A prayer from Desmond Tutu's African prayer book:

A Balm in Gilead

There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. 

Sometimes I feel discouraged, I think my works in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. 

If you can’t preach like Peter, if you can’t pray like Paul, just tell the love of Jesus, and say he died for all.

Tithes To Your Church

In order to continue the life of your church, it is so important that you continue to send in your tithe.

We have made it very easy to either mail a check, or use our online PayPal button.

If you are a regular giver & have some extra capacity, to give to your church, we ask you to dig deep & help us keep our doors open.

God requests the first fruits of our labors & will always bless the giver. God has promised to supply ALL of our needs, if we just follow God's commandments.

You can donate online, by clicking on the button below

Or, you can also mail in a check, payable to God's Acre MCC, to our PO Box mailing address.
