Verse of the Week:
No saint on earth lives life to self alone Or dies alone, for we with Christ are one. So if we live, for Christ alone we live, And if we die, to Christ our dying give. In living and in dying this confess: We are the Lord’s, safe in God’s faithfulness. For to this end our Lord by death was slain, That to new life He might arise again. Through sorrow on to triumph Christ has led, And reigns o’er all: the living and the dead. In living and in dying, Him we bless; We are the Lord’s, safe in God’s faithfulness.
