By:Johnny Lange Verse 1 I was weak and wear y, I had gone astr ay, Walking in the darkness, I couldn?t find my way. Then a light came shining to lead me from despair, All my sins for given, and I was free from care. Verse 3 Keep your Bible with you, read it ev?r y day, Always count your blessings and always stop to pr ay.
Lear n to keep believing and faith will see you thro?, Seek to know contentment, and it will come to you. Refrain I found the answer, I lear ned to pr ay. With faith to guide me, I found the way. The sun is shining for me each day, I found the answer, I lear ned to pr ay. (Verse 2 omitted.)

Please remember to be faithful stewards and take care of your tithes and offering to our church. We have several ways in which to do so, but why not try something different at least one time. Since many of us have been away from the church for so long, just drive out to the church and bring your tithes and offering and put it in our secured mailbox. It?s nothing like coming on the church grounds; it gives you a different feeling. Come meditate and say a prayer. Yes, you can do this anywhere, but come to the church, sit in your vehicle, or in our picnic area, or our Place of Healing , but just step foot on the grounds, and pay your church a visit; and see how you feel, you?ll be glad that you did. Please note that we have added fund lines for the "Food Pantry" and "Sacrifical Offering" in Fund 2
