HEAVEN CAME DOWN O what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget; After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met. O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart; Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart. Chorus Heaven came down and glory filled my soul When at the cross the Savior made me whole My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day, Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time; I have a future in heaven for sure there in those mansions sublime. And it's because of that wonderful day, when at the cross I believed; Riches eternal and blessings supernal, from His precious hand I received.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR I need thee every hour Most gracious Lord No tender voice like thine Can peace afford I need thee oh I need thee Every hour I need thee Oh bless me now my savior I come to thee I need thee every hour Stay thou near by Temptations loose their power

MISSIONS

The great love of Christ “During a recent volunteer team’s visit, we shared the gospel in more than 25 homes using BGR buckets (Baptist Global Response’s Hospice Kits) as a means to bless Fishing Camp village in Zambia. Praise God that we saw 27 people put their faith in Christ, many of them through tears at the realization that God could forgive all of their sins. “Some of these affected by HIV/AIDs were young; one girl was only 16 years old. We could see the fear and pain in their eyes. How awesome it was to watch God remove that fear and replace it with His joy and presence! “Pray with us, James and Marci Langston, as we return to this area to begin to disciple these new believers. Pray that God will help us to meet the many physical needs that are present, while also showing them the great love that Christ has for them.”

SYMPATHY TO:

Alvin & Linda Emmons in the loss of his brother, Frankie Richards.
