WE WORSHIP THROUGH PROCLAMATION Anthem “Eternal Life” Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O divine master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Message: “On Drawing Near to God” Dr. Timothy K.
