Hymn of Invitation - #446 “We’ve a Story To Tell To the Nations”
Verse 1
We've a story to tell to the nations
That shall turn their hearts to the right
A story of truth and mercy
A story of peace and light
A story of peace and light
Chorus
For the darkness shall turn to dawning
And the dawning to noon-day bright
And Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth
The kingdom of love and light
Verse 2
We've a song to be sung to the nations
That shall lift their hearts to the Lord
A song that shall conquer evil
And shatter the spear and sword
And shatter the spear and sword
Verse 3
We've a message to give to the nations
That the Lord who reigneth above
Hath sent us His Son to save us
And show us that God is love
And show us that God is love
Verse 4
We've a Savior to show to the nations
Who the path of sorrow hath trod
That all of the world's great peoples
Might come to the truth of God
Might come to the truth of God

JUNE BENEVOLENCE - ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” - Matthew 5:14-15
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…Let it shine…Let it shine…”
If Jesus had a playlist of music, surely this familiar hymn would be among the Top Five. Jesus teaches that faith calls for action. Sharing our light, as the diverse and colorful expression of Gold’s love here on earth, leads to making blankets, staffing food pantries, cooking meals, building houses and schools, signing petitions for worth causes, and protesting injustices. A simple song with a simple message-our light is on a light stand, for all to see-shine and share. On any give day, light is shining because we are there through our gifts to OGHS. Your contributions make a difference. Your dollars count. Give generously at www.abc-oghs.org or offering envelopes are on the table in the hallway.
