“The Groves Were God’s First Temples”
- William Cullen Bryant
The Jacksons Grove Story is the story of a church. But, it must necessarily also be the history of a family. A dedicated Christian family whose heritage is preserved and continued for those of us who come after.
It, therefore, behooves we who carry on, to do so with the same dedication and honor as our predecessors.
It is also the story of a community which has flourished at times and languished at times, over a period of about two centuries.
The following prayer has been used at Jackson’s Grove at different times through the years.
Lord, thank Thee for all the bountiful blessings we enjoy from day to day.
Keep us humble, realizing that we are as little children and Know not what our real needs may be. We pray that you would guide us and help us to become wiser and closer to Thee.
Bless Jacksons Grove and all those who work for thy Glory, we pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
