Hymn: 437 Caller: Catherine Reason: We haven't sang the song in a long time, so we missed the song. However, the words of the song are very enjoyable.

Hymn: 210 Caller: Han Reason: I've found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me, He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul! Hallelujah, that Jesus is our friend.

2 Timothy 3:7-8
Hymns sang:
Hymn: Create in me a clean heart, O God Caller: Eric Reason: Shortly before Eric called this hymn, we were pray reading 2 Timothy. This song pertains to the subject we were praying over. We all asked the Lord to give us a pure heart. Eric felt that this song would be a good prayer to the Lord.
Hymn: Fallen, thats the way we all begin Caller: Gina Reason: We can pray to the Lord about certain matters, but do they ever come true? The only way to cause all the problems in the church to go away is to call on the name of the Lord! We have so many problems and troubles, but all these will go away when we simply call on the Lord's name!
Hymn: But what things were gains to me Caller: Eric Reason: A common prayer in Fremont is that the Lord will give us all a clean heart to pursue Christ. Eric felt that this song was appropriate since it is from Philippians 3:7-14, which talks on the matter of pursuing Christ.
Hymn: 569 Caller: Gina Reason: There has been so many instances and situations lately among the church and it's all because we lack trust in Christ. After singing this song, she hoped the Lord will renew our faith in us.

Brothers: 10
Sisters: 9
Hymn: 645 Caller: Hua Reason: Hua felt that we needed to turn our eyes upon Jesus. After a long hard week in the world, our eyes may be turned away. By singing this hymn, it made us realize that we need to turn away from the world.
Hymn: 643 Caller: Eric Reason: Eric felt that we need to take to behold Jesus. When we are in our flesh, we often behold other things, so we need to turn away from these things, and just behold the Lord!
Hymn: 1079 Caller: Grace Reason: Grace wanted each of us to know that without the Savior, nothing in our lives would matter. We can have everything in the world, but still have nothing if we do not have the Savior.
Hymn: 1080 Caller: Hua Reason: Hua enjoyed that everything in the world is simply vanity. Nothing in this world compares to Christ. Everything is temporary, but the enjoyment of Christ is eternal!
Hymn: God has called us for His purpose Caller: Gina Reason: Gina felt that we were often times distracted in the meetings (talking, laughing, etc.). None of this would happen if we would see the vision of the Lord's economy! We should be seeing this vision of the Lord's economy clearly and let it direct our hearts.
