C-4 Wednesday, November 20, 2013 The Press-Dispatch ★ Church news arthur g.b. church Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship and children's church 10:30 a.m.; business meeting third Wednesday of each month 6 p.m. Our monthly business meeting is this Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 6 p.m. We will elect church board members for the next three years and we encourage all members to attend. Our annual Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner will be on December 8, at 4 p.m. Bring a covered dish and join in the fellowship. "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." (Hebrews 13:36). No matter how little you have, you can always give some of it away—Catherine Marshall. Even when we're struggling ourselves, with a little creativity we can often do more than we think we can for someone else. One of the best ways we can show gratitude to God is to help Him help those around us. Who needs your help today? We are remembering those in our church and community who have lost loved ones this week. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. We invite you to worship with us.

Success is doing the best you can, with what you have, wherever you are in life. The Bible warns, "When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise" (II Corinthians 10:12 NIV). When you play the comparison game, you are like the two cows that saw the milk truck go by with a sign, "Pasteurized, homogenized, Vitamin A added." One cow said to the other, "Makes you feel sort of inadequate, doesn't it?" God will help you be all that you can be, but He will never help you be someone else. When you focus your attention on who you aren't by comparing yourself with someone else, you lose sight of who you need to become. Ever heard of the eighteen/forty/sixty rule? When you're eighteen, you worry about what everybody's thinking about you. When you're forty, you realize that it doesn't really matter what they think about you. When you're sixty, it dawns on you that most of them weren't thinking about you at all. Paul's life changed dramatically with one question: "Lord, what do You want me to do?" (Act 9:6 NKJV). Only when you ask that question, will you discover who you are and what God's called you to be." (Taken in part from The Word For You Today) See you in church next Sunday. Mel Camp, Pastor Winslow United Methodist Church Sunday morning worship 10:15 a.m. (We will save a pew for you.) Sunday, Dec. 1 is the first Sunday of Advent—Be in prayer as we start our Advent journey. Sunday, Dec. 8, we will have our Holiday Dinner immediately following morning worship. Meat, dessert and drinks will be furnished. Bring a covered dish and join us for a meal and fellowship. Blessings "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name" (Hebrews 13:15). Hem your blessings with thankfulness, so they don't unravel. Devara Krause, Reporter rumbletown free methodist church 1485 N. St. Rd. 57 Petersburg Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10:30 a.m.; no Sunday evening worship until the time changes; Tuesday Bible study 6:30 p.m. "I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord" (Psalm 116:1, 2, 17 NLT). When in doubt, pray. When troubled, pray. When afraid, pray. In all circumstances pray and thank God. We invite you to worship and pray with us. But if not with us, attend a church of your choice. The Pike County Ministerial Association's Community Thanksgiving service is at 7 p.m. on Nov. 26 at Petersburg Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Josh Bowers of the Church of God will preach the message. The Rumbletown Church is located three and one half miles south of Petersburg on Indiana State Road 57.

The Savior's Grief Evangelist Gypsy Smith said that once, when a group of gypsies were forced to cross a swollen stream, a great number of men were drowned. One young man made a desperate attempt to save his mother who kept clinging to him. Several times he pushed her away, saying, "Let go, Mother, and I can save you." But she would not heed him and was lost. At the funeral, the son stood by his mother's grave and said over and over, "How hard I tried to save you, Mother, but you wouldn't let me!" These are the tragic words that we shall hear Jesus Christ say to many in eternity one day, "How hard I tried to save you, but you wouldn't let me. Your will was the great hindrance." Bob Shepherd, Reporter main street presbyterian church 10th and Main Streets, Petersburg Sunday school 9:15 a.m.; Sunday worship 10:30 a.m. We have a nursery for children up to the age of seven and we also have a van route in Petersburg to pick anyone up. Come visit us, our doors are always open to you. This is a good analogy since the holidays will consist of many pies How easy it is to miss the point of living . . . It is too easy to become an algebra pie with one slice for each part—work, family, school, recreation—and only one slice for God. God is the whole pie! Perhaps God's presence among us is brighter and more extravagant than we have imagined. Perhaps the very idea of life is to experience and discover God in it. Maybe we are meant to journey not only toward God or even for God, but with God. Office hours: 9-noon, Monday-Friday. Phone: 3546844.

Pa Won't Like it It seems a farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise. "Hey Willis," the farmer yelled. "Forget your troubles. Come in with us. Then I'll help you get the wagon up." "That's mighty nice of you, " Willis answered, "but I don't think Pa would like me to." "Awe, come on," the farmer insisted. "Well okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "But Pa won't like it." After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. "I feel GOSPEL CENTER a lot better now, but I know CHURCH Pa is going to be real upset." Independent "Don't be foolish," the Baptist Church neighbour said with a smile. 420 E.
