Rogers Early risers are invited to take will be held at 9:45 and there are} advantage of an early morning worship service each Sunday morn-, ing. The Church of the Rock is con- ducting regular services at the Islander Drive-in Theatre each Sunday morning beginning at 8:45 a.m. Sunday morning the Rev. Mr. Rogers will bring the message us- ing as his topic “Can any good come?” These are the tense words, used sneeringly by Nathaniel re- regarding the little town south and west of his own glorified town of Bethsaida. With fishing nets all about him and living in the stench of dead fish he failed to appreciate the invigorating and pure air of his neighbors over in Nazareth, Moreover the stimulating mes- sage of Jesus who hailed from Nazareth, the despised city of the hills, soon convinced him when he responded to Philip’s invitation to “come and see.” Our own pride and arrogance often blinds us to the| beauty and good in other places and people. At the eleven ¢’clock service in the Chapel, 535 Francis Street, Mr. Bones ae Bi on “Fasting a leansing.” Since our thoughts during Lent naturally turn to ‘pre- paration’ for things clean and high and holy, we attempt to adjust our thinking and behavior in accord with the will and plan of God. We can never know what God wishes of us unless we strip our- selves of all evil thoughts and de- sires which comes through cleans- ing and fasting, Unfortunately this same attitude does not, but should prevail not only during Lent but! throughout the year. | The Women of the Church are/ most appreciative of the splendid} support the public gave them in| their recent bake sale at which time Ve Treasurer reports a little more than one and twent; dollars.
