.
Restrooms are available. We ask that you limit the number of persons in the space at a time.
The exiting of the sanctuary after service will be coordinated by the ushers. They will direct individuals row by row to avoid crowding during the exit process. We ask that you exit the sanctuary immediately and not linger in the building.
On Sunday mornings, the church will be open for in-person Adult Christian Education classes. Classes are taught by Rev. Lackard and Minister Thompson, which will meet in the Fellowship Hall. A mask must be worn and social distance practices are required. On-line Sunday classes taught by Kathy Oliver Jones will continue to meet via Zoom.

We pray that the worship experience is enriching and that you will feel safe as we worship together U
