We pray you to ever turn away from sin unto righteousness, from darkness to light, from hate to love, so that both now and in the future you shall ever and increasingly know that you are absolutely forgiven by him, that you are positively accepted by him, and, that as bom again sons of God you will zealously serve the Lord in the furtherance of the Gospel of God both here at home and in all the world until Jesus comes back again. If we can serve you at any time, or if this church can serve you in any way, please give us this privilege. Remember, we love you always, and we are praying for you. Come to see us. Sincerely your friend. BRO. and MRS. C. S. CADWALLADER Come and we will worship together. I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the House of the Lord. Psalms: 122:1 We invite you to all our services. We will try to make you feel wel- come. Come to the Church where a Christian experience makes you a member. The church with a Bible name.
