Kaitlyn Merriman, a 2012 graduate of Allen High School, is a member of the Connors State College Livestock Judging Team in Warner, Oklahoma.

Kaitlyn Merriman of Allen is serving as a member of the Connors State College Live-stock Judging Team in Warner, Oklahoma. Merriman is a sophomore at CSC and pursu-ing an Associates of Science degree in Agriculture with an emphasis in Agriculture Com-munications. Merriman is also a member of the CSC Aggie Club. She plans to transfer to Texas A&M or Texas Tech upon graduation. Kaitlyn is the daughter of Bruce and Lori Merriman.

Livestock Judging Team members evaluate both breed-ing and market animals for beef cattle, sheep, goats, swine and horses, to determine their value relative to current in-dustry trends. After placing the class the students will then defend their placing by presenting oral reasons to an offi cial judge. The participa-tion in livestock judging will enhance the student’s critical thinking and decision making skills while also developing public speaking ability. Con-nors State has a rich tradition in livestock judging by con-sistently being one of the top programs in the United States for the last thirty years.

CSC’s Livestock Judging Team travels all over the state of Oklahoma and throughout the Midwest to practice and compete. They visit ranches, university farms, regional and national fairs, and livestock shows. Through their travels

team members will get to meet and workout with many of today’s elite animal opera-tions and meet some of the top producers in the nation. In the coming weeks, the team will travel to the Flint Hills Classic in Kansas, Tulsa State Fair, the State Fair of Texas, the American Royal in Kansas City and the North American International Livestock Expo-sition in Louisville, Kentucky. In the spring semester the team will compete at the National Western in Denver, Colorado,

San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo, Fort Worth Rodeo and Livestock Show, and at the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. The Connors State Col-lege Livestock Judging Team coach is Blake Nelson. As-sistant livestock judging team coach is Chase Reed.

Connors State College is a two-year agriculture college located in east central Okla-homa. For more information visit the CSC website con-norsstate.edu.

Ida Lewenstein shared the feelings of many of us “old tim-ers” when she wrote the following . . .

Those More Innocent DaysRemember Rip Van Winkle,

That amiable chapWho woke up one day

After a 20-year napAnd found himself trapped

In a cultural gap?

He was often surprisedAnd also distressed

By the way people actedAnd the way people dressed.

Well, sometimes I feelThe same as he.

I look in wondermentAt the strange things I see.

I walk down the streetAnd what do you suppose?

There’s a girl walking toward meWith a ring in her nose.

There’s a boy with blue hairWearing pants that hang low.

I ask, “Is this for realOr just for show?”

I see a kid in a carWith the music blaring.

He’s bobbing and weaving,Not looking, not caring.

It is then I look backOn those more innocent days,

When dirty saddle shoesWere all the craze.

Girls in loose-fi tting sweatersAnd colorful plaid skirts,

Boys sporting well-fi lling cordsAnd checkered shirts.

No one I knewWore a ring in her nose.No one would be seen

With his bottom exposed.

Rarely did one driveWith the music blaring.

To be sure, we had our funBut we weren’t that daring!

If you still doubtThere’s a cultural gap,

Compare our musicTo their stupid rap!

—CC—And speaking of changes, most of us senior church members

remember when the church battle over Bibles began. It was the King James Version (God’s Bible) and the NIV.

Later the battle switched to music. Contemporary music tried to unseat Southern Gospel music and old time hymns (God’s music).

Now the battle has switched to seats. We “pew” people are being attacked by the “chair brigade.”

At fi rst, it just didn’t sit well with Nancy Shane when her church decided to switch from pews to chairs.

“My generation grew up in pews,” the grandmother of three says. She worried the sanctuary of the Windham First Church of the Nazarene would resemble a movie theater.

Yet, when the pews were removed in September and replaced with burgundy-cushioned chairs, she says she decided God didn’t care whether she prayed from a pew, a chair or even the fl oor.

“I walked in Wednesday night for a prayer meeting and the chairs were there, and they were beautiful,” she says. “I thought, ‘Nancy Shane, even at 68 years old, young woman, you can change.’ “

She isn’t the only churchgoer being asked to take a stand on new Sunday seating arrangements. Pews have been part of the Western world’s religious landscape for centuries, but now a growing number of churches in the U.S. and U.K. are opting for chairs, sometimes chairs equipped with kneelers.

At bottom: churches want to trim remodeling costs, maximize space fl exibility with stackable seating, or create a more ap-proachable atmosphere to draw in unchurched young people.

