" What Is Precious to You?"

Welcome to the Morning Worship at College Heights Baptist on the fifteenth of September, 2024 service begins at 10:30 AM Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. The Lord gives his people strength.
