This I believe... whenever I see the sunrise and its beauty... God is beauty.















Coming this Sunday, April 19, 2015
the confirmation students 
of Elizabethtown Presbyterian Church 
will declare their faith in Jesus Christ publically during worship, 
thus becoming members of Christ's church.

What follows is excerpted from a statement of faith 
written by one of the confirmation students.  

May we be inspired 
by their faith. 
This I believe...

(These words were shared as best as I remember
as she described her faith statement as a drawing.)

Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
That verse reminds me that
we are all made by God.
God created everything.

I drew a sunrise
because whenever I see the sunrise
and its beauty
I think of the Holy Spirit--
God is beauty.

Matthew 10:32-33
"Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people, 
I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. 
But everyone who denies me before people, 
I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."That's the verse I try to live by every day
living out my faith before others.
