Good morning

A prayer from Desmond Tutus: African prayer book:

For the Wonder of Your Love

Oh glorious God, we give you thanks: In your son Jesus Christ you have given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

You chose us, before the world was made, to be your holy people, without fault in your sight. You adopted us as your children in Christ.

You have set us free by his blood, you have forgiven our sins. You have made known to us your secret purpose, to bring heaven and earth into unity in Christ. You have given us your Holy Spirit, the seal and pledge of your inheritance.

All praise and glory be yours, oh God for the richness of your grace, for the splendor of your gifts, and the wonder of your love, amen 

                                                                                        inspired by Ephesians 1:3–18

In Christ

August Sabbatical

Just a reminder that Rev. Janice is taking a well earned sabbatical, during August.

All services have been pre-recorded & are available online each week, via our Facebook page, or our YouTube channel, so you won't miss out on regular worship.

Letty Cortez (Vice Moderator) & Maureen Perry (Board Treasurer) will be your first points of contact, in an emergency, during August.

PLEASE continue to tithe during August, whilst Rev. Janice is on sabbatical; we have made it very easy for you 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 this week, 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.
