On Bended Knee Even today you can see sheep grazing contentedly in the rocky fields just outside Bethlehem. Not far from what is known as the Shepherd's Fields is the Church of the Nativity— the oldest church in the Holy Land and, it is believed, the very place where Jesus was born on that angel-announced night so long ago. The door to the church is small and narrow, the door so low that all must stoop to enter. It seems very fitting that to visit the birthplace of the King of kings, one must enter on bended knee. The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable—Ralph W. Stockman.

Larry Barr, Pastor The Church Alive Worship Center 506 N. 9th Street Sunday morning worship at 10 a.m. and Wednesday night worship at 7 p.m. If you are looking for a Full Gospel Church, that believes in the Gifts of the Spirit in operation and teaches that the Five Fold Ministry is needed for the perfecting of the Saints. Then we would like to welcome you to come and join us. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God" (Romans 8:14). Being led by the Spirit means allowing Him to be involved in every decision we make, both major and minor. He leads us by peace and by wisdom, as well as by the word of God. He speaks in a still, small voice in our hearts or "the inward witness." Those of us who desire to be led by the Holy Spirit must learn to follow the inward witness and respond quickly. The greatest way to honor God is to obey Him promptly. Hope to see you in Church. Mark Davis, Pastor Greg Davis, Assc.

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. It pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. Of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. Thou anointest my head with oil. The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Intercessory prayer each Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m.; adult Sunday school class in the Fellowship Hall at 9:15 a.m. Care provided for children; morning worship at 10:15 a.m.; Sunday school for children and youth during morning worship service.
