~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRAISE IS WHAT I DO
Praise is what I do when I want to be close to You
I lift my hands in praise
Praise is who I am, I will praise You while I can
I'll bless You at all times
CHORUS
I vow to praise You through the good and the bad
I'll praise You whether happy or sad
I'll praise You in all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cause I owe it all to You
Praise is what I do even when I'm going through
I've learned to worship You
No my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance
My praise outweighs the bad
REPEAT CHORUS
VAMP
Praise is what I do - it's what I do
GIVE ME A CLEAN HEART
Give me a clean heart so I may serve thee.
Lord, fix my heart so that I may be used by thee.
For I'm not worthy of all those blessings.
Give me a clean heart and I'll follow thee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DON'T DO IT WITHOUT ME
Lord whatever You're doing in this season
Please don't do it without me
Don't do it without me
Lord, if you're healing, healing in this season
Please don't do it without me
Don't do it without me
Lord, if you're blessing, blessing in this season
Please don't do it without me
Don't do it without me
VAMP
Don't do it without me
HOLY COMMUNION
When we approach God's Holy Table, we do so with respect and reverence for who God is. It is not done with noise, commotion, moving around, or confusion. Please respect God by respecting His Holy Table.
CONFESSION OF FAITH
The church acknowledges as its head, God, the Creator of all heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit the Comforter. It acknowledges as brothers and sisters in Christ, all who share in this confession. It believes that all of those who are committed to building of God's Kingdom and strive to keep His commandments are invited to partake of the Lord's Supper and that all such, with their families, are invited to the Ordinance of Baptism.
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH:
“APOSTLES” CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal], the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
THE LORD’S SUPPER
I Corinthians 11: 23 – 34
Pastor: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you. That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
People: And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Pastor: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
People: For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he comes.
Pastor: Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
People: But let a person examine themselves, and so let them eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
Pastor: For they that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to themselves, not discerning the Lord’s body.
People: For this cause, many are weak in [Faith] and sick among you, and many sleep.
Pastor: For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
People: But when we judge, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Pastor: Wherefore, my friends, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
All: And if a person hungers, let them eat at home; that they come not together to this table, disregarding its purpose, and unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

HEARTS AROUND FRAMINGHAM; Michael Talbot
"Many Cultures, One Heart" - Framingham Centre Common Cultural District
Hearts Around Framingham
We are so proud of the artist work that adorns the front of the church when you enter. It was created by our very own Michael Talbot. .Here what Michael says about his creation.
Our heart design for the heart sculpture by GFCC ,is called "New Growth, New Generations."
One side of the sculpture will depict a sprouting seed and new green roots reaching out into its surroundings, while the other shows the stump of an already fully grown, deep rooted, yet harvested tree but with a new sprout growing from one edge of the stump. The idea/concept is to highlight the importance of planting and nurturing new seeds/individuals and encouraging that new growth within the community, while honoring and acknowledging the importance of one's roots as well as previous generations, and how that also helps with developing and nurturing these new growths within individuals. The design utilizes black, gold, and green as a nod to the sizable Jamaican populace not just within GFCC, but also within Framingham as a whole. Additionally, it pays homage back to the summer camp I grew up with during my time in Jamaica, also titled "New Generations Summer Camp."
Sincerely,
Michael Talbot
