Responsive Reading (Psalm 23) Rev. Beth Graham

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

She was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. Mrs. Hamilton was a member of First Christian Church, where, until recent years, she participated in the Stuart Class, Christian Women’s Fellowship, and many other activities.
