Scripture reading from Luke 9:32-36 and sermon title, "Spirit and Truth." Theme statement: The emphasis throughout the transformation is on the daz- zling confirmation of Jesus' identity. Jesus' transformed appearance is not only be- cause he is experiencing God's glory, but rather be- cause he is the very source of divine glory. The mes- sage of Jesus' sonship here is given an imperative impli- cation: "Listen to him." Jesus demonstrates three needs for prayer. 1. Praying for truth. 2. Praying for power. 3. Praying for God's pres- ence. Leon Pomeroy, Pastor RUMBLETOWN FREE METHODIST CHURCH 1485 N.

Current study: The Lord's Prayer Series: "A Pattern of Prayer for all Disciples." God has ordained that when we pray and believe, He will do what He oth- erwise would not do. God works on our behalf in an- swer to prayer. Jesus said, "When you pray, say: Our Father... As children, we pray, "Our Fa- ther." As believers, we say "Hallowed by Thy name." As church family. David Warren, Pastor Jeannine Smith, Reporter citizens, we say "Thy king- dom come." As servants, we say "Thy will be done." As humans, we say "Give us our daily bread." As confes- sors, we say "Forgive us our debts (trespasses)." As de- pendents, we say "Lead us not into temptation but de- liver us from evil." As wor- shippers, we say "Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever." Come and worship soon. Fred J.

Disobedience to God. How does it start? With your thoughts. Pastor Keith Moore gave this anal- ogy: If a stray cat comes to your door, what will happen if you feed it? Right, it will keep coming back as long as you keep feeding it. When evil, rebellious thoughts cross your mind...starve it. It will finally die out. Feed it and get ready for more. Praying you bind the strong man this week. Ron Vickers, Pastor Elaine Young, Reporter, 1- 812-749 -1122 (leave a mes- sage). 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. Good St. Patrick On March 17, many churches, especially those with a large Irish popula- tion, will celebrate the life of St. Patrick. He grew up in a Christian home in Brit- ain, but wasn't very religious until a major event changed his life. As a teen, he was captured and sold into slavery in Ire- land, but escaped to Gual (France) after six years. The years of enslavement strengthened his faith. He later wrote, "In that strange land (Ireland), the Lord opened my unbelieving eyes." He was led by God's voice to return to Ireland, where he converted peo- ple to Christianity tribe by tribe. Because Ireland is called the Emerald Isle, those who celebrate St. Patrick's Day will wear something green. Some Christians will even color food or drink green. Many Christians will also eat corned beef and cabbage and decorate tables with shamrocks. Shamrocks are actually three-leaf (not four- leaf ) clover plants. Legend has it that St. Patrick used the three leaves to teach about the Holy Trinity: Fa- ther, Son and Holy Spirit. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday.
