Help yourself to "FREE FOOD" and may God Bless all of you. When we go down a wrong path in life, God grieves over our foolishness, because He knows we are only hurting ourselves. He also knows this is our natural tendency, be- cause, we like sheep, easily wander and stray from the on- ly Shepherd who can guide us and keep us safe. What decisions are you fac- ing? Don't rely only on your own wisdom, or even on the wisdom of others. Instead seek God's will and ask Him to guide you and show you his will. Remember, His way is al- ways best—always. "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6) —Bil- ly Graham.

A Partaker of His Holiness "My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art re- buked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chas- tening, God dealeth with you as with sons...Now no chasten- ing for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nev- ertheless afterward it yield- eth the peaceable fruit of righ- teousness unto them which are exercised thereby...Follow peace with all men, and holi- ness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:5 -7, 11, 14). God chastens us for our profit that we may be partak- ers of his holiness.

Michael (Mike) Punke, Pas- tor PETERSBURG FREE METHODIST CHURCH 202 Walnut Street We are running pretty much back to normal now, with the exception that we haven'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 min- istry 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 transportation 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 cau- tious. I can't overestimate the value of gathering together in person on Sunday morning, so we can take who we are in Christ, and apply it to every ar- ea 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.

"Sometimes it feels impos- sible to believe that 'the Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him' (v. 25), especially when we don't see an end to our suf- fering. But we can cry out to Him, trust that He hears us, and that He'll be faithful to see us through'"—Julie Schwab. What's making it difficult for you to trust God today? What will help you feel com- fortable enough to cry out to Him? "Father, I need You right now. Help me to trust You to come through for me in my dif- ficult situation"—Amen. 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 chaos. So many trials come into our lives and along with the busi- ness 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 righteousness; 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 un- derstanding—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chap- el UMC, Jeff Pinney.
