I THINK OF YOU AND I PRAY FOR YOU, TOO:
Often during a busy day, I pause for a minute to
silently pray,
I mention the names of those I love and treasured friends
I'm fondest of.
For it doesn't matter where we pray, if we honestly mean
the words that we say,
For God is always listening to hear the prayers that are
made by a heart that's sincere.
-Helen Steiner Rice
THE COST OF FOLLOWING GOD:
It cost Abraham the willingness to yield his only son.
It cost Esther the risk of her life.
It cost Daniel being cast into the den of lions.
It cost Meshack, Shadrack and Abed-nego being put
into the fiery furnace.
It cost Stephen death by stoning.
It cost Peter a martyr's death.
It cost Jesus His life.
DOES IT COST YOU ANYTHING?

(Registration fee is not refundable or transferable.)
See Annie this morning if you have other questions. You are
encouraged to go to ESCAPE. It's a great time to draw close
