"Someday we will all die and stand before God to give an ac- count of our lives- - - and if we have ignored God and turned away from His offer of salva- tion, we can only expect His judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). Those are sobering words that we ignore at our peril. But the Bible warns us that God al- so brings judgment upon us in life. The Bible says, "You may be sure that your sin will find you out " (Numbers 32:23). "For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God, and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gos- pel of God" (I Peter 4:17)? By: Rev. Billy Graham.

The Battlefield of the Mind "Finally, brethren, whatso- ever things are true, whatso- ever things are honest, what- soever things are just, what- soever things are pure, what- soever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Phi- lippians 4:8). What would happen if we thought exclusively on "these things"? We are instructed to do just that. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that ex- alteth itself against the knowl- edge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (II Cor- inthians 10 :4-5). This is war. Many battles would never have to be fought if we would be proactive in our thought life. Remember the old adage, "an idle mind is the devil's workshop."

Otwell United Methodist in- vites you to join us this Sun- day at 10 :30 a.m. as we worship our Lord Jesus Christ; Sunday school, 9:30 a.m. "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become ma- ture, attaining to the whole mea- sure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:11-13, NIV ). Jeff Pinney, Pastor PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 Walnut Street We are running pretty much back to normal now, with the exception that we ha- ven't opened our nursery yet. We will plan to do that as soon as possible. Normal weekly schedule is as follows: Sunday school starts at 9:30 a.m. with morn- ing worship starting at 10 :30 a.m. We are doing teen minis- try on Sunday nights at 5:30 p.m. during the summer. Our Wednesday program will start with an outdoor family night celebration September 15. We hope to have inflatables, but if not, we will have plenty of food and activities. We are still working out the details of the Wednesday night min- istry. With the loss of Shirley Graham, our preschool lead- er for the past 50 years, we have to adjust how we do min- istry. We plan to do ministry for children from preschool to high school. Time is still to be decided. The time will only be one hour this year, and we plan to start earlier if possible and we will provide transpor- tation for those who need it. With school starting in Au- gust, that would be a good time for you to reconnect with us on Sunday morning. Most people have returned, but some are still being cautious. I can't overestimate the value of gathering together in per- son on Sunday morning, so we can take who we are in Christ, and apply it to every area of our lives. Peace and joy in the Lord. Mark Schlechty, Pastor RUMBLETOWN FREE METHODIST CHURCH 1485 N. St. Rd. 57 Petersburg Morning worship at 10 :30 a.m. The church is located south of Petersburg on State Road 57.

Josh Sanders, Pastor Sherry Julian, Reporter WHITE RIVER CHAPEL UMC 3555 W. SR 56 Bowman 812-582-8896 Sunday worship 9 a.m.; Sun- day school 10 :15 a.m. We are exploring the words in Philippians 4:4-9 and how they can help us thrive in cha- os. So many trials come into 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 righteous- ness; 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 passes all understanding—He is in con- trol. Facebook: White River Chapel UMC, Jeff Pinney.
