Know that the Lord is God; It is he who made us,
And we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter His gates with Thanksgiving and His courts with praise;
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever……..
We are Thankful to serve Him as Stephen Ministers.
