Ohio The evening service was a series of inspirational messages done in music and song Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden and 1 will give vou rest 11:28 How often our plans go awrv and all our efforts seem futile' Frustration ernes and we hardlv know here to turn it nice that our heavenly Father wants us to come to Hint? He always welcomes us former things have passed Furthermore through Revelation Christ promises us I am coming But how soon is soon? For almost 2 OX) years Christians have been predicting that the Second Coming was right around the corner But here we are in the year of 1982 and "1 am coming cannot mean what some of Christ's followers thought it meant Do these words still hav something to sav -0 us? I must confess that I have trouble with much of the Book of Revelation visions confuse me in the same manner that my dreams confuse me sometimes The pictures are fleeting everchanging and the symbolism could mean many things Yet tike my dreams the visions of John can convey a message even if 1 understand the complex pictures themselves COME LORD JESl 5 I really do not have to know the location of the "new heaven" and "new earth" I do not have to understand the symbolism of the timetable for the fulfillment of God's plan 1 do not have to recognize all the beasts and figures in or any All of these details are like tree1- a vast forest and 1 must not miss the forest for the trees I do not know when how or where all these things shall come to pass but 1 can continue to hold fast to my discipleship in Christ in a darkened world convinced that the world is still in God's hands and will eventually become what he created it to be soon" may mean tomorrow or millennia from now It matters not so long as 1 know Who is coming and what He means tome Background Scripture: Revelation 2 1 through 22 Devotional Reading: Matthew There is a sobering warning at the end of Re elation (22:18 19) that no oneshouldmiss: I want everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book if anyone adds to them God will add to him the plagues described in this book and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city which are described in this book It is a warning not only to those who would literally take away or add words but those who would use words to make the prophecy sav something that John's angel did not intend ALL THINGS NEW But that leaves us with a tremendous problem doesn't it? For the Book of Revelation is the most difficult to understand of all the books of the Bible It literally begs us for interpretation What is meant by the vision of "a new heaven and a new Where shall we find the Jerusalem? Here on earth or in heaven? And where is it that will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any and when will "the St Catholic Beautiful flowers from the garden of Mrmrs George Ellis have decorated our altar these past several weeks They are appreciated and enjoyed Wednesday evening Mrmrs Alex Martel presented the gifts to the altar at the 5:30 pm service May 20 was the Feast of the Ascension Mrs Dorothy Ellis and Venita Chin brought the gifts to the Altar The homily concerned the fact that after Our ascension into heaven we must carry on His good works and lead our lives for Him The Saturday 5:30 pm Mass was offered Father Joseph Starmann was the celebrant and Mrmrs Ed Buckler from Springfield assisted Roberta Preseren was the commentator and Mike Preseren read the scriptures The homily reflected on the transformation of the apostles after they received the Holy Spirit The host and wine were brought to the altar by Mrs Emma McNichols and Mrs Lorreine Brand The Sunday 9 am Mass was offered for Richard Brown Father Thomas McGrath chaplain of Still Hospital in Jefferson City will be with us for the 5:30 pm Mass next weekend Monday May 24 an MDI session held a meeting at Our Lady of the Lake at Lake Ozark at 7 pm Those who attended the Fall and February sessions were asked to return Richard Yarshen will be ordained to the Permanent Diaconate Saturday May 29 at St Cathedral in Jefferson City at 2 pm Transportation will be provided for those who need it The first annual Parish Appreciation Dinner will follow the 5 pm Mass Sunday May 30 Mr Yarshen will diaconate at the Mass for the first time that evening Hermitage United Methodist The organ prelude "Come With Rejoicing" set the mood for the worship service at 11 am with Rev Franklyn Taylor in the pulpit Shannon Lightfoot and Tanya Thomas were candlelighters Floyd Davis and Winston Kerrick ushered Seventy were present Mrs Taylor assisted her husband in the pulpit as did Joylyn and Neal in presenting the order of service and a discussion on "Love of the theme and sermon topic Scriptures were Deut 5:16 Eph and the text Matt 22:39 The choir sang "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" Serena Rachel Taylor attended for the first time with Neal and Becky A delicate rose in a vase was a gift to her from the family Floral arrangements of peonies roses and pansies were shared by members Congratulations were extended to Kenneth Duly church treasurer who was chosen of the Year by the local Lions Club Tom A and Ruby Wiley Overland Park Ks were guest worshipers Mrs Loren Gibs was here on a visit and came with Mrs Virgil Maxev Shannon Lightfoot attended with her grandmother Rebecca Dorman Edna Davis was able to be back again In Sunday school the lesson the Righteous was based on Rev 19 Twenty-eight came for the hour The birthday song was sung to Sabrina Thomas who was 3 Many from the congregation attended the fellowship supper and enjoved the film Rolltop Desk as produced by the Mo Dept of Conservation Gaimey Interdenominational Sunday school attendance 66 morning worship 126 evening worship 54 The call to worship Just Praise the Lord" Brother Don led the opening prayer We welcomed visitors from Des Moines Iowa Chicago III and Adrian Martin City and Springfield Mo We enjoyed a trio singing To Be Like Thee" by Shirley De Monbrun Monett Alexander and Beulah DeMonbrun Pastor message was taken from Romans The evening worship service opened by congregation singing "Rejoice Evermore" Betty Dawson offered the opening prayer Pastor message was or scripture taken from Mark Glenn Colson closed with prayer The church fellowship weiner roast will be at 6 o'clock Friday night The 5th Sunday night hymn sing will be at 6:45 Fruit salad will be served afterwards.