“Lots of people shy away from a formal church setting. It makes them very nervous,” says the Rev. Samuel LaCombe, of the Windham church, who is planning to move the new chairs aside to use the sanctuary for community suppers. “Now, what’s so scary about beans and hot dogs and yeast rolls? Not much.”

The dispute is the latest stick-ing point between traditional-ists and those who believe old-guard churches have to

modernize to broaden their ap-peal. Church Executive Maga-zine last year called it “Chairs vs. Pews.” A blog on Religious

Product News dubbed it “the great pew debate.”

“I’ve had a couple of cas-es where it got ugly,” says

Paul Lodholz, a principal with Ziegler Cooper Architects, a Houston church-design com-pany.

In the Church of England, rows have erupted over deci-sions to remove pews, forcing churches to delay remodeling plans for months while pro-tests wind through diocesan courts.

In fo rma l j udgmen t s , the courts largely uphold modernization plans, with the condition that chairs are of high quality. A September 2012 ruling criticized a church in the Diocese of Chichester for chairs that were “ghastly in their red upholstered inappropriateness.”

I n t h e E n g l i s h t o w n of Epworth, Winifred and Harold Woolgar fi led offi cial objections over a switch in May from pews to chairs at St. Andrew’s Parish Church. Mr. Woolgar dubbed the plan an “unnecessary act of official vandalism.”

Having lost the battle, Ms. Woolgar, who is 73, says she is still missing the pews. “I feel it’s lost a little of the atmosphere of a religious building,” she says.

Church treasurer Penny Birks disagrees, saying the new chairs are of “quality oak,” and that with flexible seating, the church has already been able to hold community events, including a recent bridal exhibition.

Sauder Manufacturing Co., an Ohio concern that is a top U.S. provider of church seating, said pews still dominate in more liturgical denominations, such as Roman Catholicism.

But overall, the share of

pew sales is declining, while cushioned metal chairs , complete with hymnal racks, are now an estimated 35% of the market, says marketing director Rick Mueller. A decade ago, these chairs were minor players, he says.

Eager to use its chapel for events other than Sunday, the First Lutheran Church in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is weighing a move to chairs. The Rev. Michael Rehak placed two styles of chairs in the lobby for worshipers to review.

“The smaller, straight-backed ones were uncomfortable for us taller folk,” wrote churchgoer Arne Peterson, 81 years old, who test-sat the sample seats with his wife, Phoebe. She wasn’t keen on either version.

“I don’t think I would want to give up a pew for them,” she says.

Some parishioners have deep-seated attachments to pews, as the Rev. Aaron Rayburn of Edwards Road Baptist Church in Greenville, S.C., recently learned when he proposed a switch to keep costs lower during a remodeling. His 600 or more churchgoers have rejoiced and wept, and “it all happened in a pew.”

Mindful of the sensitivity over seating, he will bring the matter to a church vote this month.

“I don’t want to go in like a dictator and say, ‘We’re having chairs,’ “ he says.

In the countryside northwest of Portland, Maine, the white steepled Windham First Church of the Nazarene is embracing a more inviting atmosphere, says Pastor LaCombe. The choir is now the “praise team.”

Lyrics projected on the walls allow churchgoers to wave their hands rather than clutch a hymnal.

Weekly attendance has risen to 125 people in recent years but is still short of a peak of 198 in 1992, he says.

Indeed, in a study released last year by the Pew Research Center, fewer than half of Americans said they were Protestant, a record low percentage. Meanwhile, the study said a third of adults under 30 were unaffi liated with any one particular religion, although many said they were religious or spiritual.

Windham First Church’s board prayed for two years over whether to go to fl exible chairs to allow for more uses of the sanctuary. “There were some tears,” says board member Laura Gurney, 47.

But ultimately, many in the church got excited over the chairs. A ballot box was put out, and the congregation voted between fi ve fabric swatches, choosing a reddish hue that gives the sunny sanctuary a patriotic feel.

“Aren’t they awesome? God has allowed us to sit in these big soft comfortable chairs,” Pastor LaCombe said from the pulpit on Sept. 22, the fi rst Sunday with the new chairs, prompting cries of “Amen!”

Older churchgoer Jim Asher frowned as he surveyed the sanctuary. “It doesn’t look right,” he said. “I grew up in a church that had pews, and I think that’s what belongs in a church.”

