Guitar Lessons: Thursday, 6:00pm, here at the church. If you can’t make it, please have the courtesy to let Tony know.
Bake Sale/Car Wash: Our Youth Group is having a car wash & bake sale at Auto Zone on June 9th from 7:30 – 3:30. All hands welcomed. Contact Teresa or Ernie about scheduling a time. Any baked goods would be appreciated.
Mark Your Calendar: Our Lake Park Fellowship will take place on Father’s Day this year. More info will come later but wanted to give you a head’s up
The Passion of Christ: On May 30 we will be showing the movie during our Wednesday night service as wrap up of our Way of the Master Seminar. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come watch it – even if you didn’t participate in the seminar. The movie will start at 6pm. If you know of someone who would like to see it, bring them along. The children’s classes will proceed as usual. It is up to the parent whether your child sees it but you need to know it is rated R and quite shocking to the viewer.
Clothing: There are clothes free for the taking hanging on the coat racks at both doors and some more downstairs sorted by size on the tables. Please help yourself. There are also hangers downstairs in boxes under the tables. Take anything you can use. These are mostly women’s clothes but there are a few men’s shirts behind the sanctuary door on the Walnut Street entrance side.
Memorial Day: Originally called Decoration Day. It’s a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. A day for us to remember and honor the gallant souls who laid down their lives in the service of our great nation. It's become a day when families and friends get together and enjoy one another. It probably evolved to this place when the death of a loved one made folks realize they needed to enjoy the company of each other while they could. There will be no evening service next Sunday night in honor of the holiday as it was and as it is. Spend some time with your family and friends.
The Way of the Master: This coming Saturday, May 26, we will be going to Lake Park to pass out tracts and witness as the opportunity arises. We will meet at the church between 10am and 10:30am. We will leave promptly at 10:30. All class members are expected to come. You are welcome to join us even if you haven’t attended the classes.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued By J. Richard Fugate
Children Must Obey Both Their Father and Mother
The
boundary for parental authority is more extensive
than that of any other institution. This is true
because the parents’ right to rule includes the
power to force obedience to their will in all things.
No other institution is given this much power. The
subjects of other institutions are to submit to their
authorities, but the child is commanded to obey his
parents. The basic difference between the Greek words
translated “submit” and
“obey” is that submission appeals to the
attitude of voluntary acceptance of authority,
whereas obedience is compliance with the authority
whether the subject wills to or not. Parents not only
have the right to rule in all things, they also have
the power to enforce their child’s unwilling
compliance to their commands.
Parental
authority delegates to parents the right to rule the
children under their control. No other institution or
person has rulership rights over children. Neither
society, school personnel, nosey individuals, nor
even other institutions have any authority over
children. The parents’ power over their
children is accountable to government only through
God’s laws concerning incest, injury, and
murder. Parents are directly responsible to God for
any misuse of their authority. There is no such thing
as “child rights” sanctioned by the Word
of God. The child has only the God-given right to be
raised by his parents without the intervention of any
other institution.
