THANKSGIVING FOR RELEASE
"Realize that within you lies a hidden, secret super-atomic power the power of God, there for your sole benefit - then you will find
that you can get immediate relief from your ills. "Believe," says the
Master. Get the consciousness of His daily, hourly, presence with you;
lay your burdens on Him, and your fears and your ills will be dissipa·
ted like a mist in the sun.
Katie Ellen Loretta (Allis) Foltz
November 23, 1908 to June 25, 1972
PART I -Celebration through Fellowship in the Church Parlor
Radiate the happiness you really want in life. Try to bring happy
smiles to others. Get the confidente that God is still in charge of this
wonderful world and realize that within you, awaiting your command,
lies a Power which is super-atomic in its force. Believe this, every hour
of the day, and watch the marvelous change that will take place in your
life.
The atomic energy stored in the cells of your body is sufficient if released
to destroy the city of New York, yet you cannot see or feel this energy.
You cannot see God by your physical eyes, but you can demonstrate
his presence when you will learn first of all to live according to His
laws, and then to believe that a stronger power than atomic energy can
and will work for you and bring you to a happy way of living."
-Albert E. Oiffe
(Copied by Katie from Lepons in &lccepful LiVing)

Lift their fronded palms in air,

Beyond His love and care.

McGranahan
(Written by Kathleen and Gene {Katie and Carfon)
during the last thirteen months.)
Bless thou the truth, dear lord, To me, to me,
As thou didst bless the bread, By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, All fetters fall;
And I shall fmd my peace, My all in all.
TIME FOR PRAISING, PRAYING, SHARING
God makes us channels of healing,
To those we hear in the way;
Thro' us his power keeps flowing,
As Spirit's leading's obeyed.
Lowry
HYMN - "All the Way My Savior Leads Me"
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread,
Though my weary ste~ may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! a spring of joy I see. (repeat last two lines)
Refrain: Healing vibrations,
Healing vibrations make whole,
God's power in and around us;
Aiding God working, our goal.
TIME FOR PRAISING, PRAYING, SHARING

Be not dismayed what-e'er betide,
God will take care of you;
~eneath his wing; oflove abide,
God will take care of you.

Thro' every day, o'er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
No matter what may be the test. : .

When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.

With deeds oflove and mercy The heavenly kingdom comes.
