NEW in 2014!  Residential Youth Study!   Theme: "Disabilities and Our Response"

 

This is a study for young people regarding attitudes and

responses toward persons with disabilities. We acknowledge

all as children of God, each created in God's image but

unique. Each person brings different abilities and

disabilities to the community. In God's kingdom, everyone

has a place. Youth will develop a new understanding of

persons with disabilities. Leaders: Rev. Sherri Barnes and Sherry Sink

Independence Day Tribute:
Independence Day Tribute: "This Is My Song"

 

THIS IS MY SONG


This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams on clover-leaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight too and clover,
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
Oh, hear my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for their land and for mine.

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside,
A song of peace.

Music: "Finlandia" by Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)
Words by Lloyd Stone (1912- )
