A thought for today!
“Don’t Quit”
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit—
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.

NOTICES OF INTEREST
“A New Era of Faith” Hebrews 12:1-2
God is calling us to be faithful as leaders and as a congregation in our season just as those who
came before us were faithful in their season. We must acknowledge and embrace this as our
season, while at the same time learning from those that came before us that ran their race and
made great progress. We must now receive the baton and continue the progress. We cannot
afford to be stagnant as there is no victory in running in place. Our race is different as our
season is different but our prize is the same. We all run for an imperishable crown rather than a
temporary trophy. While there will be external weights or obstacles, we must overcome them
through our faithfulness and run boldly into this New Era of Faith.
