FAITH
Few steps of faith equal smooth sailing, but that doesn’t mean
they’re not worth taking. Put your hope in the fact that
the God who calls you will catch you. – Charles Stanley
Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted,
in spite of your changing moods. – C.S. Lewis
Don’t be afraid to step out in faith for God.
You will never get to walk on water
if you won’t step out of the boat. – Anonymous

Prayer for our Church Family
Lord, we ask that You bestow Your wisdom on us. In all our situations give us the discernment to hear Your voice and Your voice alone. We don’t want to lean on our own knowledge because it lets us down at times. Speak to us in the way You know we will hear You best. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
