I give of myself to Saint Paul's Because
|
Early one Easter Sunday morning, my new, young, beautiful wife and I were returning from Sunrise Services on the Riverwalk levee to our car. We had to walk past a beautiful church called Saint Paul's when the chimes from the bell tower began to ring a lovely hymn in the early morning mist. I was reminded of the time when Jesus told Peter that he would build his church on faith and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. The demons of fire, flood and discord have beat against this church and it has prevailed against all these forces. This realization made me determined to make Saint Paul's my faith based home because I believe that my own faith can prevail against all the forces brought against me with the love and support of the church membership as we strive to keep the faith of Jesus Christ.
