$?
This Sunday, July 18. Sun
day School was opened with s
song by the pastor entitled "I
See Jesus." The Superinten
dent, Bro. Henry Chsvis,
gave all a friendly welcome.
All visitors especially.
The lesson was entitled
Communication in the Family.
Proverbs 15:1.
Many problems in family
relationships can be traced to
poor communication. Angry
.words between members of a
family can destroy love and
may even lead to physical
violence. The answers to
anger and violence is love.
And words of peace nurture
love.
Soft answers, sometimes
are regarded by those who are
not wise as a sign of weak
ness. But weakness is reveal
ed in the opposite- in angry
words-when we lose control
of ourselves in sticky situa
tions.
Bad feelings between fam
ily members may be due to a
simple lack of know^dge- of
them not knowing everything
they ought to know about a
person or a situation. When
we communicate in the family
we get knowledge, thus fam
ily members understand one
another and what is happen
ing. It is tragic for a family to
live together as silent stran
gers when they have much to
communicate about with each
other. We need the knowled
ge of others which comes
through wholesome conver
sations.
There are, in fact, special
words which should be spoken
often, but always at the right
time. These include "I love
you," "thank you," "1 am
sorry," "I forgive you." We
can show our love in our
actions, but we should
?MMMWiI
also show it in our words. Our
speech is a revelation of yhat
we treasure in our heart, if we
treasure evil, we will com
municate evil; but iif we
treasure good, we will com
municate good. Clever words
may conceal the evil in our
heart for a while, but in time
our words will betray us if our
heart is evil. One who habit- -
ually speaks contrary to the
word and Spirit of God reveals
by his speech that he is
motivated by sin.
PROBLEMS IN
COMMUNICATION
Two serious hindrances
to good communication are (1)
failure to listen- and (2)
speaking in a rash manner.
The two problems are related
because those who have not
developed the art of listening
are the one* (host apt to speak
when they shouldn't.
Good relationships between
family members are destroy
ed when people do not take
time to listen to each other.
Husbands and wives drift
apart and parents and chil
dren become alienated. Let us
keep the channels of com
munication open and be ready
to hear others when they
speak. In Proverbs 18:13 the
Bible warns that "it is folly
and shame" if we answer a
matter before we hear it.
Communication in the fam
ily is hindered when we
become preoccupied with
differences of personality; but
when we take time to see the
many good things we share
and hold dear, communica
ting comes easy.
To keep communication a
live in our family we have to
be careful not to turn others
off by harmful words. Even
one harmful word can damage
a relationship.
VK21 '" rt. .# - ^ - '*?['? .'"?U" !
"takes only ? few words to bea'
the hurt. T? speak these
words is not easy, though.
The most difficult words we
ever speak may be. Tin
all my fault," or "Please
forgive me." But these words
are worth everything they
coat. After all, we're Chris
tians! It's our responsibility to
[heal broken relationships.
We'll remember this when we
need God to meet us at the
altar.
Oh. what a great lesson we
had Sunday.
Thank God for love and
mercy.
The Bible Gass had the
program Sunday, their tea
cher, Sister Ella Baker's
program consisted of singing.
Sister Mary Locklear's
class, the Juniors, once again
received the attendance ban
ner. Sister Locklear is doing a
fine job with the Juniors.
We're proud of her.
Paying his birthday offering
Sunday was Brother James
Earnest Oxendine. Hope him
many many more. A gift was
presented to him by the
secretary. Mrs. Helen God
win.
jome Deaunrui singing was
enjoyed. Mrs. Mary Ann
Maynor, daughter of Sister
Wennie Qark, has a great
talent for singing. She shared
a couple of songs with us.
Sunday was the third Sun
day so there was no preach
ing. This day is used to visit.
There are so many sick
people. We can always find
some place to go.
Please pray for all the sick.
Mrs. Ann Oxendine, Mrs.
Etta Mae Oxendine, Mrs.
Swannie Cummings, Mrs.
Fannie Lowry, and Mr.
Charlie Locklear and many
more. Proud to hear Charlie
got saved today. Isn't Jesus
wonderful? Mercy is extended
to all. Jesus says whosoever
.will, let him come. Lost soul,
you don't have to stay lost.
Accept Jesus. He's the best
friend any one could have.
Whatever you do, don't wait
too late and have to go to hell.
What a friend we have in
Jesus.
Please pray for us at Ever
Green.
