Hymn of Thanksgiving and Praise
The Doxology
From all that dwell below the skies
Let the creator's praise arise!
Let the redeemer's name be sung
Through every land by every tongue.
Eternal are they mercies, Lord,
And truth eternal is thy word:
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above you heavenly host:
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen
GOD INCIDENT
BY: RICK KRINER
Dear All Saints Family,
I was asked to write a few words about God's influence in my life.
I feel I should begin back in the late '60s and early '70s. At that time I was enjoying a lifestyle consisting of hanging out with friends, playing in rock bands, and cruising around Lehighton.
There was one building in town that always caught my eye - it was a stone church with the rectory next to it. It reminded me of a Swiss chalet; I could almost picture it in the Alps. Whenever I passed by, I admired it.
Fast forward to January, 1995. I met my future wife, Kathy Taylor, and she invited me to attend church with her. Low and behold, she belonged to the church I had admired all those years ago. Coincidence? I tend not to think not. I know God guided me to All Saints. I have found strength and hope here.
I'm not sure of all the reasons God drew me to All Saints all those years ago, but my wife and I are thankful that He did.
Bless you all,
Rick Kriner
