The Christian Church of Perkins
Sam White, Minister
Everyone is invited to worship this Sunday at the Christian
Church of Perkins as our minister, Sam White, preaches from Mat-
thew 6 on "The Lord's Prayer." Come be challenged to make your
prayer life all it can be.
This Sunday will also be Sam's last Sunday with us as he is
moving to Colorado Springs to become the director of the Rocky
Mountain Christian Mission in Colorado Springs. A farewell lun-
cheon will take place immediately following morning worship.
This past Sunday, we were excited to welcome Phil and Sarah
Schmidt to worship, as well as Lauren and Amanda Bostian. We
also had a successful picnic, with 27 people in attendance. Thanks
to Randy Perry for cooking the burgers and to Leo Whitmore for
bringing a working grill.
Sam's sermon this past Sunday was on prayer. The Bible speaks
of prayer more than three hundred times, so it must be an impor-
tant subject. But for all the things the Bible tells us about prayer,
it doesn't tell us a couple things we might like to know. It doesn't
tell us how long prayer should be, for one thing. Or does it? Paul
says we should "pray continually."
The problem may be that we are looking for a manual for prayer
that will give us every single step, like a car repair book. But the
point of praying is not that we become better prayers (though it is
certainly a benefit we will reap); the point of prayer is that we grow
closer to God.
Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m., followed by Morning Wor-
ship at 10:45. The Lord's SUpl)er is offered each week during the
Merning Worship to all believers.
Perkins Church of Christ
By Terry Tharp, Minister
As the old saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun." I
would have to agree, it's true. Last Sunday morning after services,
the church had a potluck celebration for my family and me. It was
for our two year anniversary with the Perkins' Church of Christ.
I can hardly believe how fast time has gone by. I feel blessed to
work with such a wonderful group people, and to live in a great
community. We have made great friends and are looking forward
to many more years of service in Perkins.
As always, you are invited to come and worship with us. Bible
classes for all ages begin at 9 g.m. Sunday morning; Worship ser-
vice is at 10 a.m.; Sunday evening services at 6 p.m.; Wednesday
evening devotion and study at 7 p.m. We are located at 1200 N.
Lovers Lane, our phone is 547-5393.
Mehan Union Church
By Elba Vassar
Larry Eslinger, pastor of Mehan Union Church, said, "Every-
one is welcome here." He said, "there are all kinds of Christians in
our church. The church is filled with 'good Christians' every Sun-
day for morning worship services."
Sunday School starts at 9:45 a.m. Morning Worship begins at
10:45.
ix
Eslinger teases, "We also have 'really dedicated Christians' who
come back to church on Sunday evenings, and we really appreciate
them."
Youth fellowship and Bible studies and the Adult choir starts
at 6 p.m. The regular Sunday evening service follows at 7 p.m.
The pastor pointed out that there were also some who might
be called "really radical" who come back to church again for mid-
week services. Adult and youth bible stuclies are held each Wednes-
day evening at 7. He is especially proud of these members, but he
loves all kinds of Christians, and everyorLe.is welcome anytime.
Elsinger and the members of the church issue and invitation
to anyone looking for a church home to worship with them in Me-
han where their motto is: ' he church where Jesus is Lord."

a friend such ms "Dorothy Breeden" or maybe she's your fried, too.
We started out as hairdresser-customer. We reviewed the world,
our lives, and explored our positions. We discussed wars, tragedies,
civil rights and elections. We became confidants, confessors, thera-
pists, and companions in a way. We discussed, argued and joked--
but always with a certain thoughtful deference. After all, I was her
customer and she was standing there with a razor or scissors in
her hand.
Some of our children are almost the same age. We went through
the pangs of parenthood together. We shared wife stories, children
stories, car trouble, lawn problems. In that many years, you dis-
cover many things about another person--that she is always taking
care of older persons, picking them up and delivering them some-
where--buying children gifts at Christmas that might not have had
gifts. Fixing the hair of shut-ins and deceased friends. She's a
fantastic lady--doing many more favors that I know about or could
enumerate.
We don't visit each other's homes--not time, necessary or con-
venient, I guess--yet she has become a very important part of my
life--perhaps more than if we were next door neighbors. The qual-
ity of our friendship was partly created by a peculiar distance. With-
out realizing it, we fill important places in each other's lives. The
way persons in our lives do--ministers, grocer, mechanics, doctors,
teachers, neighbors, co-workers. Good people who are always there-
-who can be relied upon in important ways. People who teach us,
bless us, encourage us, support us, uplift us in our daliness t)f life.
Do we tell them enough how much they mean to us?
And of course, perhaps we play similar roles--there are those
who depend on us, watch us, learn from us--and we never know.
Each of you may never be told of your importance but you are more
important than you think. I want to tell Dorothy how much she
means to me. I appreciate you, dear friend. Thank you for your
friendship.

mmm, good! Or if using flour, melt 2 T. oleo (or butter) in sauce
pan; add 2 T. flour, 1 tsp. salt, 2 cups milk, stirring constantly until
thickened. (Add a small amount of sugar, if desired.) I use this for
scalloped potatoes. After sauce thickens, mix in 6 cups partially
cooked (not done) potatoes. Stir together buttered or Pare sprayed
