Thursday evening at 7:30 we will look at the selection of the chairman of the translation board and his construction of the six committees' worth of academics and clergy who translated, book by book and word by word, the King James Version of the Holy Bible.  All this plus what it has to do with that slim volume that we use on Sunday mornings.

If there is righteousness in the heart,
there will be beauty in the character.
If there is beauty in the character,
there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.
So let it be.

Celtic Prayer Of The Week [Back By Popular Demand]

Christ, as a light

illumine and guide me.

Christ, as a shield

overshadow me.

Christ under me;

Christ over me;

Christ beside me

on my left and my right.

This day be within and without me.

lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;

in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.

This day be within and without me,

lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.

Christ as a light;

Christ as a shield;

Christ beside me

on my left and my right.
