Melody Makers of Gibson County recently performed at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis The Melody Makers of Gibson County recent- ly performed at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis as part of the Indiana Extension Homemakers Association Home and Family Confer- ence. The Melody Mak- ers of Gibson County per- formed the song "A Dream Within A Dream" with words based on the po- etry of Edgar Allan Poe and music by Ruth Morris Gray. Following this per- formance, the local chorus members rehearsed sever- al selections with chorus members from other Indi- ana counties. Following the rehearsal, the Melody Mak- ers of Indiana, comprised of members of the local cho- ruses, performed sever- al musical selections in an evening concert under the direction of Dr. Scott Bu- chanan and accompanied by Dr. Kristofer Sanchack.

It was organized as the Tippecanoe County Home Economics Chorus in 1934 and was directed by Dr. Al- bert P. Stewart, music di- rector at Purdue Universi- ty. This chorus led to the organization of other coun- ty choruses and by 1937 the chorus became the official chorus of the Purdue Coop- erative Extension Service. The Gibson County Cho- rus was organized as the Gibson County Home Eco- nomics Chorus at Bald- win Heights Auditorium in Princeton on April 9, 1947, by Dr. Stewart. sus as this Savior and Lord.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Je- sus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:1,2). Earthly possessions may give us temporary happi- ness, but true peace comes from knowing we are for- given and justified through faith in the Lord. We invite you to worship with us at any of our ser- vices.

Remember those on our prayer list, the shut ins and our lost loved ones. Jesus' parable about the unjust judge and the be- seeching widow show us how God is not like a cor- rupt, earthly judge who must be hounded into lis- tening to our prayers. He cares deeply for His chil- dren, and when we humbly come to Him with our prayer requests, He answers them in His will and time. His an- swers may not be what we expected, but we know He is our loving Creator and the always Just Judge. "Then Jesus told his disci- ples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up" (Luke 18:1).

Thought for the week: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). Be in prayer this week for the lost, the sick, our church, our country and leaders, and always each other. God's blessings on you this week. Try to be kind and show God's love because every- one is fighting some kind of battle. If you don't have a church home, we invite you to any of our services. Terry Beadles, Pastor Kathy Henderson, Re- porter Wednesday evening Bible study at 6 p.m. Rev. Pancake's message was preparing to battle with evil. Scriptures were from Ephesians 6:13-14 and John 17:4-17. In this series of ser- mons, he used the belt of truth. We appreciated Gary, for his inspiring message.

Our Mission Statement: Loving the 99, always look- ing for the one. Gary Pancake, Pastor Ivan Mason, Reporter Joseph Roman, Pastor Clara Walls, Reporter STS PETER & PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH 711 Walnut Street Petersburg 812-354-6942 Mass schedule: Saturday, July 14 at 5:30 p.m.; Sunday, July 15 at 11 a.m., Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Rosary is prayed before the Saturday evening mass and before the Sunday morn- ing mass. Individual Confes- sions 30 minutes before the week-end masses at 5 p.m. and 10 :30 a.m. The following is a state- ment from Daniel Cardinal Dinardo who serves as Pres- ident of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "At its core, asylum is an instrument to preserve the right to life." The Attorney General's recent decision elicits deep concern because it potentially strips asylum from many women who lack adequate protection. These vulnerable women will now face return to the extreme dangers of domestic vio- lence in their home country. Additionally I join Bishop Joe Vasquez, Chairman of U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Committee on Mi- gration, in condemning the continued use of family sep- aration at the U.S./Mexico border as an implementation of the Administration's zero tolerance policy. Our government has the discretion in our laws to en- sure that young children are NOT separated from their parents and exposed to ir- reparable harm and trau- ma. Families are the foun- dational element of our so- ciety and they must be able to stay together. While pro- tecting our borders is impor- tant, we can and must do bet- ter as a government and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety. Separat- ing babies from their moth- ers is NOT the answer and is immoral. God Bless America. Pray for the Children. Frank Renner, Pastor Sue Willis, Reporter FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH 1400 E.

Liberalism "A clergyman, upon hear- ing that liberalism was creeping into the churches, remarked: 'If that is true, I hope it strikes only the con- tribution box.'" Remember it was Jesus who said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20 :35). Because He lives.
