Our thoughts and humble prayers
 go out to all the victims and their next of kin
in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida 
and to all those who have opened their homes to these refugees.

Our prayers are with you.

God Bless All

Make Me Brave For Life

Make Me Brave for Life

God, make me brave for life: 
oh, braver than this.
Let me straighten after pain, 
as a tree straightens after the rain,
Shining and lovely again.

God, make me brave for this life:
much braver than this.
As the blown grass lifts, let me rise 
From sorrow with quiet eyes,
Knowing that Thy Way is wise.

God, make me brave; life brings
Such blinding things.
Help me to keep my sight,
Help me to see aright
That out of the darkness comes the light.
