WEEKLY STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT:Mark 10:6 - "But from the beginning of creation ..." In recent years, our country, along with most all the (formerly) Christian nations of Europe, has lost its way when it comes to marriage. We have ignored the fact that it is God who created us. We always go off the tracks when we forget that He made us and that everything good in this world comes from His hand. In big things and in small things, in the life of a nation or the life of an individual, things go dreadfully wrong when we ignore the Creator's instructions for life.

It is inspired by American folk song, bluegrass,
gospel, hymn and
traditional musical styles. The cantata takes the
