The scripture came from Ne- hemiah 2:10 and centered around the re-building of the wall. He spoke to us about how we each have a roll to play and that we must stay on the right-hand side of God and not allow the dev- il to interfere in our endeav- ors. We know that God will get what he wants in His time. We enjoyed the true word of God and the mes- sage for today.

The next meeting will be Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. The youth group will be every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Thought for the week: If God could close the mouth of the lions for Daniel, part the red sea for Moses, make the sun stand still for Josh- ua, open the prison for Peter, put a baby in the arms of Sar- ah, and raise Lazarus from the dead—Then He certain- ly can take care of you. Noth- ing that you are facing today is too hard for him to handle. Be in prayer this week for the lost, the sick, our church, our country and leaders and always each other. God's blessings on you this week. Try to be kind and show God's love because every- one is fighting some kind of battle. If you don't have a church home, we invite you to any of our services.

The Creator before the Creature When you say to a child, "Give me a glass," he knows what you are talking about. The word "glass" is associ- ated in his mind with an ob- ject. Philosophers like Kant tell us that before we have the phenomenon, i.e., that which can be seen or felt by the senses, we have the noumenon, i.e., that which is conceived of by intellectual intuition. In other words, the object's image is first formed in the mind, and then it is produced as an object. We see a table. It is beau- tiful. We admire it, but more than that, we accept the fact that behind that object there was a concept in the mind of someone. Or consider the Empire State Building.

We are rejoicing with heaven right now for the one who made a decision for Christ this past Sun- day. Amen! Denny Wiscaver, Pastor Pam Nutter, Reporter
