American Baptist Women Sunday

CHARLESTON BAPTIST TEMPLE Morning Worship Service American Baptist Women Sunday 16 October 2022 The flame which shines bright from our altar candle serves as a constant reminder to us of God’s abiding presence in our lives and our worship today. We Open Our Hearts to God’s Presence We request that you please observe a time of silence during the prelude in preparation for worship. Let each worshiper ask God’s blessings on the service, on his/her self and on all who seek to worship God in spirit and in truth. Prelude God Leads Us Along S.
