"First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your FAITH is spo- ken of throughout the whole world" (Romans 1:8). Notice Paul doesn't add anything to the word FAITH, nothing added about law or good works. He is telling us we are promised our salva- tion through FAITH plus noth- ing. This doesn't mean we shouldn't do good works, and we should know that God's commandments are writ- ten on our hearts as believ- ers. Once we are born again in spirit, these things just ap- pear to us naturally, with the help of the Holy Spirit remind- ing us to love one another. Let a man so consider us as servants of Christ and stew- ards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful (I Corinthians 4:1, 2). These two verses mean nothing less than we are ser- vants of our God almighty, we are stewards of the gospel and are to spread it to every- one we meet. Jesus died, was buried and rose on the third day —Amen.

Nothing narrow, nothing stinted, ever issues from His store; To His own He gives full measure, run- ning over, evermore. There is always something over, when we, from the Father's hand, take our portion with thanks- giving, praising for the path He planned. Satisfaction, full and deepening, fills the soul, and lights the eye, when the heart has trusted Jesus, all its need to satisfy. There is al- ways something over, when we tell of all His love; Unplumbed depths still lie beneath us, un- scaled heights rise far above; Human lips can never utter all His wondrous tenderness, we can only praise and wonder, and His name forever bless"— Margaret E. Barber.

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.

Edwin H. Wicks, Pastor Rothman, worship leader. Paula Mann, Administrative Assistant Methodist PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 Walnut Street As the number of COVID cas- es decreases, people are start- ing to return to many of the ac- tivities they have been missing. We are returning to many of our regular activities. We cur- rently meet in person for wor- ship service at 10 :30 a.m. on Sunday. The messages are al- so live on Facebook, or you can watch the message later. With the weather getting warmer, we will start transmitting via an FM station, if you prefer to stay in your car and listen in the church parking lot. We will let people know when we start broadcasting and what channel to tune into. Sunday school for all ages reopens at 9:30 a.m. Location of the classes has changed. We will help you get to the proper classroom. We have also started a new Sunday School class called "The Journey." Jodi Correll is teaching. This is not an age- based class. It is a discipleship class designed to help people know Scripture better, and be- come more like Jesus. It is a great class for young adults, new believers and people who just want to be refreshed and grow, even if they have been following Jesus for years. Youth Group meets at 5 p.m. on Sunday. It is our goal for our youth group to be service ori- ented. The teens will do a work project at someone's house or other ministry, and have a brief devotional. It is important that we have your contact information and a way to contact each teen, because we may meet at the church, or at the place we will be serving. Families are welcome take part in the service project, but the parents are responsible for their children. The nursery will remain closed for now. We don't believe it is a good idea to allow children of different families to play together at this time. If your child needs to be tak- en out of the service, the nurs- ery can always be used as a place to change your child, or as a cry room. It is important that everyone wears their masks until they reach their seat. We also ask that people stay with the group they came with and not shake hands. We use every other pew, and ask that you stay socially dis- tanced from those in your pew who you did not come with. We make every effort to ster- ilize our facility between ser- vices. There is a basket as you en- ter the sanctuary for tithes and offerings. You may also give online through petersburg- fmc.org. There is a link to our website on our Facebook page also, and we often put announcements and information on both pages. Peace and joy in the Lord. Mark Schlechty, Pastor
