■» '*" 7 ' ■'*r« . ‘ ‘ Thursday. November 4. 1982 The Bandon Chapel Notebook: Benefit Chicken Supper To Be Held By Maggie B. Hi, Neighbors! I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart far children and the cMerly - they need so much love and consideration. Recently, I came across a newspaper clipping I had saved • don’t know how old it la, but I’d like to share it with you. It concerns a man placed in a “Rest Home” by his relatives: “Yesterday was an old man’s birthday. He was 91. He awakened earlier than usual, bathed, shaved and put on his best clothes. Surely they would come today, he thought. He didn’t take his daily walk to the gas station to visit with the old timers of the com munity because he wanted to be right there on the front porch, where he had a clear view of the road so he could see them coming. Surely they would come today. He decided to skip his noon nap because he wanted to be up when they came. Two of his daughters and their married children live within 4 miles. They hadn’t been to see him for such a long time. But today was his birthday. Surely they would come today. At suppertime he refused to cut the cake and asked that the ice cream be left in the freezer. He wanted to wait and have Jim Brown scored an un matched 126 touchdowns in his football career. ©ROOTS AND ROOTS SHAMPOO THE SHAMPOO FOB DAMAGED HAIR Try Roots Supergro for more beautiful, lustrous hair.

His last words before turning out the lights were 'Promise to wake me up when they come’. It was his birthday and he was 91.” For that dear old man, and the many others like him, Helmi Steiner Rice has some soothing words: “Sometimes the road of life seems long as we travel through the years And, with a heart that’s broken and eyes brimful of tears, We falter in our weariness and sink beside the way. But, God leans down and whispers ‘Child, there’ll be another day’... And the road will grow much smoother and much easier to face, So do not be disheartened-this is just’a resting place’.’’ The mighty Chowan River was slick as glass on this glorious Lord’s Day - per fect Indian Summer weather! Trees were donning their colorful Fall wardrobes, squirrels played tag among the fallen leaves until they were spotted by the dog, then quickly, up a tree. Our fine feathered friends were waiting for the crumbled toast which I scattered to them. The air was fresh and pure - the beauty and wonder of God’s handiwork filled one’s soul with awe and thanksgiving. It was just right to enter the church of your choice for a spiritual reawakening!

EACH NIGHI^-Oy Supt. Stan Turbyfill. Following our opening exercises and before our young people went to their respective classes, he gave us something to think about. He asked: “If you received a nickle every time you said ‘Thank You’ and laid a nickle everytime you complained, would you be richer or poorer?” Topic for our adults, taught by Margaret Bun- ting, was “God Speaks Through a Gentile”, Num. 22:4b -6; 23:7 -12. Aim was that we will acknowledge that God’s message sometimes comes through an outsider. Prayer List: In my opinion, prayer is the most powerful force in this world today.

Broad St. Ext. Church family. Pastor Bob explained that Bandon was concerned about what the various churches and denominations were doing on the campuses of North Carolina and it was decided that our Campus Ministry would go direct to the Campus of East Carolina. Rev. Earnhardt, our guest minister, serves as Director of the Wesley Foundation on East Carolina Campus. His scripture was Col. 4:2 - 6. Resume: By supporting ECU Campus Ministry, Bandon is given the op portunity to be a part of a large fellowship of people. This ministry is somewhat Inter - Denominational as is this church. It was em phasized' that PRAYER needs to undergird and become the foundation of any witness of the church, and we should continue steadfastly in prayer that doors will be opened up for the witness of Christ. Watch for all opportunities and be gracious. Rev. Earnhardt reported that there are now “13,400 students at ECU and we are working with a resident population of more than 5,000.” A solo by Miss Vicky Nelson titled “His Way Mine” put the congregation in a worshipful mood. Her beautiful voice rang out loud and clear - when she hit and sustained the high notes, a chill tingled down one’s spine! She was ac companied by Mrs. Janie Harrell. Gala Occasion! Last Thursday, the BCWG en tertained the Senior Citizens Club of Columbia, N.C. We had 17 very interesting (and interested) visitors. The eldest was Mrs. Annie Voliva, a small sprightly woman, 85 years young, with dancing eyes and a zest for living. The youngest, Mrs. Beth Brickhouse Demon, was only 19 years old. However, age made no difference as we shared ideas, crafts and handwork projects. Our ladies prepared and served a delicious luncheon, topped off with Birthday Cake and Ice Cream in honor of all having birthdays in Oc tober. It was a delightful day, thoroughly enjoyed by all. We look forward to another visit from these “young people”. A great big “Thank You” is extended to our President, Helen Ellinwood and to all the ladies responsible for preparing our bountiful “feast”. —O— IMPORTANT! A benefit chicken supper will be held for Garland Asbell on Saturday, November fi at Social Security Benefits Reviewed People in the Albemarle area who receive Social Security benefits while work ing should review how much they have earned this year to make sure they do not uninten tionally exceed the annual ex empt amount. Once a person’s annual ear nings exceed the exempt amount, some Social Security benefits will have to be withheld. If a person fails to notify Social Security, he may be overpaid; any overpayment must be repaid. The 1982 annual exempt amounts are $4,400 for people under age 65 and $6.000 for Page 5-B the Center Hill - Cross Roads Fire Department. For many years Mr. Asbell was Chief of this Fire Dept, and served his community well and in so many ways. Supper will be served from 4:30 - 7:30 P.M. at $3.50 per plate. You may pick up the plates and take them home • or - you can join your friends and eat there. Get your tickets NOW. Donations will be gladly accepted. people age 65 to 72. Gross ear nings count, not just take home pay. If a person finds that his ear nings are nearing the annual limit, he will have to decide whether to keep on working. If the decision is to keep working, the person should call Social Security im mediately to avoid an overpayment. Total annual earnings are the only consideration for all years except for a “grace year” the first year a per son is entitled to benefits and has a month in which he has little or no earnings.