Health Career
Awareness Summer
Program Ends j
by Mereie Lertleer Heel
The H< dth Career Aware
ness Prefect of the Robeson
County bo-rd of Education,
recently completed the Health
Careen Summer Program
held June 14-July 9, 1982.
The Program involved 24
students from the Robeson
County School System, repre
senting all eight county high
schools.
Participating in the Sum
mer Program were high scho
ol seniots who were identified
through the individual school
gudiance department as aspi
ring health professionals. Du
ring the 4 week program, the
Health Career project staff
worked to expose the students
to the many different heath
careers and encourage their
interest in a health career.
This exposure was achieved
through many resources.
Health Professionals who
work in Robeson County
spoke with the students offer
ing persona] contact for the
student with a practicing
health care giver. The stu
dents also toured local health
institutions to receive some
on-site exposure. During the
four weeks, the students
spent half of their time
touring health programs off
ered at Duke University,
Bowman Gray Medical Scho
ol, Wake Forest University,
East Carolina University and
the Health Affairs Division of
UNC Chapel Hill.
Along with exposure to
many different health careers,
the students received instruc
tion in Study Skills which will
facilitate their success in a
chosen health field. There
was instruction in speed rea
ding, memorization, note-ta
king, and math problem-sol
ving. The project's activities
not only served to expose, but
to assist the students in
making their career plans
more realistic and obtainable.
The closing ceremony for
the 4 week Health Career
?
Summer Program was held
July 9. 19(12 at the Roberta
County Educational Resource
Building. Koee Marie Lowry,
Coordinator, presented the
students with a certificate of
attendance. Marcia Locklear
Hunt and Harriet Mason,
Counselors for the Health
Career Awareness Project
praised the students for their
fine cooperation during the 4
week program. The students
presented the summer assis
tants for the program with
gifts of appreciation. The
assistants were Lorre' Bonner
and Joey Bell.
. The Health Career Aware
ness Project is a facet of the
Robeson County Board of
Education serving to encour
age and expose minority and
disadvantaged students to
consider a health profession
as a career. This is the fourth
year for the H-CAP project
and summer program. The 24
students are chosen through a
comprehensive process in the
Robeson County Schools. The
H-CAP program is funded by
Health Career Opportunity
Program Grant administered

OUTREACH HOLINESS
CHURCH
By Mr*. Fannie Oxendlne
Services at Outreach Holi
ness Church are at 10 a.m. for
Sunday School, Morning ser
vices at 11 a.m.; 1st and 3rd
Sundays, 7 p.m. with singing
each 4th Sunday at 2:30. Rev.
James "Buddy" Bullard, Jr.,
is the pastor.
We praise God for blessing
and most of all for his spirit.
Our lesson "Communication
in the Family." shows that
effective communication in
the family involves respect for
the dignity of each individual
and a sensitivity to each
other. Effective communica
tion is necessary in winning
family members to Christ.
Let no corrupt communica
tion proceed out. of yo^r.
mouth, but that which is good
to the use of edifying, that it
may minister grace unto the
hearers. A soft answer turn
eth away wrath; but grievous
words stir up anger. Today,
effective mothers and fathers
need to welcome Christ into
their houses to place that love
into our hearts and attend
church, it's later than you
think, the signs tell me that
Jesus is soon coining. Our
pastor preached a great ser
mon Sunday, but still sinner
sat back and by their ways
and actions they said we don't
need Jesus today. But sorry to
say Sinner, you need him
today because he said, today
is the day of salvation; today
he is your savior but on that
great judgement morning he
is going to be your judge.
Church members you can't
hide from God. Many are
trying to hide their sins
behind the Church but God
has your number. He knows
just how you live from day to
day. Holiness Church you
need to go back to your old
path and follow them in. Let's
take up our cross and follow
Jesus. No matter what we
have to face, Jesus will see us
through, he will never forsake
us, if we will follow him.
Jesus has paid the price for

yon and I. He gave hia life for
us. Let's forsake the things of
this Sto caned woild and
follow Jesus. And one day just
in the morning praise God.
We will see him. Church he is
coming. Don't forget our
singing Sunday evening at
2:30. Come be with us. Pray
for our young people that God
will save them. Don't forget
the sick and especially pray
for Mr. Charlie Locklear who
is sick. Sunday he gave his
heart to Jesus and that was
the best thing anyone can do.
Give your heart to Jesus. You
are welcome at Outreach
Holiness Church. God bless
you...
