Larry Stoops, Pastor PETERSBURG FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 801 East Walnut Petersburg 812-354-6658 We are Christians following Christ and serving Christ with compassion Sunday morning wor- ship 9:30 a.m.; Sunday school, following at 10 :45 a.m.; Wednesday, night Bi- ble study at 6 p.m.; Wednes- day night choir practice at 7:30 p.m. First Sunday of Lent. Sermon Series: "He Chose the Nails." Scripture Reading: Colos- sians 2:13-14. Sermon Title: "I Forgive You." Theme Statement: Much has been said about the cross itself, but what about the nails? Paul turns to grateful thanksgiving for the benefits which the Chris- tian has received in Christ. We can receive forgiveness for our sins today, because our sins have been trans- ferred on Christ. Three transferences hap- pen when we put our faith in Christ. PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 E.

Hope Barnett, Reporter WHITE RIVER CHAPEL UMC 3555 W. 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.

Grenier, Pastor Corinna Williams, Report- er 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 servic- es: Praise and worship at 10 :15 a.m.; Ministering of the Word and Sunday school at 11 a.m. You must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God.

George Bruce, Pastor OAKLAND CITY FIRST PENTECOST Hwy. 64 East Sunday morning service 9:30 a.m. with children's Sunday school during the ministry of the Word; Sun- day and Wednesday eve- ning services at 6 p.m. All services are CST (Gibson Co. times). • There will be a Revival, March 7-9, with Rev.

The Bible speaks of the sin that easily besets us. We are not tempted to sin by the same things. Samson was a great man and God used him but he had a weakness, a temptation he was not good at controlling. Philistine women. He couldn't seem to stay away from them. I think the moral of this story would be—Don't keep visiting your temptation (sin), eventually it will blind you. God's blessings on you 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. Maundy Thursday What is Maundy Thurs- day, the Thursday of Holy Week all about? The word "Maundy" is a shortened version of the Latin word mandatum, which means commandment. At the Last Supper, Jesus gave his friends a new com- mandment. He told the disci- ples, "I give you a new com- mandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another" ( John 13:34, NRSV ). As Christians gather to eat and share Holy Com- munion on Maundy Thurs- day, we should make a spe- cial effort to exhibit our love and respect for one an- other. Let us seek out peo- ple whom we don't natural- ly have affection for and ex- press our wish that the liv- ing Christ may dwell in them and bless them. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday.

Richard Comer, Pastor en's Bible study at the fellow- ship hall 10 a.m. God's Blessings The man whispered "God, speak to me" and a meadow- lark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled "God speak to me." And the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not lis- ten. The man looked around and said "God let me see you" and a star shone bright- ly. But the man did not no- tice. And the man shouted "God show me a miracle" and a life was born. But the man did not know. So, the man cried out in despair. "Touch me God and let me know that you are here." Whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Moral: Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way you ex- pect. We invite all of you to come and worship with us.
