WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED
For those who are unaware, at a military theater, the National Anthem is played before every movie.
From a Chaplain in Iraq :
I recently attended a showing of 'Superman 3,' here at LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorium we use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As is the custom back in the States, we stood and snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the way through The National Anthem the music stopped.
Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments; and everyone would sit down and call for a movie. Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first place. Here, the 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again. The Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. And again, at the same point, the music stopped. What would you expect to happen?
Even here I would imagine laughter, as everyone finally sat down and expected the movie to start. But here, you could have heard a pin drop. Every Soldier continued to stand at attention. Suddenly there was a lone voice, then a dozen, and quickly the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off: 'And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.'
It was the most inspiring moment I have had here in Iraq . I wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you here.
Remember them as they fight for you!
Be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad. For many have already paid the ultimate price.

Prayer Meeting: Thursday from 6pm to 8pm. Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
Auction: There will be an auction of baked goods and/or casserole dishes right after service today to help fund a trip to Kentucky for the kids. The auction will take place in the lobby. PLEASE plan to support this event! Our (yes I said OUR) kids need our support.
Volunteers needed: If you are interested in passing out handbills for the revival, you must see Pastor first.
Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. I Chronicles 16:33
America the beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see. Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain
From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray We've kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown. When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne. We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges; who throw reason out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb. You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum? How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes? How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot hide? What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray; Seek His holy face and mend our evil way: Then God will hear from Heaven; and forgive us of our sins, He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within. But, America the Beautiful, If you don't - then you will see, A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee.

Some Things God Won’t Ask On That Day
God won’t ask what kind of car you drove. He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.
God won’t ask the square footage of your house. He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
God won’t ask you about the clothes you had in your closet. He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
God won’t ask what your highest salary was. He’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
God won’t ask what your job title was. He’ll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
God won’t ask how many friends you had. He’ll ask how many people to whom you were friends.
God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived. He’ll ask how you treated your neighbor.
God won’t ask about the color of your skin. He’ll ask about the content of your character.
God won’t ask why it took so long to seek Salvation. He’ll lovingly take you to your mansion in Heaven and not to the gates of Hell.

FYI:Tic Removal Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and let it stay on the repulsive insect for a few seconds (15-20), after which the tick will come out on it's own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
SOME FATHERLY ADVICE
Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. Proverbs 4:1
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:21
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
Hebrews 12:7
The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; fathers tell their children about your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:19
Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 1 Peter 1:17
OUR FATHER
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
Psalm 68:5
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; Psalm 103:13
Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:8
Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!
Hebrews 12:9
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:15,16

THE LORD'S BASEBALL GAME
Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord's team was playing Satan's team. The Lord's team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter named 'Love' stepped up to the plate. Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because 'Love never fails.' The next batter was named ‘Faith’, who also got a single because Faith works with Love. The next batter up was named ‘Godly Wisdom’. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch. Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws. The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to the plate stepped ‘Grace’. Freddy said, 'He sure doesn't look like much!' Satan's whole team relaxed when they saw Grace. Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen! But Satan was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by. He went up for the ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him crashing on the ground; the roaring crowds went wild as the ball continued over the fence! The Lord's team won! The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn't win the game. Freddy answered that he didn't know why. The Lord explained, 'If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you would think you had done it by yourself. Love, Faith and Wisdom will get you on base but only My Grace can get you Home:
'For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.' Ephesians 2:8-9
Psalm 84:11, 'For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.'

revival on the courthouse lawn will be July 23
through the 25th.
Please begin to pray for souls.
Prayer Requests:
Women’s Bible Study: Tonight at 6:00.
No Music Practice On Wednesday: Will contact you about the new day and time.
Mark Your Calendar: We will once again have our annual Lake Park Fellowship on Father’s Day. There will be a wiffle ball game between the men and the kids.
There will be an all night prayer meeting this Friday, June 6. From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Coshocton has plenty of people willing to stay up all night and walk for cancer, so there ought to be Christians willing to stay up praying for revival. Please sign up if you are planning to join this prayer meeting.
American Red Cross Information. June 17th. It will be at the Civic Center from noon to 6. There will be a meeting on Monday night, the 16th for the volunteers to clean vegetables and such. Look in next week’s bulletin for specifics.
Women of Faith Conference: The Women’s Bible Study ladies are going to Cleveland to attend the conference on July 18& 19. We still have some extra tickets for $50 each. This price covers lunch on Saturday. We would love to have you join us. See Robin.
Bible-On-Display: Cona Thorpe-Brown and Arminta Coakley have completed their end of the year Bible-on-Displays, located in the lobby area. Please take time to check them out with your child. It really helps bring the Bible alive!

Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.

How did this get started?...
Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools. And we said, OK...
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school, because Bible that says ‘Thou shalt Not kill,
Thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors as yourself,' And we said, OK...
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. And we said an expert should know what he's talking about. So we won't spank them anymore...
Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. And we accepted their reasoning...
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex... And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes.. And we said, it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.
Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with... 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,'

In New Jersey, East Brunswick High School officials told football coach Marcus Borden he cannot kneel and bow his head while members of his team have a student-led pre-game prayer.
In Wisconsin’s Tomah Area School District, a teacher refused to give a student identified only as A.T. a grade on an art project because his work included "John 3:16" as well as "A sign of love." However, Buddha, Hindu and sorcerers are considered “approved” forms of art by the school.
In Mt. Vernon, Ohio, school leaders told teacher John Freshwater he must put his Bible out of sight when students are in his room. Mr. Freshwater has refused to do so. He has had a Bible on his desk for the past 18 years.
