IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE...

...to stop and say a few words to the newcomer, that you have passing by, with a quick "hello".

...to draw a person who is obviously feeling like an outsider into a chattering group.

...to make an introduction, that may not be necessary, but that will demonstrate friendliness.

...to write a note to a person who is ill, or who has lost a member of the family.

...to really listen to what a child is earnestly telling you.

...to take the trouble to pass along the good things that you know about others.

...to build up a person who is feeling low, or seems to be worried or discouraged.

(The Bulletin Digest

Answer to last week's question: The immoral Samaritan woman had been married five times (John 4:17-18).
This week's question: In what land was Moses when he saw a burning bush which was not consumed?
Answer next week.

        We informed you in the December 10 bulletin (Bulletin #36) that Carolyn Turk's brother, John, was in University of Mississippi hospital to undergo surgery on his jaw. It was feared at that time that he might be unable to speak following the surgery.
        The surgery has been performed and John is back at home. He is able to speak and Carolyn has spoken to him at least once. He is scheduled for chemo and radiation treatments.
        That family needs our prayers as much as ever. Let's pray for them.

Crystal Reed came forward Sunday morning to confess that she has made some mistakes in her life recently, and asked for our prayers that she will have strength to overcome those temptations that are sure to befall her each day.

Although he was not hospitalized, we have learned that Mike Turk had a bout with pneumonia recently.

A hug is a great gift...one size fits all, it can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange!

YOU ARE WANTED IN BIBLE CLASS

At Ninth and Main, we have Bible classes each Sunday morning at 9:30 A.M and Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M. We Want You!!

Bible study is very important. Hosea said, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). We are commanded to "grow in knowledge" (II Peter 3:15). Paul said, "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

We are told to build up our faith in Jude 20. The way we do this is to study God's word. Psalms 119:11 says, "Thy word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against thee." God's word directs our way (Psalms 119:105). We are to live "by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

Since we will be judged by the word of God (John 12:48), let us study it diligently!

We hope to see your smiling face in Bible School! You will be blessed by doing so.

In Christian Love,
John Hobbs
