SR 56 in Bowman 812-582-8896 Sunday morning worship 9 a.m.; Sunday school 10 :15 a.m. We are exploring the words in Philippians 4:4-9 and how they can help us thrive in chaos. So many trials come in- to our lives and along with the business of life. These things can easily choke out the Life of God in us. But praise God, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be add- ed? God's order back into our lives—a peace that pass- es all understanding—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.

Keith Chanley, Pastor all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become ma- ture, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-13, NIV ). Jeff Pinney, Pastor Love." Scripture reading: John 14:15 -20. Theme Statement: God reached out to us in spite of the fact that we were still sinners. According to John's Gospel there is only one test of love and that is obedience. Jesus does not leave us to struggle with the Christian life alone. There are three things the Holy Spirit does to help us obey. 1. The Holy Spirit calls us. 2. The Holy Spirit com- forts us. 3. The Holy Spirit com- pels us.

Some- times, when we pray, God answers us in stages. When God sends pain and strug- gles, it's not meant for judg- ment or payback, but a time for us to listen and wait. God answers our cries of distress when we are guilty, in spite of the judgment in our lives, and to win our loyalty and attention. Are we repentant like Jonah was in the belly of the big fish?

The pastor is in Every Tuesday morning on New York City's Upper East Side, Gregory Fryer sits in a Peanuts-style booth offering prayer and a listen- ing ear to passersby. Initial- ly the pastor wanted to draw attention to his church, but instead he ended up notic- ing all the "hungry hearts" in the neighbourhood. Fry- er has been pleasantly sur- prised by all the people who open up to him. "I think they like the idea of a pastor being on the sidewalk," he says. Although a sign on the booth reads "Spiritual advice 5 cents," the pastor keeps a plate of nickels handy if peo- ple want to put one in is jar. Some people donate much more- and some even pray for Fryer. The pastor says when he was inspired by Peanuts character Lucy van Pelt, who has the "audacity, the cour- age to brazenly sit there out in public and offer to deal with important matters." Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday. Boyd Heldring, Pastor Amy Melhiser, Secretary Presbyterian HUNTINGBURG HOLINESS CHURCH 813 N.

God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. • I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary. • I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Pa- tience is a by-product of trib- ulations. It isn't granted, it is earned. • I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings. Happi- ness is up to you. • I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from world- ly cares and brings you clos- er to me. • I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful. • I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things. • I ask God to help me Love others, as much as he loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
