Here and There
by Wes Price

Next Saturday will be a big day for members of the Jefferson Boulevard Church. We will begin the day with a delicious breakfast in our Fellowship Hall which includes eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, hot coffee and orange juice. This will provide the fuel for a work session to follow. We need both men and women and you will have your choice of work assignments, some inside, some outside. If you are aware of some special project that you think needs attention and it takes special tools to do it, bring them with you including hedge trimmers.
We will conclude sharpy at 12:00 noon so we can go home and cleanup to make our trip to say Happy Birthday to a very special lady, Henrietta Pummill. Our church bus is already full, so we need some others of you to join us in making your car or van available to make the trip. We should be back to our building sometime around four o’clock.

Vernon Percival gave us a challenging lesson on the parable of the Ten Virgins this past Wednesday evening and Ben Perkins will be our teacher this coming Wednesday. His lesson will be on the parable of The Friend at Midnight and The Persistent Widow, found in Luke 11:5-13 and 18:1-8. Read up on them and see how much better Ben does by your own personal study.

Sunday morning, June 8, Mack Lyon’s lesson will be on The Resurrection of Christ. Belief in the resurrection of Christ is an absolute essential to the salvation of the sinner. Yet we hear very little preaching about it. It is treated as a non-essential. This message is about the power such faith had in the lives of the early Christians.
Join brother Mack at 7:00 a.m. on Channel 27, KDFI-TV.

The Men’s Tuesday Bible Class enjoyed preparing and serving lunch for the Ladies’ Class on the final day of classes. A big round of applause to the men who helped me cook and serve. From all accounts, the ladies were well pleased with the effort, not to mention the delicious food. Thanks, Guys!

Reflections
by Jack Armstrong

I tell you it does my heart good to hear what we heard Sunday evening May 18. We heard one of the finest, down to earth, straight from the “Good Book” sermons from a fine young man in his weaning days of school at the Brown Trail School of Preaching, Bro. & Sis. R.C. & Juanita Bell’s grandson, Robert Guinn. He puts me in mind of a couple of other fine young preachers we know named Karl and Joe.
Have you noticed that every now and then we have an article in our Visitor by another fine preacher of God’s Word, brother John Gipson of the Windsong Church of Christ. If you skipped over it go back and check it out, it is a wonderful lesson from Genesis explaining what God meant when he said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them Genesis 1:26-27.
In our Visitor on 5/18/08 it was mentioned that Sunday, June 29, after worship, we will celebrate 45 years of service to the church by our own beloved preacher and also to celebrate his birthday which is July 1st. Cloyce and Kay Jurecka you wanted me to let you know, so here it is. I’m not supposed to do it, but I just have to say, it couldn’t happen to a finer guy. See there I didn’t even mention your name W.P.!
We are celebrating the birthday of one of the sweetest ladies I know on June 7, and that lady is sister Henrietta Pummill, the sister of brother Paul Lawrence. She has certainly been missed since she and Sue Lawrence moved away from us a good while back. We miss you too, Sue!
Oleta and I are celebrating our 13th year today 5/19/08 and I just can’t believe time has passed so fast, but you know what they say”.. Time really passes by when you’re having fun.” Thank all of you for your wonderful cards, we love you and Oleta thanks you for your concern regarding her illness.
Arline Swanson, Evelyn Dillon, and Jimmy Mooney we sure do miss you and hope and pray you are back with us soon! Of course we miss all of our ill and shut-ins, but those are having special problems at this time, and need our special prayers and attention.
We haven’t heard from some of our folks who have moved away so how about dropping us a line and let us know how you are doing.
Well folks guess I’d best leave some room for the “Ed”, and it’s been great visiting with you! See you next time the Good Lord willing.
Remember…
