Free Gift – Music of Celebration and Praise

…the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” from Romans 6:23 (New Living Translation).

Did you know that God’s love for you is so deep that He gave His own Son, so that you can live together with Him forever? Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross offers us the opportunity to receive forgiveness for all of the ways we have rejected God, no matter how many or how serious our sins may be. This is the ‘free give” we are singing about. It is our offering of gratitude to God, and our gift to you – – no strings attached, no assembly required.

If you would like to know more about the exciting plan God has for you, please feel free to give us a call or send us an e-mail. We hope and pray that you will shar in the joy we know, because of the marvelous and amazing grace of our Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ.
