It's easy to become dis- couraged in this life, but when we adjust our per- spective to view everything against the backdrop of a vic- torious Savior, we can abso- lutely face everything with great confidence and peace. We serve a God, who at the end, after everything has fallen and everything has changed, will still stand. Remembering those who have lost loved ones, who are fighting illness and hopeless- ness. We have a mighty Sav- ior who can restore hope, health and joy. We invite you to worship with us. Ralph Newkirk, Pastor Marla Morrison, Reporter AYRSHIRE VALLEY G.B. CHURCH 1947 E. Co. Rd. 375 S.

State Rd 57 Oakland City Service times: Sunday school 9:30 a.m. CDT; wor- ship service 10 :30 a.m. This Wednesday, we pause our study, Twelve Extraor- dinary Women, so that we can start sorting through all the clothing and other items that have been brought to the church for our annual spring yard sale. The children will contin- ue their weekly activities. It should be noted that as the school years ends, we will soon transition into our week- ly Wednesday summer activ- ities. On May 26, the young- er children will begin a new summer series called "Bible Circus," which will be filled with fun activities, challenges, games and Bible lessons. The older children (sixth grade and up) will enjoy RC4JC (re- mote control cars) on our dirt track following their Bible lesson. We hope you and your children can join us on these fun-filled Wednesday events throughout the summer. It all starts at 6 p.m. CDT, but is pre- ceded by a meal at 5:30 p.m. Last week, our Sunday morning worship enjoyed a personal testimony by Kim- berly White, who spoke to us about her struggle with the birth of her baby and how she had to place trust in the Lord. It was a very difficult time for her, but she knew she could lean not on her own under- standing, but rather on God and trust in Him (Proverbs 3:5 -6). If you have not heard her powerful testimony, visit our website www.crossroad- soc.org and go to the sermon links to listen; you will not be disappointed and it will revive your trust in God. This Sunday, we plan anoth- er special service as we honor our graduate, Ellie Pancake, who is graduating from Pike Central High School. We hope that you will be able to join us this Sunday.

Often these believ- ers would scratch the secret symbol of a fish in the ground to help them identify other Christians. Not only was fish a common food of the day, of- ten used and referenced by Jesus during His ministry, but the letters which make up the Greek word for "fish" ( I- ch-th-y-s) I-Jesus, ch-Christ, th-God, y-Son, s-Savior. The name of Jesus brings power and life and salvation. In a word, the name of Je- sus captures the central mes- sage of the Christian faith. Together with the symbol of the fish, this emblem of the name of Jesus in the middle of a fish reminds the world it isn't about religion, but a rela- tionship with the Living God through Jesus Christ. I won- der if the symbol of a fish is what Jesus was scratching in the dirt when the people were going to stone the woman for adultery? This they said test- ing him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. "But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear" ( John 8:6).

May 28, Youth night at 6:30 p.m. "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). There is no truth that Christ insisted on more frequently, both with His disciples and with strangers who came seeking His help, than the ab- solute necessity of faith, with its unlimited possibilities. Ex- perience has taught us that there is nothing in which we fall so short as a simple and ab- solute trust in God to fulfill in us all that He has promised. To have a life in the abiding pres- ence requires a life of unceas- ing faith. Think for a moment of what the marks of true faith are. First of all, faith counts on God to do all He has promised. It is not content with taking hold of some promises; it seeks noth- ing less than to claim every promise that God has made and does so in its largest and fullest meaning. Sensing its own nothingness and utter im- potence, it trusts the power of an almighty God to work His wonders in the heart in which He dwells. The kind of faith which leads to the abiding pres- ence demands a mastery of one's whole being. Experi- encing Christ's presence all day long is such a wonderful privilege that it calls us to for- sake many things we former- ly thought were lawful. The blessed friend who accom- panies us, the joy and light of our life, must be Lord of all. Then faith will be able to claim and experience the words of the Master, "I am with you al- ways"—Andrew Murray.

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.
