Friends, Flannel, & Flapjacks is upon us! We are excited for this opportunity to invite our friends to worship with us who may not be plugged into a community of believers.  The problem with an appliance being unplugged is the lack of access to power to help it accomplish the task for which that machine was created to complete. As Christians, we have two sources to be plugged into to help us accomplish our purpose in life and these are set up by God:

A Sinner’s Prayer

 

Can I go back to Bethel?

I’ve been there oft’ before.

Can I find you, oh Lord of grace?

Will you my faith restore?

 

I shall go back to Bethel!

Just take my faltering hand

And grant Thy love

omnipotent

To this, ‘Jacobean’ man.

 

I’ll struggle with the Spirit

Your blessing to receive.

But please, just stay beside me—

I’m but a child in need.

 

I know in time of trouble,

When things looked dark as night,

You’ve guided, loved and guarded;

And kept me in the right.

 

So, stay here beside me,

Jesus.

This time I’ve none but Thee.

Crowd out all ill

 distractions,

And hear this sinner’s plea.

 

Genesis 35:1-5

 

—— Faye Case

 

 

 

Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.

 

 —-Abraham Lincoln
