God Has All the Answers? God Created Me for a Purpose? My name is Sharon Lewis, and this is my story. I attended church as a young child while growing up in Harlem, New York.

Grace Did Much More Abound!
-Garry Castner
On October 4, 1996, the Lord did something special in my life to bring about a true change in me. This change is so radical that I will never be the same. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how God brought this about in my life.
There Had to Be Answers

My name is Jack Hammond, and this is my story. I was born in Allentown in 1967, and I grew up in a fairly religious home, though we didn’t attend church on a regular basis. Many times my grandmother, who was very faithful to go, took my sister and me as much as she could. I can remember when my mom and stepdad finally made the decision to go regularly. That lasted for a few years, but tapered off when the pastor, who my parents really liked, moved on.

I was born February 9, 1934, to parents of two different faiths. My father was an alcoholic and not a church-goer.

She thought it would be better if we chose our own religion when we were old enough to make that choice.

As a child I grew up in the projects (low income housing). I went to Sunday School sometimes, but never really understood what was being taught to me. I knew there was a God, but that is as far as it went with me.
I Didn’t Know Where I Stood with God

-Ed Reiss
As far back in my life as I can remember, I always went to a United Church of Christ every Sunday. As a young child, I had some bizarre ideas about God and my relationship with Him. As I got older, the ideas didn’t change much. Although I attended both Sunday school and church, and was confirmed as a teenager, I never learned the teachings of the Bible, nor did I have the desire to learn them.
