They seem to have figured out how to live beautifully so much better than we hu- mans have. While we struggle to figure out why we were put here on Earth, all a dog wants is to love and be loved—a powerful lesson for us all"—Dr Ber- nie Siegel. This week, PAWS is fea- turing a handsome fel- low named Lancer, who is a Chow Chow mix, has a beautiful soft coat of red fur, full plumed tail that curls high over his back, is approximately four years old, house broken, has an independent spirit, doesn't like cats and would do best to be the only dog in the home. To inquire about Lancer, call 812-354-9894. PAWS WEEK PAWS WEEK Pet of the LANCER Catholic First Church of God Sunday, Oct. 27 4-6 P.M. Come Join Us! 2135 E.

Frank Renner, Pastor Rev. Mark Wade, Deacon Christian FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH 1400 E. Main Street Petersburg 812-354-6775 Regular services: Sunday school 9:30 a.m. and worship service and the Lord's Sup- per at 10 :30 a.m. A couple weeks ago, I wrote about giving up. More importantly not giving up. Some of us feel like our life is like that project in the ga- rage, or the jigsaw puzzle on the table, unfinished. Unfin- ished without the urgency or the motivation to finish. And I encouraged, don't give up. You see Paul tells us in the scriptures that we are hard- pressed on every side. That seemingly in life, we feel like life at times is coming down on us from every an- gle. When that happens, we just want to give up. But that isn't where the verse ends. In fact, what Paul actually says is "We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in de- VINCENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH 8264 E. State Rd. 56 Sunday morning worship and the Lord's supper at 9:30 a.m. and Bible school at 10 :30 a.m.; evening worship at 6:30 p.m. You are welcome to attend these services. Worship The other day it was said, "There has been a twelve percent drop in the last ten years in number of folk who claim to be Christians." No doubt with this is a par- allel drop in worship. Emer- son said, "What greater ca- lamity can fall upon a na- tion than the loss of wor- ship." Dare we look around us and wonder what will hap- pen next. Because He lives. John Manges, Minister WINSLOW CHRISTIAN CHURCH Corner of Lafayette and Walnut Pastor 812-753-3539 Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m.; We extend a warm wel- come to everyone. Dr. Robert Asa, Minister spair. What Paul wants us to know that in Christ, though we are faced with the harsh- est realities, our hope goes deeper and farther than our greatest despair. The hope and the promise is what we carry around. If you read fur- ther in II Corinthians 4:8 -12 you come to see that though we bear the burden of death in this life, it is Jesus' life that is revealed. Don't give up. Grace and Peace. Everyone welcome. DJ Bryant, Pastor Church of Christ BRENTON CHAPEL CHURCH OF CHRIST 1194 E. CR 400 N.

"I will give great praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth; And in the midst of many I will praise Him. For He will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul" (Psalms 109:30 - 31). Many want to judge be- lievers in an effort to make themselves seem or feel bet- ter about not wanting to give up their sinful behavior. Like David, I praise God, because Jesus has the sole right to judge me. He paid for that right on the cross. When I recognized my need for Him, confessed that need and repented, He took a stand for me. He declared me forgiven, free from sin's bondage and continues to do so as I continue to express my praise and need of Him. He offers the same to you. Tell Him that you need Him, and you will find that you can't truly live without Him. Denny Wiscaver, Pastor Kimberly Flynn, Reporter LIVING FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL 718 E.

"In that I command th- ee this day, to love the Lord thy God; to walk in His ways and to keep His command- ments and His statues and His judgments" (Deuterono- my 30 :16). "What is the sweetness of love? It is love made per- fect and filling, enlarging and overflowing the heart and deluging the mental faculties with its delicious currents. It is love filling the tongue and selecting the fittest words or else holding precious silence. It is love that conceals all of its pain in the bosom of Je- sus and gives its sunshine to others. It is love that can sow seed amid pains, persecu- tions, and tears, and willing- ly have another to reap all the harvest and praise. It is love that studiously seeks to con- ceal itself and exhibit Jesus. It is the most saintly choice of the will"—G.D. Watson.

Joining the Church Someone once called a pastor to say he wanted to join the church. But, he went on to explain that he did not want to worship every week, study the Bible, visit the sick, witness to non-Chris- tians or serve as a leader or teacher. The pastor commended him for his desire to join but told him the church he sought was located in anoth- er section of town. The man took the directions and hung up. When he arrived at the church, the man came face to face with the logical result of his own apathetic attitude. There stood an abandoned church building boarded up and ready for demolition.
