Hymn of Invitation -#536 “Have Faith in God”
Verse 1
Have faith in God
When your pathway is lonely
He sees and knows all
The way you have trod
Never alone
Are the least of His children
Have faith in God
Have faith in God
Chorus
Have faith in God
He's on His throne
Have faith in God
He watches o'er His own
He cannot fail He must prevail
Have faith in God
Have faith in God
Verse 2
Have faith in God
When your pray'rs are unanswered
Your earnest plea
He will never forget
Wait on the Lord
Trust His word and be patient
Have faith in God
He'll answer yet
Verse 3
Have faith in God
In your pain and your sorrow
His heart is touched
With your grief and despair
Cast all your cares
And your burdens upon Him
And leave them there
Oh leave them there
Verse 4
Have faith in God
Tho' all else fail about you
Have faith in God
He provides for His own
He cannot fail tho'
All kingdoms shall perish
He rules He reigns
Upon His throne

Benediction
September Benevolence - Pemberton Christian Caring Center
The Center serves as the Salvation Army Service Unit for Pemberton Township. Through this remarkable ministry, many area churches provide crucial support to meet needs for which there is no grant funding. This enables us to bridge a complicated gap between church and state. Salvation Army funds are particularly important for assisting with rapid rehousing. Family reunification is a cornerstone of this effort, so we use these funds to help clients travel home. These funds also help clients in crisis with needed medical care, including medications, eyeglasses and small medical equipment.
Recovery, Sobriety and Job Training
Christian Caring Center operates a four-bed men’s shelter in Pemberton dedicated to helping men in recovery from substance abuse issues. Staffed with an on-site manager, the shelter follows a structured program to provide accountability and Christian discipleship. Through the shelter and their other outreaches to people striving for a life of sobriety, they provide avenues for work experience and job training in retail, food service, maintenance, janitorial and office administration skills.
