 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh

Prayer: Pastor Baggett

Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7 - Be glad in the Lord all times: again, I say, Be glad.  Let your gentle behavior be clear to all men. The Lord is near.  Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.  And the peace of Go, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
