SERVICE FOLDER


To everything there is a season, 
And a time to every purpose 
under the heaven. 
A time to plant and 
a time to harvest ... 
Taken from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 


As God sows and reaps 
Each tiny seed in the soil, 
He cares for us from first light 
And far beyond our earthly toil.
