SERVICE FOLDER 

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall

not want.  He maketh me to lie

down in green pastures; He leadeth

me beside the still waters.  He

restoreth my soul; He leadeth me

in the paths of righteousness for

His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the

valley of the shadow of death, I will

fear no evil; for Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort

me; Thou preparest a table before

me in the presence of mine enemies;

Thou anointest my head with oil,

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life;

and I will dwell in the house of the

Lord forever.
