WELCOME

A warm welcome is extended to everyone today. We pray that everyone will be edified and encouraged as we worship our Heavenly Father together. If you are

visiting with us we welcome you and invite you to come back again.

It is hard...

To forget

To apologize

To save money

To be unselfish

To avoid mistakes

To keep out of a rut

To begin all over again

To make the best of all things

To keep your temper at all times

To think first and act afterwards

To maintain a high standard

To keep on keeping on

To shoulder blame

To be charitable

To admit error

To take advice

To forgive

But it always pays!

(Based on Matthew 7:1-2)

SOMEONE HAD PRAYED
 
 

The day was long, the burden I had borne

Seemed heavier than I could longer bear,

And then it lifted, but I did not know

Someone had knelt in prayer;

Had taken me to God that very hour,

And asked the easing of the load, and He,

In infinite compassion, had stooped down

And taken it from me.
 
 

We cannot tell how often as we pray

For some bewildered one,

Hurt and distressed,

The answer comes,

But many times those hearts

Find sudden peace and rest.

Someone had prayed,

And Faith, a reaching hand,

Took hold of God,

And brought Him down that day!

So many, many hearts

Have need of prayer:

Oh, let us pray!
