Tithes, Offerings, and Special Giving: Our tithes and offerings support ministries in our community and around the world. We give to others through our “Dime Sock” where one dime feeds one person for one day. Offerings placed in the basket support Sasha, our sponsored child from the Ukraine.
Do you want to give, but not sure how without an in-person service? Donations can be mailed to Hamilton Community Church of the Nazarene, 5400 Nave Drive, Novato, CA 94949. We are working on providing a process for on-line giving, but no method is currently available.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff— they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
Lord, I Need You
Matt Maher
Verse 1
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
Chorus
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Verse 2
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
Where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Bridge
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Grace Like Rain
Chris Collins, Edwin Excell, John Newton, Todd Agnew
Verse 1
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
And I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly
Chorus
Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, All my stains are washed away
They're washed away
Verse 2
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Verse 3
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun
