TOO MUCH'HOUDffirSPMTCAN BE % DEADLY Sharing Good News Our Corner By DOROTHY FILLINGAME Rev. Jay Price, pastor of West Vanceboro Church of God, and his wife Ann, are attending the Church of God camp meeting in Chariotte, N.C. this week. Their daughter, Nancy, is visiting her grandparents at their home near Asheville, N.C. * * * * A thief or thieves broke into the church the iatter part of iast week. They forced up a piastic glass panel by the entrance door at the back of the church. The cymbal off the drum set and the drum sticks were taken. Someone must love music very much to break into the Lord's House of Prayer and take what beiongs to Him. The Ladies’ Auxiiiary gave Cheryi Hinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Fornes of Vanceboro, a baby shower at the Fornes’ home last Monday night. She received many usefui gifts. Vacation Bible School By DOROTHY FILLINGAME Jesus said, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." Jesus Christ, the Son of God came to this world and was the light of the worid. While he was here walking among men, he taught the way of saivation and performed countless miracles. In fact St. John said that there were so many things Jesus did, other than what has ever been recorded in the Gospels, that if they were written down, that the worid itseif could not contain the books that should be written. As each individuai becomes a Christian, saved under the cieansing biood of our Lord Jesus Christ, he then becomes a light in the world. Why? Because Jesus has entered and dwells in the inner man. Darkness has been cast out and ali the evil that accompanied darkness. Jesus said for his followers to let their light so shine before men, that they may see our good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven. Every Christian is a iight and has a job to do in the church of Jesus Christ. The cioser we walk with God, the brighter our light glows. When we begin to drift away from God, our light begins to grow dim, then it.wiii go out completely. Why? Because we have allowed darkness to creep back in and the evil that destroys unto death. Being in the Light, means having eternai iife through the giver of iight, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He expects us to be about the work of our heavenly Father. We are his discipies. We must be witnesses for him and teli others about this great pian of salvation. We must teii others about Jesus Christ so they can come to the great Light. Jesus warned us that the night, which is darkness is coming, when we can no longer work. When Jesus Christ comes to catch his church away to meet him in the air, then darkness such as has never been before or shali ever be after, wiii cover this worid. Let us work now, during this time of grace, while it is still day. Jesus is soon coming.
