What God
And His
Church Mean
To ME
|our Guide as he walks with us
'and we hear His oft-repeated
|words, “Fear net,” “Be not
| afraid.”
i B wonderful to knew how
' much God cares fer us, and all
|He aeks of us is our love and
| faithfulness.
| The church of God has had a
iwonderful influence in my life,
las it should have in every life
;m every eommunity,
| The commercial value of all
| our property would be worth
less were there no churches in
our community,
‘ The fellowship we enjoy in
| the church makes us more sym
'§pathmr and understanding,
| makes us want to share other’s
| sorrows and burdens whenever
|and wherever we can.
| Religion in the ehurch should
ibo that which one finds himself
| experiencing daily under all
circumstances.
‘ M is that intangible something
{the ehurch has to offer that is
{in fact ever present aand always
:Hvailable tea person, It is where
one can turn during mements of
distress amd despair.
In the Church we find an
| awareness or conviction of the
|existence of a supreme being, a
| supernatural power or influences
| sontrolling one’'s own destiny.
*’l‘he church acte as a buttress
| against evil which, ameng other
