Immanuel Baptist Church
By Claudia Andrews
The patriotic service began with the 91 worshippers pledg-
ing allegiance to the United States Flag and the Christian
Flag. "The Holy Highway" from Matthew 7:13-14 was the
sermon brought by guest preacher Brother Eric Chaffin. This
scripture reveals there is a decision to face, a direction to
follow, and a destiny to find. Brother Chaffin is the chaplain
for the arena football team Yard Dogs and founder ofthe "3:
14 Ministries." Rita and Gale Cavanaugh voiced the hymn
"America the Beautiful" just before the message. Three
young people came for baptism.
Vacation Bible School workers recognized and
thanked. The first VBS at Immanuel Baptist was a great
time of Bible lessons and activity with 52 participating, 23
were children enrolled, and three children made decisions
for Christ.
Brother Chaffin brought the evening message from II Kings
20: 1-11 titled "Roadmap for a Fresh Start." He reminded us
to dream a dream, plan a plan, prepare for problems, report
for responsibility, and work the work. If every member were
just like me, what kind of church would my church be?
Preparations are being made for Falls Creek youth camp.
Youth completing the sixth through twelfth grade are eligible
to come with us. Camper sign up deadline is July 14. Contact
the church at 547-1222 for information.
Immanuel Baptist Church will meet at the 135 S. Main
for Sunday school and the Lion's Den for worship on July
11 and July 18. Wednesday, July 14, Bible study and prayer
and youth and children's classes will meet at 135 S. Main.
Please come and worship with us?

was from Psalm 33:12-20. Verse 12 begins "Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord " When this nation's fore-
fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, 53 of the 63
were Christians. A group collected over 15,000 writings of
these men and found 94% were based on the Bible and 34%
were direct quotes from the Bible. Today the Bible, prayer,
Ten Commandments, have been removed from our schools.
Years ago we began a school day with the pledge of alle-
giance, we sang "America the Beautiful," read a Bible verse
and prayed. Today they want to remove "under God" from
the pledge and very few of us are doing anything about it. As
Christians we need to stand up for what is right. When we
don't, it makes God very sad and Satan very happy. Psalm
11:3, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can
the righteous do." What will each of us do for America today
and every day?
For special music, a tape of John Wayne's "America and
Why I Love Her" was played and Sandy Powell sang "Let-
ters From War."
Lakeview Community Church-Stillwater
Does a fresh start sound good to you? Have you ever
wanted a clean slate? Fresh starts don't begin with a change
of circumstances; they begin with a change of heart. At
Lakeview Community Church we focus on helping people
have a fresh start.
Sunday worship services are at 9:15 and 11 a.m Prom-
iseland is available for both Sunday morning services and
Wednesday night for infants thru age five. Our children's
ministry called Kids Unlimited is available at the 11 a.m.
Sunday service for ages 6 thru grade 6.
Wednesday night service starts at 7 p.m. While the adults
are in church there is a great children's program that also
involves fishing (on site at our lake) with two great guys and
their helpers "Festus & Mr. Joey." A great way for kids to
learn about God and have fun fishing.
The 20/20 Youth also meet at our Lake House (on site) every
Wednesday night for a youth service geared for teens.
Join us for any of these three services and discover the
difference Lakeview can make in your life. We are located
at 1718 W. Lakeview, 1/2 mile west of Boomer Lake on
Lakeview. God specializes in fresh starts and nothing feels
better than a fresh start.
