You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, to the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be si- lent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever" (Psalm 30 :4,5,10 -12). We look forward to see- ing you at all of our servic- es! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us as we gather for praise & worship, celebration and study. Fred J. Grenier, Pastor Corinna Williams, Report- er Pentecostal ABUNDANT LIFE UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH 409 South Fourth St. Petersburg "Where life is more than just living! " Sunday morning worship 10 a.m.; Thursday Bible study 7 p.m. Allen Lich, Pastor HOUSE OF MERCY CHURCH Corner of East and Porter Winslow Pastor 812-789-5229 A Church with a family atmosphere and God's love. Sunday morning worship service at 10 a.m. with Sun- day school classes at 11 a.m. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those that love Him. I believe in this scripture with all of my being, that before long God is going to move by the pre- cious Holy Spirit. A mov- ing of the Spirit in a fashion we have not seen nor expe- rienced. I am so moved in my spirit that I have a great expectancy. Are you expe- riencing a deep moving in your spirit? Be ready for it will come to past. The main thing is that you have made the main thing the main thing in your live and that is Jesus. I believe we are living in a time that some amazing things are about to transpire in the Kingdom of God and for His children. If you do not know Him as Lord and Saviour, invite Him into your live today. Our main focus in life should be for the lost, hurt- ing, helpless, and undone. Pray for your President and all government officials, federal, state, county and lo- cal. This is being in agree- ment with God's Word. Re- member those that are sick, in the hospitals, nursing homes, loved ones, and your Pastor. Take time to read God's Word and pray. Be a friend to someone in need and be a blessing to those around you. What is missing in Ch_ _ ch? Think about it. George Bruce, Pastor MAIN STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 10th and Main Streets, Petersburg 812-354-6844 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 al- so have a van route in Peters- burg to pick anyone up. Come visit us, our doors are always open to you. Providing proof If we are to accept the teaching of Jesus at all, then the only test of the reality of a man's religion is his atti- tude to his fellow men. The only possible proof that a man loves God is the dem- onstrated fact that he loves his fellow men. Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday.

Richard Comer, Pastor OTWELL WESLEYAN CHURCH 2277 N. Mechanics Street Otwell Pastor 812-354-3028 Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m.; evening worship service 6:30 p.m. Tuesday morning wom- en's Bible study at the fel- lowship hall 10 a.m. Youth meeting first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the fellowship hall. Lesson for this week: Each morning you wake up and say to yourself, I have two choices, I can choose to be in a good mood, or I can choose to be in a bad mood. God wants us to be happy, joyful, and cheerful. When hard times come, happiness and cheer may seem diffi- cult, but we can always re- main joyful in God through the good and the bad. God wants us to rejoice in Him. Our approach and attitude to God and life will make such a big difference in our outlook on life, our mood, health, and in our relation- ships with others. Remember to check your mood this week. "The Joy of the Lord is our strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). We invite all of you to come and worship with us.