I agree with Jim Asher!—CC—

There will always be dis-agreements in church. I es-pecially enjoyed the story about two church members who were beginning to argue over how high to stack the chairs in the fellowship hall. Finally, one said, “Okay, look, here we are, arguing while we are serving the Lord. Let’s do this. You work on that side of the room, doing it your way, and I will continue on this side of the room, doing it God’s way.”

The Allen High School Mus-tangs of the Month for October, Britten Wallace and Salva-dor Martinez, were honored Wednesday. Chamber mem-ber sponsor this month was Farmers State Bank and the presentation was made by bank president Debbie Rinehart.

The students were presented a plaque from the Chamber and receive a cash award in “Al-len Bucks” from the monthly sponsor. The money may be spent at Allen businesses that are members of the Chamber.

In addition to their photos and bio in The Advocate, their picture will also be on display at the Farmers State Bank.

Britten, a senior, is the daugh-ter of Stan and Lisa Wallace. Her favorite subject is Ag because, she says, I love com-peting in contests and showing livestock.

Britten has maintained a 4.0 gpa since Pre-K. She serves as FFA president, is a StuCo and

BPA offi cer, and has qualifi ed for Nationals in rodeo. Her hobbies are rodeo, showing goats, and hanging out with friends.

She states her future plans are either becoming an occu-pational therapist or something in the agricultural fi eld.

The nominating teacher said of Britten, “I am recommend-ing this student because she is helpful. She is involved in sev-eral activities in school and out of school. She is involved in FFA, BPA, StuCo and several other organizations. Out of school she is active in church, helping with 4-H, and very ac-tive with community service. I highly recommend this stu-dent.”

Salvador is the son of Susana Martinez, and is a sophomore at Allen High. His favorite subject is Science because, he says, science helps us better understand the world around us and helps us along the way.

His achievements include being a member of a state championship FFA team. His interests and hobbies include reading, learning about the world, and listening to a vari-ety of different music.

Salvador’s career choice is to attend OU and get a Masters degree in engineering.

In recommending Salvador, his teacher said: “I am nomi-nating Salvador Martinez for Mustang student of the month. He is always prepared for class and makes A’s in all of his classes. He is very involved with FFA and when he is going to miss class he asks for assign-ments before the event. He is always respectful to teachers and peers. He is responsible for getting his sibling ready for school in the morning and he makes sure they both are here every day. He is an offi cer for FFA, shows an animal, and is involved with the landscape and nursery program.”

(Picture information: This picture was given to me after I wrote the column on Baseball History last week. Babe Ruth and Lou Gerrig are pictured in these uniforms while attending a baseball training camp in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1927-Cleo LeVally)

I have heard the saying re-cently that Nothing Happens Without a Reason. The day

that my last weeks column came out, a cousin came for a visit and brought me a picture of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, who were the greatest pair of sluggers to play together in the history of baseball. The pair are pictured in their Bustin’ Babes and Larrupin’ Lou’s baseball suits that they

wore on a barn storming tour in 1927. Together they helped found the first Yankee Dy-nasty. They posed together for this picture while attending a Yankee Training Camp in St. Petersburg, Florida

Pictures of the two when they were filmed together, show both smiling, as if they were good friends and the relationship was good, how-ever, shortly after this picture was made, animosity began. They pulled apart. Their sharp difference of personality and character soured their rela-tionship. Sports writers of the day emphasized that Geh-rig seemed content to live in Ruth’s substantial shadow. But

as time went on, one could not be certain that Lou willingly accepted his role as second banana. With each act of hell-raising and carousing, Ruth won laughs and widespread tolerance, while Gehrig, re-ceived only condescending applause for his commitment to duty.

Much stage managing al-ways accompanied Ruth’s yearly contract signing. Few, however, paid much attention as Gehrig quietly signed on with the Yankees. Gehrig in-creasingly objected to Ruth’s public declamations against Yankee Manager Joe McCa-rthy, a man Lou Gehrig almost revered as a second father. To

Gehrig such loose talk was just not permissible.

The last straw came when Ruth spoke disparagingly of Gehrig’s cherished consecu-tive game streak. He said he regarded it as little more than a boring statistic. Ruth said Gehrig ought to learn to sit on the bench and rest. That no one was going to pay him for how many game he played in a row.

Then the wives fell out. Dor-othy, the 12 year old daughter of Ruth’s wife went to visit Lou’s mother in the early 30’s dressed as a shabby tomboy. The wives fell out and the rift never resolved itself.

