Rev. Jeff Crispin brought the message to the Camp Meeting service on 8\/18\/19, and his family helped bring the music.\u00a0 But God’s gift of grace through His Son over-arched and under-girded all of the preaching and musical talents this human family.\u00a0 The music and the sermon took us to a story of Jesus’ beauty: an amazing story of how God removed the barrier of sin and how He longs to be in fellowship with all of us.\u00a0 As the ukulele trio sang, “My Worth is not in what I own,”\u00a0 our purpose for life is not in what we do, but in the God who created us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Music<\/span><\/h3>\n

Jeff’s wife, Carol, led the hymn sing with her keyboard.\u00a0 We always open with “In the Garden” (written by C. Austin Miles, a Pitman resident), and then we sing favorites requested by the congregation.<\/p>\n

After the hymsing, a ukulele trio from Jeff’s church\u00a0 (Joy Community Fellowship)<\/a> drew us into the message with their music and tight harmonies.\u00a0 They introduced the sermon with the song, “My Worth is Not in What I\u00a0Own<\/a><\/span>.”<\/p>\n\n\t\t

<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t
\n\t\t\tI will not boast in wealth or might, Or human wisdom\u2019s fleeting light.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But I will boast in knowing Christ at the cross.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My worth is not in skill or name, In win or lose, in pride or shame.\u00a0 But in the blood of Christ that flowed.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I rejoice in my Redeemer.\u00a0 Greatest Treasure, Wellspring of my soul. I will trust in Him, no other. My soul is satisfied in Him alone.<\/span><\/em>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n
