16 written statements, 9 texts, 3 tweets, and 1 email. A total of 29 statements. There were 98 people here in worship last week that means about 30% of you responded. There were a lot of kids here last week as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I believe in God, I believe in the Trinity, the message of the Holy Spirit. Equality is new. I see, hear, and feel God in everything. Don’t always know what to do.

I believe in God. I believe he is with us in our sorrow and our happiness. I was drawn to God through the death of my loved one. Thank you God.

I believe in God and the Holy Trinity. I draw my strength from God every day. God is light in the dark. God is love. God is hope.

God will have things happen for a reason. Good or bad in my opinion anyway.

God is my rock. He takes my worries & fears away. He knows my next step before I make it.

As a child I have always believed in God and lived my life to show my family the way they should live.

I know that my Redeemer lives and because he died for my sins I will see him and my heavenly Father one day.

God is with me every moment of every day. I love God.

I believe in our Father God. He shows me his strength and love through my relationships and actions. I believe in God. He is my rock and redeemer. I am because of God. Everyday I thank the Lord our God for his loving kindness and his many blessings!

Remember doing well to those about you & thanking God in actions rather than words.

I believe in the Father Almighty. My faith is strong in love and forgiveness. And my God is the only way of truth and righteousness.

God is my friend in times of troubles, to help me through the trying times. He will be with me to the end of my earthly life.

I believe in Jesus Christ, I have tried to be a better person. I do believe he made all animals and things in the world. He has been so good to me. When I sinned he was always with me at the time I did not know.

I believe God is almighty. His son, Jesus is God incarnate that showed us what his Father wanted us to do. The Holy Spirit is God within us. That will tell us when it is time to live God’s word. I am merely the instrument of sharing God’s love with the world to help make this world closer to what God tells us what Heaven is like

I believe in God. He presents us with the trials of life as opportunities to further strengthen our relationship with Him. #TOF2015

God is the light in the darkness. God is the little things and the big things. God is the thick and the thin. God is everything. #TOF2015

I believe that God constantly shows Godself in our life, in others & in nature to make this world better. #TOF2015

I love God. God is in the sunrise I wakeup to and the sunset I watch as the day closes. God is the beauty I love to see each and everyday. God inspires me!!

God is good. God is love. I can see God (good) in the faces of the congregants on Sunday morning. I can hear God in the hymns and the choir anthem. I can sense God in the voices of the Children's time. And I can feel God (Love) in the morning prayers. 

I believe God has given me many gifts and many blessing.

I believe in God. I believe in hope, love, peace, faith, freedom, and, most of all, family.

I feel that God has given me the talents and abilities, that I have, so that I may better help others. 

I believe in God. He holds my hand and guides me every day. He answers my prayers and through His son, Jesus, I am saved.

I believe God is a loving God and a forgiving God.

God consistently lays out my junk and shortcomings for me to face despite my efforts to conceal them.  God has a sense of humor; which he gave me to help people feel comfortable with their own faults and rise above....also barefeet in dirt.  God must enjoy that too.

I BELIEVE!! I believe in God.  He has always been a part of my life.  In the Good times and in the Bad times he is always there.  I haven't always been there for him, but no matter what I do or where I go I know that he is in me and with me.  I BELIEVE!!
