Sunday, Leonne brought us a message, "Encourage One Another"
from Romans 1:11,12. The Apostles Paul says that the ability to
encourage others is a spiritual gift. Even though Paul was a great
evangelist and missionary, he said that he was encouraged by the
individual Christians at Rome. An encourager is someone who
comes along beside you and encourages you.
Dixie Johnson shared with us an original poem, "The Day I Will
Never Forget."
Genie Martin sang a special, "God Bless the USA."
Our choir meets for practice each Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Dixie Johnson is having a wiener roast for her children's class
Saturday at 6 p.m. at her house south of Perkins. Other classes are
invited.
Our church had a part in the Old Settler's Harvest Fest last Sat-
urday. Our children's department had a float in the parade. Also, a
dinner was held at our church building in recognition of the visit
of Harding and Mary Lawrence and their family and friends, who
came for the parade. Our Faith in Action ladies prepared the din-
ner. The boys from the Lions Boys Ranch helped serve. The out-
of-town guests were complimentary about the dinner and the inte-
rior of the church building.
Another congregation of our community, Cimarron Christian
Brotherhood, is sponsoring a camp meeting at Oak Park Retreat
