C-2 Church Wednesday, May 17, 2017 The Press-Dispatch Continued from page 1 Baptist CHURCH NOTE DEADLINE 10 A.M. EVERY TUESDAY "I wonder if other dogs think poodles are mem- bers of a weird religious cult"—Rita Rudner. This week, PAWS is featuring a bubbly lit- tle fellow named Benji. When Benji arrived at PAWS, he was in need of some serious grooming. His fur was matted and tangled. He was cooper- ative with his haircut and looks like a new man. Benji appears to be a poodle/terrier mix. He is very social, playful and gets along well with other dogs and cats, and he loves human com- panionship, is very intel- ligent, has a curly coat of cream-colored fur and can be adopted by call- ing 812-354-9894.

" Musical Fundraiser with pianist and entertainer, Alex-Zsolt. He is a Christian artist who has also performed his piano magic for the Walt Disney Company as well as his "America, My Home!" Concerts at the presidential museums and libraries across the country! Independent Catholic Christian more than the praise of God" ( John 12:43). Unfortunately, it is easy when all goes well to lose our perspective. Instead, we must learn like Paul to be content in whatever state we find ourselves. The important thing is to have one consuming pas- sion: to please Christ. Then, whatever happens, we know He has permitted it, a place to teach us and to perfect us for His service. He will en- rich our circumstances, be they pleasant or disagree- able, by His presence with us. If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. I'm sure you will leave feeling blessed.

Believe always in Almighty God (Reference, Psalms 63:1-11) Believe in God that cre- ated the Heavens and the earth. What the Bible said on creation is here just like God said and we can see it with our own eyes. God spoke all into existence and every thing belongs to him. There is only one true liv- ing God, there is no oth- er besides him. How could people worship man-made idols? They believe the im- age or thing is their God. They are being deceived by the devil. This idol can not see, hear or have any life in it at all, it is powerless. However, our God is pow- erful and is a God of mira- cles, savior for our souls, healer and helper to the sick and needy. Always believe in God and never turn from the Lord. Beside him, their is no other. Love Jesus and follow af- ter him. He loves you always no matter the circumstance.
