Agra Baptist Church News
By Lois Sumrall
When asked "how was your Christmas," many people answer too
much to eat, sure be glad when school starts, spent too much money¢
didn't get what I wanted," etc. Very few answer we had a wonderful
time. The family all got together, we shared with others less fortu-
nate, went to church, shared Jesus' birth, heard from friends and
family that don't keep in touch often, or we did several things that
included our kids and all enjoyed ourselves.
When we really remember Jesus' birth is the reason to celebrate,
we can enjoy the holiday so much more.
Bro. Jim Reed's message was from Psalm 123 titled "Confidence
Builders." How often we build confidence on looks, money, power or
jobs, all of which we can lose. The only true confidence comes from
God (1) the eternal plan God has for everyone, how much easier it is
to face everything or everyone with confidence in the Lord Jesus
Christ; (2) to trust God to take care of all things for us. Where God
guides, He will provide. (3) We need to make everything a matter of
prayer. Nothing is too small or too big to turn over to God in prayer.
If we were not important to God, why did He send His only Son to die
for us?
Pat Gilliver was telling in Children's Church about one child that
starts her day by upon awakening wiggles her toes to kick the Devil
out of bed, puts on the full armor of God, then asks God's guidance
throughout the day. That is a simple enough way to start the day.
We all could follow this example and have confidence in everything
we do each day.
The Lord's Supper was observed during the evening services.
We will have Bible study at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. On next
Sunday following Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Worship services at 11
a.m., a covered dish dinner will be held in fellowship hall.
May your New Year be built with God's love and guidance.
First Baptist Church

Our pastor, Albert May, was on vacation and we had a speaker from
S[illwater, Tracy Morgan, Attorney, member of First Baptist Church,
and has been an Associate Pastor of Emanuel Baptist Church in
Shawnee and several churches in Texas. Tracy's brother, Mike Mor-
gan, was in the audience so we were doubly honored.
During the offertory, I heard the most beautiful music and I checked
it out and it was Michael Brown and his mother, Carlleeta, playing
Joy to the World. Michael plays the FrenchHorn and we thank him
for his gift to us.
Terrisa Elwood's solo was entitled "God Forbid" (that I should speak
of You without reverence). She has been blessed with a lovely and
powerful voice and we thank her, also.
Tracy Morgan gave us a good message urging us as a church to not

Christian Church of Perkins
Sam White, Minister
The Christian Church of Perkins invites everyone to worship
day as our minister, Sam White, begins a new series
Life and Preaching of Paul." This Sunday we will see
the gospel made in Saul's life and the change it should mak,,e
This past Sunday, we looked at the "Parable of the Sower
thew 13. Jesus speaks of the word of God being planted like
in a field and four different types of soil are described: hard
rocky, thorny, and good. Jesus tells us that the four
four different human hearts. Some hearts hear the word
nothing happens; it's because they are so hard the
cannot take root. Some hearts, then, are like rocky soil; the

sage withers and dies.
Some hearts are like soil with thorns, Jesus says. They h
pel, it takes root and grows quite well--sometimes even for
then stops producing fruit because the person is more
money or worldly worries than with God. Finally,
is like good soil; the gospel is planted and firmly takes root,
to be spread to more and more people.
What, then, if you're a Christian but you have a good
heart you are afraid is a "rocky path?" Cultivate. The
