H Religious Viewpoint This week PAWS is featuring a fun-loving eight month old Terrier mix with warm brown soulful eyes. Kao is neutered and ready for adoption just in time for Christmas. To adopt this fun-loving little guy call PAWS at 354-9894. PAWS pet of the week " Paws version of Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer." Kao the canine reindeer is a very special pup. And if you ever saw him you couldn't help but love him up. Last week he went to Pet Smart for Adoption Day, but he was never chosen no one even looked his way. Then one cold December night, Santa came to say, Kao with your love for life let's find you a fam- ily tonight. All the family members loved him and they shouted out with glee; thank-you Santa Claus thank-you for finding us such a great puppy. Kao is a fun-loving eight month old pup that is spirited and playful. He is a terrier mix and is black with brindle highlights and white accents. His ears stand totally erect when he's not wearing his reindeer antlers. He has warm brown, soulful eyes and the personality that would melt anyone's heart. He is full grown and weighs about 37 lbs. He would make a perfect family dog. Kao is neutered and ready for adoption just in time for Christmas. Call 354-9894 to see Santa's choice canine. Don't forget the pets at PAWS this Christmas. We can always use raw hides, fiddlesticks, nylabones, Temptations and sturdy dog toys and cat cubes. Glezen G.B. Church Sunday school 9:30; morning worship 10:30; Wednesday Bible study 6:30. This Sunday evening at 6 p.m. will be our Christmas program. Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate the "reason for the season." Remember those on our prayer list, the shut-ins and our lost loved ones. The best gift, God's gift— His only son. When Jesus, was born that first Christmas, He took on the form of a human body. He grew to manhood, preached and ministered until crucifixion when He hung on the cross and sacrificed His life. By doing so He purchased with His blood the gift of forgiveness for all our sins. That gift guarantees us the gift of eternal life in heaven with the risen Savior for all eternity. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Eddie Willis will bring the morning message. Karri Brock, Reporter Iva Union Church Sunday school 9:30 followed by a short worship service; Wednesday Bible study 7. Everyone is welcome.
