A Warm Welcome
A warm welcome to everyone to day! And welcome to our guest Lay Reader, Rae Phillips, who has kindly stepped in while Rev. Belle is away.
May God speak to you throughout the service knowing and believing that He still speaks to us today. His voice speaks with absolute truth and reveals the deepest secrets of our hearts. No voice anywhere, anytime can reach as deep or lift as high or carry as far as the voice of God.
“Open my eyes to see wonderful things in Your Word.” Psalm 119:18 (TLB)
