South Gibson Star-Times Church Tuesday, May 3, 2022 B-9 The Daughters of Isabel- la Haubstadt Circle #151 met on April 18 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Haubstadt. Guest speaker was Lori DeV- illez, founder of Trotter House which is a new family and pregnancy resource center in Evansville, located at 2207 E. Morgan Ave, suites C & G. Trotter House receives no gov- ernment funding, but relies on Biblical foundations to serve the needs of mothers and fam- ilies who find themselves fac- ing an unplanned pregnan- cy or difficult life situations. All services are designed to equip, empower, and encour- age women to continue the life of their babies and to of- fer practical support and re- sources through education and training. Lori was invit- ed to speak by Rhonda Rein- brecht, who met Lori though Reinbrecht Homes when Lori moved to Evansville from her similar work in Texas. Circle #151 has donated to Trotter House and members are en- couraged to tour the facili- ty (812-402-0101, trotterhou- seevv.org). The Circle's com- mittee served desserts and drinks before the departure of Lori and her mother, Pat, to permit time for visiting. Regent Kris Lutz opened the meeting. Chancellor Becky Siewers led the open- ing prayer. Kathy Wilderman was installed as a new mem- ber. Father Tyler Tenbarge sent a thank you for the circle's donation to the House of Dis- cernment.

Mother's Day dinner slated for May 16, Sommerfest booth planned Daughters of Isabella News By Ann Minnis, Scribe Little Miracles Pre-School mans 5:8). His love also keeps us secure, for as the Apostle says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? " (Ro- mans 8:35). The love of Christ constrains us or motivates us to serve Him. We can never re- pay what he has done for us, but out of gratitude for what He has accomplished for us we should desire to live for Him (II Corinthians 5:14,15). With this knowledge of the love of Christ we can enjoy the full- ness of God. MINUTES Continued from page 8 stances bearable. When we seek God in child- like faith we can be assured that He hears us. Often, it is the floods of life that drive us to our knees and position us to seek Him with a deeper lev- el of sincerity. Not only do we come to realize that God tru- ly is our strength, our refuge and our loving Heavenly Fa- ther, we come to grasp the life changing truth that Paul came to know—"Christ lives in me." All of us will be confront- ed with things which are to- tally beyond our control. If we continue to focus on those things which we can do noth- ing about, that focus quick- ly turns into worry and our faith becomes that of an athe- ist. There will be burdensome times in each of our lives when only the shoulders of God can bear the weight that we are experiencing. We are wise to seek Him and cast our care upon Him when facing those times. For this reason Peter wrote, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) Never despair in weakness and frailty for it is there we learn that Christ is our life. It is there we learn that Christ will live His life through us and will help us respond with victory to all of life's challeng- es if we will only seek and fo- cus upon Him. Sickness, temptation, frustration and even death are no match for the One who desires to reveal His power to you. Begin to focus on God and not your problems today and let Him reveal that He truly cares for you. INSIGHT Continued from page 8 me. "But whoever causes one of these little ones who be- lieve in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Matt 18:6. To tell a six-year-old child they can be any sexual orientation or gender they want is laugh- able. Unfortunately, I am not laughing because many peo- ple, including Disney, believes a child can choose their sexu- al orientation or gender. Last week the Florida legis- lature, in response to Disney's attacking the "Parent's Rights in Education" bill, passed a bill revoking Disney's special self-governing status. The governor quickly signed it into law. This legislation will cost Disney millions. Thousands of families have cancelled their vacations and Disney Channel subscriptions. Disney is feel- ing the financial heat as their stock prices fall. In the last week, Disney stock has fallen nine percent. Nothing gets a corporate boardroom's attention faster than falling stock prices. Ex- pect Disney to do a little pub- lic relation backpedaling to stem the cash hemorrhage. Disney is a huge corporation. It will survive, but the damage to their wholesome family im- age is permanent. Those who grew up with the Mickey Mouse club will remember their closing Alma Mater song. "Now it's time to say goodbye. To all our compa- ny. M-I-C—See you real soon. K-E-Y—why? because we like you. M-O-U-S -E." Sadly, Disney has discontin- ued Mickey and Minnie greet- ing kids with hello boys and girls. R.I.P. Mickey and Min- nie and childhood innocence. "Whatever happened to Ran- dolph Scott?

During our Pre-K trip to Australia we searched the Great Barrier Reef for fish, pearls, exotic shells and coral. The school age crew went on an exciting Adventure in search of Carmen Sand- iego. She led us all around the world, but we finally found her right here in our very own building.
