C-4 Wednesday, May 21, 2014 The Press-Dispatch H church news Continued from page 1 PAWS pet of the week Sometimes I feel sorry for my do- mestic. I wake him up at 2 a.m. to get out, at 4 a.m. to get back in again and at 6 a.m. to make my breakfast. If he ac- cidentally wakes me while vacuuming, I get quite cross and sulk for hours. This week PAWS is featuring an al- most two year old, bright-eyed young gal named Blizzard, who likes to lay around, look gorgeous and especially likes to be waited on. She is a friend- ly feline, who exhibits lots of playful- ness, curiosity and is an American short hair with tiger stripped ring- lets, white accents and has lovely gold- en eyes. Blizzard can be adopted by calling 812-354-9894. this week PaWs is featuring a gorgeous young gal named bliz- zard, a friendly feline who exhibits lots of playfulness and curiosity. to adopt blizzard, call 812-354-9894. abunDant life uniteD PenteCostal ChurCh 409 south fourth st.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do no be afraid" ( John 14:27). "This blessed friend is Jesus; it is His will and plan that we hang on to Him, and hold tight always, in whatev- er circumstances"— Julian of Norwich. Did you ever think that when Christ was dying on the cross, He made a will? Perhaps you have thought that no one ever remem- bered you in a will. You have been remembered, if you are in the kingdom. To his dis- ciples he said, " My peace, I leave with you, that is my legacy." "My joy," think of it, "My peace give I unto you," not our peace, but His peace. No matter your circum- stances, His peace is yours for the asking. "Lord, Thank You for Your many bless- ings, including the inheri- tance of peace"—Amen. If you don't have a church home, we invite you to come and worship with us. Kyle Moore, Pastor Marla Morrison, Reporter ayrshire valley G.b.

Don't waste time wondering "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the peti- tions that we desired of him" (I John 5:14-15). God has made some very specific promises in His Word and it's His will to ful- fill every one of them in your life. In fact, those promises are divinely guaranteed by a contract that's been signed in the blood of Jesus. The Bible says He's the same yesterday, today and forever. His will is too. Get the book and base your prayers on it. Then you can rest assured the answer is on the way. You are welcome to wor- ship with us in any of our services.

ChurCh Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m. and Wednesday Bible study 6:30 p.m. Remember those on the prayer list, the shut-in and our lost loved ones. Jesus taught the teacher of the Law that loving God with our whole being and loving others is really two sides of the same coin. We are to love God and we are to love others. Be thankful for those who have loved you and resolve to love others in our love-starved world. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as your- self. There is no command- ment greater than thee" (Mark 12:30 -31).

Come visit us, our doors are always open to you. ever-evolving, ever- loved hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," often known sim- ply as "The Navy Hymn," dates back to 1860, when William Whiting wrote it for a student of his about to travel by ship from England to America. Original verses testified to the protection of God the Father, Christ, the Ho- ly Spirit and the Trinity. In 1940, the U.S. Episcopal Church rewrote the hymn to include travel on land and in the air. Many verses have been written since: for Na- vy SEALs, submariners, as- tronauts, military families, ship dedications and more. The following verses, in- tended for Memorial Day, may be used with the cred- it line below: We thank you, God, for loved ones dear, Who clung to faith beyond their fear, Who served and paid the highest price, For freedom bought with sacri- fice. May they remind us of your Son, Whose death our final freedom won—Heidi L. Mann, 2012. Office hours: 9-noon, Monday-Friday. Phone: 812- 354-6844.