Lou Gehrig died on June 2, 1941, just 17 days before his 38th birthday. He had already won his place among base-ball’s demigods.

There is a story about a 17 year old girl, Jackie Mitchell, who pitched against the Yan-kees on April 2, 1932. That the first batter she faced was Ruth and she struck him out. He was followed by Gehrig and she struck him out. This may have been a publicity stunt or just a story out at the time.

I myself was quite a baseball fan during the years of Ruth and Gehrig. In my hometown the brother of a fellow high school student was signed by one of the big league teams. It has been a while but I think his name was Harry Bracheen [Brecheen]. Then also during that time I filmed a wedding where a big league player was the Best Man. Also when Lou Gehrig was ill, he was much in the newspapers and I followed those stories.

Pam Arthur of Holdenville passed away Friday October 18, 2013 in Oklahoma city at the age of 54 years.

Pam was born March 20, 1959 in Holdenville,

Oklahoma to Charles and Martha ‘Jacobs’ Johnson. She graduated from Allen High School and later graduated with a bachelor of science degree in accounting from East Central University. Pam married Steve Arthur August 28, 1992.

Pam worked as an accountant for over 20 years and loved her work, c o w o r k e r s , and clients. She enjoyed s p e n d i n g time with her grandchildren, children, and family and friends. Pam loved boating, going to the lake and riding four wheelers. She was a selfless person who always put others needs before her own.

Pam is preceded in death by her father Charles Johnson.

She is survived by her husband and soul mate, Steve Arthur of the home; her mother Martha Johnson of Holdenville; her children, Brian and wife Jennifer Arthur of Norman, Brandy Robison and husband Laren of Holdenville, Cash Nickell of Holdenville, and Kevin Arthur and girlfriend Mary Sullins of

My haphazard articles of “One Pharmacists’ View” start-ed long ago when I inserted medical advice in my ads about medication problems. I some-times strayed off into editorial-izing about other concerns that struck my fancy. I got letters and emails. One advised me to stick with medicine and leave my other advice out. Another advised me to get more into politics since, in his opinion, my medical advice “sucked.”

More recently, in response to an article in which I related that my eye doctor up at the VA prescribed Johnson’s Baby Shampoo to be used to clean up my eye she described as full of crud, a reader wondered if it’s what the eye beheld or what might actually be in the eye. I was inundated with email (2) about this and am sad to report that one eye is now sore. So

you “I told you so” guys can be happy.

I often am corrected about the “facts” I write about. I try to get my facts at least 80% correct leaving me a little room (20%) for the parable. My story some time ago about my mom pulling out the choke on the family ’35 Ford one Christmastime in 1943 when gasoline was severely rationed set off a little talk—about the war and the rationing that went with it. So here we go on an-other tangent.

After the war started on December 7, 1941, it took a little while for America to re-alize what a pickle it was in—commodity wise. America had been a land of plenty. You could buy anything you had

the money for in those days and we thought of ourselves as exceptional. Suddenly, after the outbreak of war there was talk of rationing. German U-Boats roamed our shores at will sinking boats carrying cof-fee and other stuff from South America. Meanwhile the Japs had cut off our supply of rub-ber leaving us with only 8% of what we had to have.

A lot of people rushed out to Sears and bought themselves an extra set of tires—while they could. All car manufac-turing ceased and showrooms were soon empty. Buying pan-ics during Christmas resulted in rationing on gasoline, cof-fee, sugar, meat, butter and fat. Why fat? Well it was used in the manufacture of explosives.

Tires were simply unavail-able. Synthetic tires were not invented at this point. What tires there were went to the military—the same military that went around and seized what those tires hoarders had bought that Christmas.

Scrap-iron drives provided an unbelievable amount of iron and steel for the defense effort as well as making a lot of “Pop” money for kids who gathered it up for a penny a pound. Roosevelt set the national speed limit at 35 and while many didn’t pay much attention to it at fi rst, we all did when the tires wore out. A lot of people had to put their cars up on blocks (no spare parts) for the duration and they gave their gas stamps to their pas-tors to help out their church families with emergencies. I think it helped out with church attendance. Our old car’s tires had so many “boots” (crude

patches) in them riding so rough that we did well to make 35mph.

Ordinary folk got a wind-shield sticker with an “A” while more important folks sported a “B” sticker. The “A” would get you 4 gallons a week most of the time, a “B” was worth 8 gallons a week. The Coveted “C” was for doc-tors and other VIPs. Rationing ended in September of 1945 but it was about 1948 before you could walk into a car-dealer’s showroom and buy a new car in any color or shape you wanted. Food items such as sugar and coffee were soon plentiful as were the long miss-ing Snickers and Milky Way candy bars.

