Our Father,
who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever. Amen.

NEW WOMEN’S SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS Join us on January
24, 2010 at
9:45 AM for a new Bible study “Living a
Life of Balance” So many of us yearn
for balance in our lives. We hope to find that precise
alignment which will leave all our daily responsibilities in perfect
harmony. But as believers, we seem
to have so many more ways to be thrown off-balance. We aren’t just balancing our household
schedules with work, diet, rest, and exercise. No ma’am!
That might take care of physical balance. But we must also consider the spiritual
balance of our lives. What is the
state of our heart? How are we
handling the tenuous balance between faith and sight, between love and
obedience, between longing and contentment? Join us as we discover this together! For more information
