You would cer- tainly be welcome in Jesus' name. May God richly bless you, Gene Burkhart, Pastor "He made Christ who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that IN HIM we would become the righ- teousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right re- lationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]" (II Cor. 5:21, AMP).

Sermon Title: "Growing the Vision." Scripture reading: Acts 16:6 -10. Theme Statement: For a time, all doors seemed to shut to the Apostle Paul. Suddenly and without warn- ing, there emerges a "we" passage in the book of Acts. A dramatic vision was given that eventually changed the entire course of human his- tory. There are three reasons a vision grows, they are: 1. Because of a Good God. 2. Because of Good Goals. 3. Because of Good Growth. Leon Pomeroy, Pastor PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 E.

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.

Sunday morning worship service at 10 :15 a.m.; Sunday school at 11 a.m. There are times we ques- tion what is going on in our lives? As a child of God, you need to understand there will be some "if need be's" in our lives to test our faith and also to remove those things that are unpleasing to God. Know this, that everyday we should be more like Je- sus. Remember to lift up your family, friends and neigh- bors in prayer. Also remem- ber the sick in hospitals, those in nursing homes and finally, pray for your presi- dent and all of government.

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 17th centu- ry, an archbishop travel- ing through Scotland met theologian Samuel Ruther- ford but kept his identity se- cret. Rutherford invited the man to stay with him. When Mrs. Rutherford gathered the servants on Saturday to prepare for worship the next day, the guest joined in and was asked a basic question: "How many commandments are there? " When the guest replied "11," Mrs. Rutherford said, "What a shame it is for you, a man with gray hairs, in a Christian country, to not know how many command- ments there are! " The next morning, Rev. Rutherford went out in the woods to pray and heard his guest doing likewise. When he discovered the archbish- op's identity, Rutherford in- vited him to preach that morning. The archbishop's topic? The 11th command- ment, based on Jesus' words in John 13:34 - "A new com- mandment I give to you, that you love one another" (ESV ). Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday.
