CHURCH 6100 S. Augusta Broadway Street Winslow Pastor 812-582-0756 Sunday morning worship at 10 :15 a.m., children's Sun- day school during morning service; There will be no Wednesday evening fami- ly devotions and fellowship this week. Youth group sixth-12th grades, Sunday evening at 6 p.m. "This same Jesus...will so come in like manner as you saw Him go" (Acts 1:11). The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to God's plan for the future. Unless Christ was raised from the dead, there can be no future kingdom and no returning King. Unless Christ was raised from the dead, sin and death will reign, and God's plan of redemption remains unfullfilled. But Christ has been raised. As the disciples stood watching, after Jesus as- cended into the heaven's, the angels assured them that the risen Christ would some day be their Christ re- turning. If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. Your presence will be greatly ap- preciated, and I am sure you will receive God blessings.

Gary's message was about "Trust and Obey." The scripture reading was from II Corinthians and He- brews. It was a great mes- sage. Then later in the eve- ning, the church sponsored a weiner roast and hayride. Two wagon loads of young and old alike enjoyed a fun time. We appreciated Dave Nalley for providing the tractor and wagon, as well as driving the riders and al- so for starting the fire. Who doesn't like a good hayride on a chilly October evening?
