Sharing this time, at this moment, here

at Price Chapel with you warms our

heart. We hope your visit here will be a

life changing and comforting encounter

with God.

At Price Chapel AME Church, our doors

are wide open in hopes to create an

environment of unity filled with love

where you can connect with people, learn

about Christ and grow in your faith.

God has brought you here for a reason. This is a place where you can

work out your soul salvation to be a blessing for God and others. All the

wonderful blessings He has bestowed upon you can be acknowledged

through great works.

So, if you are just checking out the "church scene" and investigating the

claims of Jesus Christ, thank you for allowing us to help you in your

search. However, if you are a committed Christ-follower who wants to

pursue your faith to even greater dimensions, you can find a home here

at Price Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Please call if you need to speak someone at (323) 296-2406. We’re also

here if you would like to meet with someone. To make an appointment

through email write to: [email protected].

Again, we are grateful for your company and encourage you to feel

comfortable to praise and worship in your own way. We believe the more

praises that go up, the more blessings come down.

We love you in the Lord and there is nothing you can do about it!

LEADER: 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. Psalm 122:1-2

PEOPLE: 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. Psalm 84:10

LEADER: Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy

good. Psalm 122:9

PEOPLE: Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, shall

flourish in the courts of our God. Psalm 92:13

LEADER: Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, (Psalm 84:4) Lord,

I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy honor dwelleth.

Psalm 26:8

PEOPLE: For the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep

silence before Him. Habakkuk 2:20

LEADER: Let the words of our mouth, and the meditation of our

heart be acceptable in thy sight, Oh Lord, our strength and our

Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Page 5: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56

Opening Hymn #450

Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine

1. Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of

glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of

His spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:

This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the

day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my

Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture

now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from

above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Refrain

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Savior am happy

and blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with

His goodness, lost in His love.

Refrain

Page 6: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56

SCRIPTURE READING - NEW TESTAMENT

HEBREWS 5:7-10 (Please Stand and Read Responsively)

LEADER 7: While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and

pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him

from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep

reverence for God.

PEOPLE 8: Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience

from the things he suffered.

LEADER 9: In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and

he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him.

ALL TOGETHER 10: And God designated him to be a High Priest in

the order of Melchizedek.

ONLINE GIVING THROUGH TITHE.LY

Page 7: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56

FROM ALL THAT DWELL BELOW THE SKIES, LET THY CREATOR’S PRAISE

ARISE; LET THY REDEEMER’S NAME BE SUNG, THROUGH EVERY LAND BY

EVERY TONGUE.

LEADER: Hear what Christ our savior 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 thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the

prophets.

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, AMEN.

“Did you know that Jesus Chris is Lord? Well He is and He loves you and

wants to be your Lord and Savior. A lot of people want to be saved but

just don’t know how.”

Romans 10:9 says: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord

and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be

saved.”

Are you willing to pray the Prayer of Salvation?

Lord Jesus, forgive me for all my sins, I believe that You died on the cross,

was buried, and on the third day God the Father raised You from the

dead. Right now, Lord Jesus, I open the door to my HEART and I receive

you, into my HEART, as my Lord and Savior.

According to the prayer you just prayed, where is the Lord Jesus?

Page 8: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56
Page 9: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56

Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you

well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. James 5:15

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 unto Heaven and sitteth

at 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 sins, the resurrection of the body

and life everlasting. Amen

Black History Tidbit – Women’s History Month Women’s History continues by honoring a few women in the church.

The earliest black female preacher was a Methodist woman simply known as

Elizabeth. She held her first prayer meeting in Baltimore in 1808 and preached

for about 50 years before retiring to Philadelphia to live among the Quakers.

A legacy of African-American women preachers persisted even long after

Elizabeth. Reverend Jarena Lee became the first African-American woman to

preach at the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church.

In 2000, McKenzie became the first woman to be elected as bishop in the

denomination's history. She later served as President of the Council of Bishops,

becoming the first woman to serve as Titular head of the AME Church.

Rev. Carolyn Tyler Guidry, became the first female appointed to presiding elder

in the Fifth Episcopal District, in 1994. As a presiding elder she supervises 19

A.M.E. churches in Los Angeles.

Page 13: Scripture: Luke 12: 54-56

2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your

heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful

giver.”

Tithing means you're being obedient to God, so you should give without

expecting anything in return.

SUNDAY SCHOOL – 8:30AM - Adults 9:00AM - 9:30AM - Children

Looking forward to seeing as many people as we can in Sunday

School. Blessings of LOVE.
