Paul said in l Corinthi-
ans 10:31, “….whatsoever
you do, do all in the glo-
ry of God”. We need
to show our love for Je-
sus by doing the very best
we can in whatever area
the Lord has called us to
serve in. Do it all for
God’s glory.
Our Mission: We exist to obey Jesus Christ by
continuously reaching out to create relation-
ships and share Christ’s story in order to make
mature disciples.

THE PRAYER OF A NATION
Almighty God, who has given us
this good land for our heritage, we
humbly beseech Thee that we may
always prove ourselves a people
mindful to Thy favor and be glad to
do Thy will.
Bless our land with honorable in-
dustry, sound learning, and pure
manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and
confusion, from pride and arrogancy,
and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties and fashion
into one united people the multitudes
brought out of many kindreds and
tongues.
Endue with the spirit of wisdom
those to whom in Thy name we en-
trust the authority of government, that
there may be peace and justice at
home and that, through obedience to
Thy law, we may show forth Thy
praise among the nations of the
Earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our
hearts with thankfulness, and the day
of trouble suffer not our trust in thee
to fail.
