Good morning, everyone! Thank you very much for your answers! I enjoyed reading them. Did anyone else notice the differences in responses varying by region? In my neck of the woods, the speaker would have probably said the following:
"First giving
Honor to God, who is the
head of my life, I'd like to say I'm glad to be in the
house of the Lord one mo' time. Cause he brought me from a
mighty long
way . I coulda been dead, sleeping in my
grave , but God is
good all the
time , and all the
time , God is
good . He's a
bridge over troubled waters. He's a mother to the
motherless , and a
father to the
fatherless , a doctor in a
sick room, and a
lawyer in the courtroom!
(smile) He's the
Lily of the valley, a bright and
shining star. He got up
early one
Sunday mon'ing, with all
power in his
hands.
Pray for me that I grow
stronger in the Lord."
Also, as you look in your church
bulletins, under the special
announcements please
keep in your prayer
requests Sista Buela-Mae Jenkins who will be having her
hip surgery this week. And while you give your tithes and
offerings we
humbly ask that you contribute to the church
building fund and we will be

anniversary so anybody please who serves on the
usher board please meet in the
santuary following
service .
And the women's auxiliary will be selling
chicken dinners for $7.00 a
plate along with the youth
choir who will be having their annual
bake sale to help fund their trip to the national youth ministry
conventionin Tennessee this summer. Parents please be
mindfulthat vacation
