Mother, cried Sally as she climbed into bed, you forgot my soul!
What do you mean, Sweetheart? asked her Mom. I dont understand. Well, when we said our prayers you didnt say, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. What if God forgets about my soul tonight? What will happen? It is difficult to watch television, listen to the radio, or read a paper or magazine without the ever present emphasis to lose weight, get in shape, have cosmetic surgery or try a new shampoo. We are constantly challenged to nourish our bodies more carefully, strengthen our muscles to become healthier or do something to look more appealing. The 2015 Christmas Musical Special for the Christmas Celebration Conglomeration has been announced by Ted Bown, Director, and the title is "Light Out of Darkness” created by Randy Vader, Jay Rouse, and Rose Aspinall.
The Christmas Conglomeration Celebration again will be sponsored by the Canton Area Ministerial Association. The anticipated 100-voice choral group also will be featuring possible soloists, duets, trios, and ensembles. A children’s choir (grades 1 to 6) will be added later in the rehearsal schedule.
What do we need to do to receive blessings from God?
Are they automatic? Do we have to be in the right place at the right time? Sit quietly and meditate? Think positive thoughts and pray for wealth without working? Is there something we can do? We would all have to agree that Gods blessings are not equally distributed nor given automatically as some would expect. In fact Psalm 41 begins with an insightful statement: Blessed is the person who has compassion for the poor or weak and does something about it. God cares for the weak and the poor and the oppressed and is delighted when we do something on their behalf. In fact, David says that those who show Gods compassion will be delivered when they are experiencing the difficulties of life. But there is more. On Sunday October 18th the Troy Baptist Church will be hosting a Soup and Sandwich Lunch to raise money for medical supplies for Shirley Forrest’s Mission trip to the Dominican Republic in January.
