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.

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.

Grenier, Pastor Corinna Williams, Reporter HOUSE OF MERCY CHURCH Corner of East and Porter Winslow Pastor 812-789-5229 A Church with open arms and a loving heart. Sunday morning worship service at 10 a.m.; Sunday school classes at 10 :45 a.m.; Tuesday night, prayer at 7 p.m. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begot- ten Son, that whosoever be- lieves in Him should not per- ish but have everlasting life" ( John 3:16). Words from God's Holy Bi- ble that truly are truth. If you have never experienced this love then you have missed out on a life that is truly worth liv- ing. In this life, you will find love, joy and peace that pass- es our understanding of our carnal mind, but our hearts feel and know. If He is not Lord of your life, there is no better time than now to make it happen. Remember your family and friends for salvation. For- get not the sick and afflicted wherever they may be and al- so remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, our gov- ernments, and our president. George Bruce, Pastor Oakland City First Pentecost Hwy. 64 East Sunday morning service 9:30 a.m. children's Sunday school during the preach- ing of the Word; Sunday evening and Wednesday evening services at 6 p.m. All services are CDT (Gib- son Co. times). In Daniel 8:24,25 —The prophet speaks of the an- ti-christ. His power will be mighty, he'll cause people to prosper and "shall de- stroy the mighty and the holy people." Just as when Hitler took over Germany, it wasn't do- ne all at once. It was a grad- ual thing. For a while he looked like the answer to all their problems. So shall it be when the anti arises. Rabbi Schneider put it this way, "Just as a frog is put in warm water (which is pleasant) but then the heat is turned up. He has no idea he is being destroyed." Such is our society today. Be careful of picking the path that is comfortable, it may lead to a boiling pot. Ron Vickers, Pastor Elaine Young, Report- er, 1-812-749 -1122 (leave a message and number). MAIN STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 10th and Main Streets, Petersburg 812-354-6844 Sunday worship 10 :30 a.m.; Youth group Monday evening at 6 p.m. Come vis- it us, our doors are always open to you. The perks of alone time "Only those who learn to live with loneliness can come to know themselves and life," said poet Carl Sandburg. He described walking in nature, listen- ing to the "sounds of loneli- ness" and wondering, "Who are you, Sandburg? Where have you been, and where are you going? " Jesus also values alone time with God in nature. He often withdrew to pray after being with crowds of people and his disciples. Spending one-on-one time with God helps us find and focus on his mission for our lives. He also uses it to strengthen us for carrying out his impor- tant work. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday. Boyd Heldring, Pastor Amy Melhiser, Secretary HUNTINGBURG HOLINESS CHURCH 813 N.

We invite all of you to come and worship with us. Roy Stilwell, Pastor Pam Lemond, Reporter
