Passage to Ponder "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heav- en churning up the great sea. Four great beasts, each differ- ent from the others, came up out of the sea. The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a hu- man being, and the mind of a human was given to it. And there before me was a sec- ond beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh! A fter that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was giv- en authority to rule." (Daniel 7:2-6, NIV ). God bless you and keep you. We welcome you to all ser- vices. Come and worship Je- sus with us.

Help yourself to "FREE FOOD" and may God Bless all of you. "Does God honestly care about what is going on in our lives? When hard times hit or illness strikes, does He real- ly care? The answer is "Yes, a thousand times yes." When the apostle Paul wrote these words he had just endured one of the hardest times in his life: "We were under great pres- sure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life" (II Cor. 1:8). But in the midst of it, God assured him of His compassion and presence, and in time God brought Paul through the tri- als he was experiencing and opened doors to new oppor- tunities. Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compas- sion and the God of all com- fort, who comforts us in all our troubles,so we can comfort those in any trouble. (II Cor. 1:3-4)"—Rev. Billy Graham. Even if you don't believe there is a God, He still cares for you and leaves the door to His loving kindness and Grace open.

"How little room there is for Him in what is called good society. There is room there for all the silly little forms by which men choose to entangle themselves; room for frivolous conversation; room for the ad- oration of the body; there is room for the setting up of this and that as the idol of the hour, but there is too little room for Christ, and it is far from fash- ionable to follow the Lord ful- ly. How little room for him in business. How little room for Him in the schools of the phi- losophers. How little room has He found even in the Church. Go where you will, there is no space for the Prince of Peace but with the humble and con- trite spirits which by grace He prepares to yield Him shel- ter"—Old Paths Circuit Rider.
