WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

A Call to Intercessory Prayer
For many reasons, 2008 is a crucial year—a year of challenges and, of course, a year of decisions. We face a difficult economy, a morally deficient society, and an uncertain future. In November we elect a new President and Vice President, along with thousands of leaders nationwide.
Between now and Election Day, thousands of churches will be interceding for our country. Through this historic initiative called Praying4America, congregations from coast to coast will experience the power of intensive, purposeful prayer. The goal of this initiative is clear: A Nation Awakened, Churches Renewed, Lives Transformed. America will feel the impact as God’s people seize this opportunity.
Praying4America is based on a simple plan: 30 days of focused intercession for every key area of American life. Participants in each church will pray for a few minutes every day for that day’s specific requests. By the end of the 30 days, they will have prayed across America. And, in the process, their own lives will be enriched, the church will be energized, and communities throughout the nation will be spiritually stirred.
Praying4America is unique because it doesn’t interfere with other church activities. In fact, it complements all other activities as it deepens the devotional life of the church. We will begin on October 4 and conclude just before Election Day.
Strategic, focused, purposeful prayer makes such an impact! The spiritual health of our country is at stake, and prayer can make the difference! Please join in with your prayers.
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer IS the greater work. –Oswald Chambers-
Whenever you come to a request for a specific state or territory in the daily list, remember these priorities:
• Pray for the leaders of the state, that God’s Spirit would guide them to act justly, serve with integrity and uphold high moral standards.
• Pray for the churches of the state, that they would be lighthouses of truth, havens of hope, and centers of love for all people.
• Pray for the Christians of the state, that they would be faithful witnesses for Christ, humble servants of God, and positive influences on society.
Oct. 4 - 1. Pray for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit on America. (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17) 2. Pray for the President and Vice President, that their hearts would be guided by God, that their decisions would be wise, and that their leadership would be principled.
Oct. 5 – 1. Pray for the leaders, churches and Christians of Alabama and Alaska. 2. Pray for Christian leaders across America would seek God’s heart for vision, wisdom and direction. (Jer. 33:3)
Be sure to check the bulletin each week for the next prayer list.

It’s not too late to join the choir. We have ongoing open enrollment.
Shiloh Baptist Church is preparing to open a shelter to house homeless people. They need volunteers to help keep it open. The volunteers would be needed for 3 – 6 hours per week. I can guarantee there is a need for such a place. I deal with homeless people quite often through Women of Witness. Please consider helping out with this if you have some free time. The shelter will open on October 5 so please call soon. You can call 622-3632 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. I believe she said her name is Brooke but not sure on that.
Directory Correction with Apologies: Please look at the list of children in Sandy Brown’s entry and change Trevor to Trenten. She never has had a grandchild by the name of Trevor and no matter how many times I say it, it won’t change Trenten’s name. SORRY SIS. SANDY!!!

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own! ,
But I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY
PLEASE!!! There are items that were left here from VBS on the table by the water fountain. After today these items will go to the trash man, so if your child has something they want for a memento please see that it is taken. Thank you.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.

Some have gone to a small private school and the rest will be taken to the Save-n-Serve shop in Millersburg. You are invited to take anything you would like. There are boxes available if you need one. One note of caution though. These books are secular and have nothing to do with Christianity. They are simply children’s storybooks. Help yourself
