God often uses a surrendered servant to deliver a deliverer who then restores others from fear to faith. Which one of these are you? Which one is God calling you to be? This study cultivates our hearts to find these answers and more of God through the process.

His internship and residency were performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. During his internship he and two classmates spent a summer with Dr. John Olds at the Notre Dame Ray Memorial Hospital, Twillingate, Newfoundland.

He also introduced Chest Physiotherapy to the hospital. He had a common sense approach to clinical problem solving and demanded scientific verification. The care of his patients always had first consideration.

From Fear to Faith Janelle Templeton



In 1933, she married Arthur L. Lacey, also from Perry. Together as Pastor & wife, they served churches in York, Massena, Buffalo, East Rochester and Ilion, New York. She taught Sunday school for many years in those churches. She also taught as a substitute teacher in public school systems and as an in-home tutor for handicapped children. Perhaps her favorite role was as a caring rol. model for her children and grandchildren. Her family adored her for her strength, faith, and guidance.


Me too!! I want more! I want to see more of the Holy Spirit in my church. I go to a large church and the Holy Spirit is never talked about from the pulpit. I am one of a group who are praying for the Holy Spirit to show up boldly. To see lives changed. I want Holy Spirit fire! However, it is with a prayer for discernment that I seek out other followers for fear of the enemy masquerading as holy fire. It leaves me paralyzed to seek more from another church. So what am i to do? I am hungry for more of Jesus. I cannot get enough of His Word, I pray and read my bible.


Take it from one who has suffered this fear for years: Carol Lynn does not exploit our fear. She does us the courtesy of taking us seriously, which quite frankly no male in this church has ever done. You simply cannot wave away this question as if it is not based in logical thought. Angela has already mentioned the temple and the words of part prophets that give this fear a solid foundation. These issues deserve critical engagement, not offhand dismissal.
