And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.How else can you help?If you and/or your organization are looking for volunteer opportunities or a place to donate goods and services, please consider Christ Central Columbia.Contact Info:Pastor Sylvia Mickens 803-237-2547Love is kindled in a ame, and ardency is its life.

True prayer must be a ame.-E M Bounds24 CityLight.orgfebruary 2018
