God’s Family Worships
4th Sunday After Pentecost
June 25,2023 – 11:00A.M.
In this world, vows are often broken, promises are often forgotten, contracts are often not honored, and treaties are often not kept, but promises of God endure forever. Come let us worship the Lord God who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty. Amen.

Help of the helpless O, abide with me

Life has brand new meaning
It’s gonna be brighter day, brighter day
