C-2 Wednesday, May 5, 2021 The Press-Dispatch Lutheran Baptist Church of Christ Catholic Independent Independent Christian Church of God THURSDAY, MAY 6 AT NOON PIKE COUNTY COURTHOUSE ROTUNDA Several area pastors will lead prayers CROSSROADS BAPTIST CHURCH 2789 S. State Rd 57 Oakland City Service times: Sunday school 9:30 a.m. CDT; wor- ship service 10 :30 a.m. This Wednesday, in our on- going series, Twelve Extraor- dinary Women, we will con- clude our study on the life of Anna. Scripture does not re- veal much about Anna, but yet she dedicated her life to fast- ing, praying and expectant- ly awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. In both that day and in today's world, that is ex- traordinary. We hope you get a chance to join us in our dis- cussion in the finale of Anna. The study and children's activ- ities start at 6 p.m. CDT, but are preceded by a meal that starts at 5:30 p.m. This Wednesday will be the last discussion until after our annual spring yard sale. We will start sorting through all the clothing and other items that have been brought to the church on Wednesday, May 12 and continue preparations un- til the actual dates of the sale. We will resume our study on Wednesday, June 9. I know that is several weeks away and I will remind everyone as the time draws near. Sunday morning worship service, "A Journey with Jo- nah" will conclude this week. The series of Jonah has been very revealing. It is remark- able how our lives resemble that of Jonah. Some may think of it as odd that we would ac- company a man that runs from God. However, when we think about it, we have done the same. There are times that we have not only run from God, but also questioned, dis- obeyed, and been angry with God. So, perhaps we are more like Jonah than we imagined. We hope that you will be able to join us for our last mes- sage and application. Hope to see you there. If you are looking for a place to worship, and a church family, come to Crossroads.

No connectability "spiri- tually." 4. Christians are not work- ing together, seems everyone wants it their way, not Jesus' way. 5. The fewer people that show up at church, the less light of the holy spirit is pres- ent, which makes it dark- er and less joyful. The more that show up, the brighter and more joyful the church becomes. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can- not be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand and it gives light to all the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others so they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14- 16).

Blessed are they who are bored with minister's man- nerisms and mistakes, for they get nothing out of the sermon. Blessed is the church mem- ber who expects to be invited to his own church, for he is part of the problem instead of the solution. Blessed are they who gos- sip, for they cause strife and divisions that please me. Blessed are they who are easily offended, for they soon get angry and quit. Blessed are they who do not give their offering to carry on God's work, for they are my best helpers. Blessed is he who profess- es to love God but hates his brother and sister, for he shall be with me forever. Blessed are the trouble makers, for they shall be called children of the devil. Blessed is he who has no time to pray, for he will be easy prey. By Douglas Parson, Pul- pit Helps. Everyone is welcome to each service. God Bless America.
