God Bless America
"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home."
by Irving Berlin

Pastor's Page
 The
noted biblical scholar James Sanders once drew a very
interesting distinction between Judaism and Christianity. He
suggested that at some point Judaism took the ethos aspect
of faith, while Christianity took the mythos. In other
words, where Judaism began to understand itself as a way of
life, a practice, Christianity began to understand itself as
a story, a theology.
