Verse 1 When upon life?s billows, you are tempest- tossed; When you are discour aged, thinking all is lost; Count your many blessings, name them one by one; And it will sur pr ise you, what the Lord has done. Verse 4 So amid the conflict, whether great or small; Do not be discour aged, God is over all; Count your many blessings, angels will attend; Help and comfor t give you, to your jour neys end. Refrain Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what the Lord has done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what the Lord has done.

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.
