Verse
Come now is the time to worship
Come now is the time to give your heart
Come just as you are to worship
Come just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue
Will confess You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains
For those who gladly choose You now

Worship Song, "I Saw the Light"
Verse 1
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Chorus
I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more in night
(And) now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Verse 2
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Verse 3
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light

May Benevolence - Camp Lebanon
Central Baptist Church has been a long time, faithful supporter of Baptist Camp Lebanon. Many in our community have participated in their programs as campers, counselors, and volunteers.
“ There are many ways to get involved at Camp Lebanon: you can donate financially, volunteer as a counselor, participate in a work project, raise money for camper scholarships, donate an item from the Wish List, send a child to camp, pray for our camp, or come up with your own way. No matter where your interests lie, Camp Lebanon has a way to get you involved.”
