Refrain:
I am on the battlefield for my Lord,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord;
And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die.
I am on the battlefield for my Lord.

1.  I was alone and idle,
I was a sinner too,
I heard a voice from heaven
Say there is work to do,
I took the Master's hand,
And I joined the Christian band,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]

2.  I left my friends and kindred
Bound for the Promised Land,
The grace of God upon me,
The Bible in my hand,
In distant lands I trod,
Crying, sinner, come to God,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]

3.  Now when I met my Savior,
I met Him with a smile,
He healed my wounded spirit,
And owned me as His child,
Around the throne of grace,
He appoints my soul a place,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]

FAITHFUL GIVING
We want to say thank you for your giving and partnership.  YOUR GIVING MATTERS! Your faithful giving allows us to increasingly do the work of ministry for our members AND to everyone the Lord sends to us and sends us to.  
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7 ESV
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  
Malachi 3:10 ESV
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
 You may give HERE.

YOUNG ADULT BIBLE STUDY - 
Abundance: Living Responsibly With God's Gifts will guide us into the biblical understanding of abundant life and help us sort out many of the faithful and practical issues that come together in a life of abundance.  Seven chapters offer Bible verses and discussion questions about "a life of joy," "material abundance," "over-indulgence," "Living simply," "money," "ways in which we are handled by our stuff," and "ethics." We'll wrestle with our personal finances, seeking always to discern the will of God.

Fortunately, if we will only have ears to hear, we are blessed with an abundance of biblical guidance. For Jesus really did have a preoccupation with wealth, speaking of money five times as often as prayer. Of course, his interest in wealth was not in its pursuit, but in the danger it can pose to Christian discipleship.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE CLASS
Adults of all ages are invited to join us in person for a study titled, The End is Just the Beginning: A Study in the book of Revelation. Come ready to study, discuss, and grow in your understanding of this powerful book of the Bible. Class meets in Room 207 of the Carrington Building and started Wednesday, April 9th. To join the class: CLICK HERE

About Side by Side Couples Ministry
The Couple's Ministry is established for married couples to strengthen their relationship by offering a forum to gain knowledge and enlightened perspectives about God’s expectations regarding marriage and marital roles, as well as promote bonds and establish support groups within the ministry. These objectives are met through ongoing workshops where couples can learn about communication, submission, love, conflict resolution, family finance, etc. Shared experiences in a confidential manner help couples avoid potential marital pitfalls.  Our regular monthly virtual meetings are on the 2nd Friday of each month.

GriefShare provides a safe place to talk about hard things-and heal from them.
