This week PAWS is fea- turing a plush, plump cat named Pipp, who is a very laid back and lazy feline, that we sometimes for- get lives at PAWS. She spends much of the day sleeping in one of sever- al hiding places that she doesn't like to give up. Pipp has plush, white fur, attractive golden eyes, is docile, graceful and would make a won - derful, quiet house pet. She is spayed, has all her shots and can be adopt- ed for $ 30. To adopt Pipp, call 812- 354-9894.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Things don't always work out the way we want them to but we know in all things, even the not so good things, God uses the situation to bring out the good. We know we can trust him. We may not see the big picture now, but we know he has our backs and if we love and serve him. We invite you to worship with us. Ralph Newkirk, Pastor Marla Morrison, Report- er AYRSHIRE VALLEY G.B.

CHURCH Corner of Center and Sycamore Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m.; Wednesday Bible study at 6:30 p.m. Remember those on our prayer list, the shut-ins and our lost loved ones. Jeremiah had misgivings about his ability to take God's words to the peo- ple in Jerusalem. The Lord however, told Jeremiah that he would watch over him, encouraging him to face these challenges head on, because he would not be alone in doing so. We too know that we are not alone in whatever God calls us to do and we can face our chal- lenges with the courage He gives to those who follow His leading. "Do not be afraid of them for I am with you and will rescue you, declared the Lord" ( Jeremiah 1-8). Ken Reeder, Pastor Karri Brock, Reporter GR ACE G.B. CHURCH 1007 E.

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" ( John 8:12). Many today say there is no such thing as absolute truth. From philosophers to pop musicians, the word goes out that "truth" is only what you want it to be, and what is "true" for you, isn't necessarily "true" for any- one else. 17-19.

In one of His bold- est and most uncompromis- ing statements, He affirmed, "I am the way, the truth and the life" ( John 14:6). The writer of the Gospel of John stated, "Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" ( John 1:17). James said that God "chose to give us birth through the word of truth" James 1:18).
