Words to Live By
There are two words
Every man should say
At least once
Every day
For all that life
Brings his way
When at night
He kneels to pray
There are three words
Every man should hear
Whispered softly
In his ear
To wash away
His doubt and fear
And let him know
He is held dear
There is one word
That should not exist
That every human
Should resist
When you feel its call
Unclench your fist
And let it dissipate
Like mist
If you know these words
Of which I speak
There is no more truth
For you to seek
Say
This was a long time coming — the BFC Council held its recent April 2022 meeting IN PERSON at the White House (!!!). It was a wonderful change to see everyone face-to-face and have dinner and sharing together, in addition to our meeting. Pastor Justin cooked our entree – some fabulous tacos! And everyone else brought all sorts of great side dishes.
Service will be held at Belvedere this Sunday at 10am.
Our Member Care Team now offers an online form for submitting prayer requests.
The form and more information can be found at belvederefamily.com/prayer.
