First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them; if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; If service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching; he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12: 6-8