Be sure and go to Church this Sunday—God never rations His many blessings. And be thankful we live in a land of freedom and plenty.

After explaining that she had to be up at 5 AM for work during the week, she added, “Sunday is my day to sleep in!” Of course, she is not alone. Many people consider

Sunday to belong to them and so they can do the things they like. However, the Apostle John spoke of Sunday as the Lord’s Day. (Revelation 1:10) Should it not be used for the Lord?

The failure to recognize and submit to the Lord’s authority is man’s greatest failing. Isaiah wrote, “We have turned every-one, to his own way.” (53:6) We seem to be head-strong and self-centered creatures who want to do our own desires and pleasures rather than submit-ting to God. Even in worship, man has sought to do his own thing, worshipping God as he desires. Jesus upbraided even those who were God’s

chosen people saying, “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” (Matt 15:8-9)

Still today, there are those who argue that as long as we worship God, it doesn’t matter how we worship! However, according to Jesus, if we wor-ship God by our own likes and dislikes rather than as God has instructed, it is vain (or useless). How many of us profess with our mouth to be followers of Jesus Christ, yet we worship God only if we want to or when we desire and as we choose? How many of us profess to be Christians, but yet not only fail to obey Christ’s words, but we do not read, study or try to know what He has commanded? Do we really want to know God’s will or are we satisfi ed to remain in ignorance, living and serving God as we like? Are we like Israel who said to the prophets,“Do not prophesy to us right things; speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.”(Isaiah 30:10)

What has been missing from our community since 2007? The Allen Com-munity Calendar, that’s what!

Mustangs continue to im-prove playoff chances

Allen football squad can take another step during Homecom-ing contest

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs have an excellent chance of advancing to the playoffs in 2013. Coach Kenny Deaton’s team needs to win two of the fi nal three games in the regular season.

The path to post-season play includes remaining action with Macomb, Paoli and Fox. Allen will host the Macomb Hornets this Friday evening at Mustang Stadium.

Macomb is winless heading into Week 8. It will be crucial for Allen to step up and knock off the underdog Hornets.

Week 9 will present Allen with another winnable game. The Mustangs will travel to the Paoli Pugs. Paoli is 2-5 on the season and 2-4 in District B-2.

The Mustangs will to do everything they can to win the games over Macomb and Paoli. In doing so, Allen will almost certainly lock up fourth place in B-2’s fi nal standings.

Allen will wrap up the regu-lar season with a Week 10 showdown against the power-ful Fox Foxes. Fox is 6-1 over-all and 5-1 in the league. What Coach Deaton does not want is for the Mustangs to face Fox needing a win to get into the playoffs. If they can take care of business this week and next, the outcome of the Fox game should not be an issue.

Allen enters Week 8 with a record of 4-3 overall and 4-2 in B-2.

Last week, the Mustangs scored an important victory over the Cyril Pirates. The district road win set up the op-portunity for Allen to secure a playoff berth with just two more B-2 victories.

Allen and Cyril played to a scoreless tie in the fi rst quarter. The Mustangs then broke onto the scoreboard early in the second period. Dalton James crashed into the end zone on a 10-yard touchdown run at the 9:20 mark. When the conver-sion run failed, the Mustangs had to settle for a 6-0 lead.

Cyril tied the score at 5:57 on a 10-yard TD pass play. However, the Pirates were unsuccessful on a conversion pass play to leave the score in a 6-6 deadlock.

Halftime arrived without an addition scoring.

In the third quarter, Allen regained the advantage on Justin Deaton’s 3-yard run at 7:34. Deaton also scored the conversion run to extend the lead to 14-6.

Cyril answered about 6 min-utes later on a 13-yard touch-down run. But the Pirates misfi red again on a conversion try when the run was stopped short at 1:45. The result was a narrow 14-12 edge for the Mustangs.

Allen responded very quickly with another touchdown. Da-kota Nickell caught a 45-yard TD toss from Justin Deaton with only 3 seconds left in the third quarter. Dalton James added the conversion run to swell the lead to 22-12.

Cyril needed a fourth quarter rally to get back into the game. However, it was Allen that found offensive success in fi nal period. Dalton James ended an offensive drive with a 5-yard touchdown run. James put the ball in the end zone with 2:05 remaining. The conversion run failed, but James’ TD made it a 28-12 game and put the game on ice.

