A large crowd filled the
church on Sunday morning
wth visitors from different
churches and surrounding
areas.
Sunday morning was a
special service where the
children of Mt. Airy Church
were dedicated to the Lord.
The pastor's message was a
special message from God to
the parents about our preci
ous children taken from Isaiah
54:13.
And all thy children shall be
taught of the Lord. And great
shall be the people of the
children.
It was a sacred hour shared
not only by parents but the
church. There were 25
children dedicated to God.
The prayer of dedication was
by the pastor with each
Deacon placing his hands
upon the foreheads of the
children.
The pastor said, "Happy is
the child whose parents base
their training and example
upon the principles of God's
word. * All children need a
Christian parent who is close
enough to God that he can
pray in theft behalf. No one
else can give your child a
Christian parent. This bless
ing is available to you. God
has done his part, TOrn
yourself over to him. He will
help you to find new meaning
and power in life, not only for
yourself but for your family."
Proverbs 22:6 says "Train
up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old,
he wil not depart from it."
It was indeed a thrilling
experience on Sunday to see
Mrs. Ruth Locklear as she
walked down die aisle and
surrendered her heart to
Christ Her mother, sister,
aunts, etc. were crying out the
victory.
Sinner friend, the very mo
ment that you take Jesus at
His word and turn your life
over to him in complete
surrender, that very moment
you can be sure you are a
child of God. You can be sure
that your name has been
written indelibly in the Book
of Life (never to be erased).
We also had two more
ladies to re dedicate their lives
and several others indicated
their desire.
Remember November 29 is
M night for church training
and the week of Dec. 5-10 is
our week of prayer emphasis.
On Wednesday night, Dec.
8, we will have supper at .the
church consisting of rice plus
what you want to bring as we
recall "hunger" and our
response to it. Around the
world. 1 remember ldst year,
someone said is this all we
get. Think?
Did you read the article
Monday in the paper of the
lady's child who couldn't go to
school because she had no
shoes and no money for food.
Will we respond? 1 don't know
her, but are we to help only
those whom we know?
Our baptizing service will
be this Sunday night at 6.
Rev. Nash Locklear's church,
Tabernacle Baptist, will join
us with thek candidates.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY a
Our deenest svmoathv I
goes out to the family of Mr. I
Joseph Lowery, who departed I
thei life, Nov. 15th 1982.
Joe according to his testi
mony, had no fear of death.
For Jesus Rose of Sharon
Hath given promise I shall
Come Again. No more suffer
ing. And pain shall be no
more to endure. It was really
heartbreaking for not only the
family but so many loved ones
and friends.
For we all know life has a
termination point. But the
mAst important tiling is Abw
will the end be. 1 know in my
heart that God wffll take care
at those who lose a loved one
and give them strength to
meet each day as it comes.
Just as God gives us our loved
ones and does not lose them
in giving, so we do not lose
them in returning them to
him. They wait for us in that
place when them are no
separations and time is pot
counted by years. Again, t say
to the family, Joe cannot come
back to you, but you can go W
him. May God comfort yon
and show you the way.
We also commiserate to the
L fenny at Mr. Aftoe Loddear
who departed this nre on
Saturday. Nov. 20 at his
home. He was the son of the
late Mr. Mannings sad Mrs

Mt. Airy Chruch has been
much blessed lately. We are
seeing the fruit of so many of
oar church members sharing
their concern with others who
hre not in church. They are
visiting and inviting folks to
die church. That outreach ia
at work in every department
of our fine church. There are
many more people attending
church and many many souls
are being saved. God is truly
blessing Mt. Airy Baptist
Church. The most important
thing is that souls are being
saved.
