Praise the Lord for another
wonderful day. We had 120 in the
first service and 100 in the second.
Several came forward for prayer
and rededication. Steve and Marie
Bunch brought their baby girl
forward in the second service for a
baby dedication. They have moved
to Claremore, but wanted to come
home with family and friends for
this special occasion in their lives.
The roof on the north side of
the fellowship hall looks beautiful.
About 21 men and women came out
to the church Saturday and we got
some work done.
We tore off the existing wood
shake shingles on the fellowship
hall and then decked the new
portion plus the old .and then
shingled it back. Next will come
the south side. Praise the Lord for
willing workers.
The kids are getting settled into
the routine of school. Sarah is now
in high school (can you believe
it?) and enjoying the challenges it
presents. She is a beautiful young

Matthew is a big 12-year-old

Cushing Youth Center program. He
sure likes the games, but he doesn't
care much for practice.
Isn't that the way with most d
us? We want to be involved wlum it
counts, but we do not care for the
preparation it takes to be ready.

Our Rebekah is 5 now and she is
in half day kindergarten. She comes
with LeeAnn to the Bible study and
then she is off to school. She didn't
want to go school the first day, and
now she wants to go every day.
And the baby? She is doing
wonderfully well. The Lord is so
good and worthy to be praised.

moral teacher.
The popular view in Jesns's days
and this day are wrong. The truth
is Jesus Christ is the son of God.
The question we must all answer is,
"who do you say Jesus is?" You will
never discover who Jesus is, never
understand your life and why you
are until you understand who he is.
The evening service text was
Mathew 7:15 and entitled =False
Teachers." What was true in the
old testament is still true today, and
most people don't want to know
the truth. Many time truth does not
make us feel good.
Watch out for false prophets. A
true prophet will speak God's word
regardless. False prophets are not
just wrong, they are dangerous.
They do not pose as enemies and
show their true colors by what they
do.
Remember we are here to serve
God, sincerity is not a ticket to
heaven. Stay close to Jesus, it is
safe, he on guard for false prophets.

Hope. Come and bring as friend.
Remember each day we make
decisions, some good and some
are not so good, but the biggest
and most important decision you
will make is whether you live with
an empty whole inside you o
fill it with Jesus and eternal life.
