OPEN OFFICE SESSIONS Once again this year, I will be utilizing a collabora- tive opportunity for all mem- bers – students, staff, par- ents, guardians, and com- munity members – of the Wood Memorial School Community. With this said, I believe to be most effective with the development and growth of our students it is imperative that every stake- holder of Wood Memorial have an opportunity to col- laborate and provide input in any area/aspect of inter- est involving our school(s) they may have. Thus, I will conduct monthly "Open Of- fice" sessions, focused on providing time for such col- laboration to occur. I encourage you to come meet anytime to review items of interest you may have. You may schedule a meeting by calling 812-749 - 4757 and requesting a time. In keeping with the theme of collaboration and com- munication, I want to invite Wood Memorial stakehold- ers to follow the happenings at the junior high and high school by joining us on twit- ter at WMTrojans1.

David Warren, Pastor HOUSE OF MERCY CHURCH Corner of East and Porter Winslow Pastor 812-789-5229 A Church with open arms and a loving heart. Sunday morning worship service at 10 a.m., with Sun- day school classes at 10 :45 a.m.; Every other Tuesday night, prayer at 7 p.m. Jesus told His disciples in the garden to watch and pray. Watch that you enter not into temptation. When He said pray we find in Mat- thew 6:9 -15 that He gave a commandment to pray and gave us an outline on how to pray but not these words exactly in our prayer. Also in Mathew 6:16 -18 He gave a commandment to fast. In verse 9 He said when you pray and in verse 16 He said when you fast. We won- der why we are not seeing a move of The Holy Spir- it when prayer and fasting have become like a spare tire in the trunk of our car. We only pull it out when needed, so it is with prayer and fasting. Want a move of God then follow what the Je- sus said in His Word. Pray for your country, our President and government, your local government, our soldiers and all Pastors. Re- member to pray for the sick and afflicted and those in the nursing homes and hos- pitals. Also pray about the elections. Be a friend to your neigh- bors, co-workers, any that you come into contact with. To have a friend you need to be a friend. Jesus said what you give out is what you will receive back. May you find peace and joy in your life this week. God's Servant and friend to Humanity.
