We bring you greetings from the Elect Temple Church of God in Christ
Music Department. We are a closely knitted group of people who are devoted
to our faith in God, loyal to our choir and church family, and committed
to our fellowship in Christ Jesus. We believe that we “Can do
all things through Jesus Christ” as He strengthens us. We believe
that you are never too old or young to be a part of the music ministry.
Our endeavor is to reach the masses as we “Lift up Jesus”
in song. For He said: “If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto
me.” We recognize that the sound of music can soothe your soul,
lift up the bowed heads, and console those who are broken in spirit.
It is our prayer that you too have heard the “Joyful Sound”
and know, in your heart that, “Jesus Saves!” Let us hear
from you. Keep a song in your heart and you will always have joy.
Yours in Christ,
Sis. Deborah J. Thrower
Minister of Music
“Are You Willing To Pay the Cost?”
Holy Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today
we celebrate the hope of eternal life through the sacrifices of God,
the Father and God, the Son: For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn
the world; but that the world through him might be saved. St. John 3:16-17
Here at Elect Temple, the 5th Sunday of each quarter is Youth Sunday.
From our nursery to children’s church, we believe the work of
youth ministry to be the seed through which God’s increase shall
prevail. We have been blessed with a group of talented young people
and our endeavor is to train them up in the way they should go so that
when they are old they will not depart from the way of Holiness. Holiness
walks, talks, looks, and acts different. It is important to know that
it is alright to stand out in a crowd. When we accept Jesus into our
lives we can be confident in knowing that we can do all things through
Him who strengthens us. God bless you all and pray for us.
Yours in Christ,
Missionary A. Barnes
