We see Him in the earthquake and tem- pest, stilling the storm, calm- ing the fierce, wild passions of men, and molding the na- tions; and we cry out, "The Mighty God! " We are bereft and lonely and heart sore. We cry like an orphaned child in the night, and there is none to help; no one understands. Then He draws nigh with infinite comprehension of our heartache and weari- ness and pain, and with fath- omless consolations He folds us in the embrace of His love, and we pillow our hearts in Him and whisper, "The Ev- erlasting Father! The Prince of Peace! " (Samuel Logan Brengle). Chad Searls, Pastor PIKE COUNTY CENTER FOR WOMEN'S MINISTRIES Phone —812-582-8222 Office hours: Open Mon- day, Tuesday and Friday, 9 a.m. till noon.

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.

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. During the Holocaust, Anne Frank, a German- Jewish girl, and her fami- ly hid in a secret place in a home in Amsterdam. They were caught and sent to a concentration camp where Anne died of an illness at 15. Her diary, which details her activities, thoughts and hardships during the months of hiding, is a clas- sic work. It shows Anne was a positive thinker who did not focus on the misery she faced, but on what she called "the glory that remains." She wrote: "Think of the beauty that again and again discharged itself within and without you, and be happy." Thinking of Anne Frank's words this Thanksgiving, perhaps we can be remind- ed of the God-given beau- ty in our own lives - the joy- ous gifts of our families and friends, the abundant boun- ties of nature, and the very breath we breathe. No matter what has knocked us to our knees in the past or is weighing heav- ily upon us now, we can re- member that God's love and power are still available to us in the final victory. Anne Frank made the right choic- es and so can we. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday. Boyd Heldring, Pastor Amy Melhiser, Secretary HUNTINGBURG HOLINESS CHURCH 813 N.
