1996 Promotion

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what was planted, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build up, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to cast away stones and a time to gather them together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

What time is it?

· Today, for us, its time to celebrate! · God is at work in our congregation!· God has called wise teachers and leaders to make our Faith come alive for our children.· Today, as we celebrate this milestone with our children, we affirm that God is present and God is at work in the lives of our children.· May these Bibles help you to make sense of the world in which you live.· May these Bibles also help you to follow Jesus in your daily lives.