Cyril had no answer … and ended up on the short side of the 16-point loss.

Allen ended up with 11 fi rst downs and 255 yards of total offense. Cyril held a slight end in fi rst downs (with 12) but managed only 159 yards of total offense.

The Mustangs ran for 182 yards and passed for 73 more. The Pirates rushed for 106 yards and passed for 53 more.

Both teams fumbled twice and lost the ball once. Where Cyril held the biggest edge was in penalties. The Pirates had only 3 penalties for 25 yards. The visiting Mustangs were called for 8 penalties for 75 yards.

Allen owned the time of possession battle with 34:34 minutes to only 13:26 minutes for the Pirates.

Dalton James led Allen in rushing with 17 carries for 119 yards. Colten Browning followed with 7 carries for 43 yards. Justin Deaton rounded out the list with 9 carries for 26 yards. As a team, the Mustangs had 34 carries for 182 yards.

Justin Deaton fueled the pass-ing attack with a 7-of-14 effort. He threw for 73 yards and 1 touchdown. Dakota Nickell was the featured weapon in the

aerial game. Nickell caught 5 passes for 64 yards and 1 TD. Dalton James caught the other 2 passes for 9 yards.

Defensively, Colten Brown-ing was the force with a game-high 14 tackles. Dalton James was also in double digits with

10 stops. See the complete list below.

With the win, the stage has been set for Allen to earn a playoff spot. However, Ma-comb will come to town with the goal of the spoiler. It will be up to the Mustangs to execute

their game plan and move closer to securing the spot in the post-season.

It’s Homecoming this week. The fans could have even more to celebrate if the Mustangs are able to knock of Macomb.

Sunday was another beauti-ful fall day. With all the rain we have been getting the leaves are turning into a colorful dis-play. We are getting ready for our Fall Bazaar, which will be held Saturday, November 2nd, from 9-2 in the fellowship hall. You can get your pies, breads, candy, etc. for the Thanksgiv-ing holidays.

During our church service Sunday, the Atwood Group

sang “There’s Still Power in the Old Rugged Cross.” A great song with a wonderful message. Bro. Larry’s sermon was entitled “The Righteous Will Live By Faith.” Salvation is available to everyone. Paul had discovered one of the most important aspects of God’s lov-ing character. He loved every-one, not just a select few. His grace, which was first shown to the Jews, was not limited

to them. By Martin Luther’s time this aspect of free grace had become forgotten. It was believed that one could only be forgiven through the church.

Salvation cannot be earned by anyone. Paul proclaimed that salvation was the free gift of God to all who would be-lieve in Christ. It was almost too easy, too simple. Some 14 centuries after Paul had written these words Luther rediscov-

Our Lord’s Day at Harmony Missionary Baptist Church of Gerty began service with singing Rescue The Perishing, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, and Glory To His Name.

We were blessed to have Tammy and Myron Lockwood in service. He sang Ten Thousand Years with us and Tammy sang How Long Has It Been.

Devotional Reading was “Sounds of Forgiveness,” Psalm 32:1-11. Adult Lesson was “Driven to Shame,” II Samuel 13:28-39, 14:23-15:10.

Failure to forgive and restore someone who errs can drive him to more shameful acts. Seek to lead those who sin back into fellowship and a life of righteousness. “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such as one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself lest thou also be tempted,” Galatians 6:1.

Youth Lesson was “Disciples are Imitators,” Ephesians 5:1-2. This should be our desire toward God. As Christians, we should want to imitate Him.

Myron sang with us I Need No Mansion; Tammy sang It Is Well With My Soul before the morning message.

Bro. David’s message was “Being Read When Christ Returns,” Matthew 25:1-13. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.”

We miss Sister Billie and Bro. Marsh in service. We are pray-ing their health will be better soon.

We pray you have a good week and may God bless you!

ered them. In that moment, the world changed! the “reforma-tion” began and Protestantism was born!

Salvation is the cornerstone of the Gospel. The power of God for salvation rests in Christ alone. Our forgive-ness, our righteousness, our holiness, our hope, our future is in Christ alone. Once Lu-ther began to fully grasp the depth and reach of God’s love

nothing could stop him. He believed that scripture was the ultimate authority and Christ alone could forgive.

Salvation enables people to live transformed lives. Luther rediscovered what Paul had learned: Jesus makes all the difference. As Christians we boldly proclaim that Christ makes all the difference!
