This week, PAWS is featuring a glamorous lit- tle gal named Lily, a fun- loving, spirited pup who loves human companion- ship and attention. She likely has some Maltese heritage, comes from haughty nobility, is affec- tionate, playful and would love to be a lap dog. She weighs in at about 6 lbs., has a silky coat of white fur, is spayed, has all her shots and is waiting for a family to call her own. To adopt Lily, call 812- 354-9894.

Independent Catholic Christian ARTHUR G.B. CHURCH 5670 S. St. Rd. 61 Winslow 812-582-0354 Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship and chil- dren's church 10 :30 a.m.; Sunday evening Bible study at 6 p.m. Business meeting third Sunday of each month, following morning worship. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be bur- dened again by a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1, NIV ). When we give our lives to Christ, he forgives our sins and remembers them no more and we are free, indeed. Why, then, do we feel guilt from our past lives, sins? We can also turn our past guilt over to the Lord. We do not have to let our- selves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. How can we be any more free than that? A new group for the la- dies has started in our church called the Joy group ( Just Older Youth). We meet the second Mon- day of each month at 10 a.m. and do various activ- ities. You are welcome to join us for a lot of fun. We are grateful to be back in the sanctuary af- ter water damage caused by a leak. We invite you to our ser- vices.

CHURCH Corner of Center and Sycamore Sunday school 9:30 a.m.; morning worship 10 :30 a.m.; Wednesday Bible study at 6:30 p.m. All that we are, all that we've been given, and ev- ery opportunity that comes our way is God working in our lives and in the world we live in. The appropriate way to respond to this is to submit to God—to cast our "crowns" before His throne and give Him the honor and praise He deserves. "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were cre- ated and have their being" (Revelation 4:11). Remember those on our prayer list, the shut-ins and our lost loved ones. Ken Reeder, Pastor Karri Brock, Reporter GR ACE G.B. CHURCH 1007 E. Union St. Winslow No Sunday school.

PISGAH G.B. CHURCH (Augusta) Broadway Street Winslow Pastor 812-582-0756 Sunday morning worship at 10 :15 a.m., children's Sun- day school during morning service; Celebrate Recov- ery Sunday evening from 5 -7 p.m. at The Gathering Place in Winslow; Wednes- day night Bible study and family devotions at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is asked to bring a snack or finger food for fel- lowship, after the study. "Where your treasure is there your heart will be al- so" (Matthew 6:23). One of the hardest truths for some people to accept is that there is absolutely noth- ing they can do to win their salvation. No matter how generous how honest; how compassionate they are— it's never enough. God is ho- ly and his standard is perfec- tion. If we think we are good enough, it simply proves our pride. Only when we see our- selves as God sees us—sin- ners, guilty before Him— will we realize our need of a Savior. The first link be- tween my soul and Christ is not my goodness, but my badness, our merits, but our misery, not our riches, but our need. If at any time you have no church to attend, feel free to join us for services. Your presence will be deeply ap- preciated and I am sure you will enjoy the blessings of God.
