Joyner, director of music at Emmanuel Baptist Church, has created a successful Handbell Choir for the senior women. The idea began more than a year ago when Joyner asked her col league, Dr. Linda Parker, associate professor of music at Bennett College, to become the instructor of the program. Parker enthusiastically agreed. The first Joyner rehearsal was held on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010 with about 10 women. The Handbell Choir made its debut at the church's first Christmas Candlelight Service last year. Since there was no budget in the place for the pro gram, Joyner asked the congregation to support the pro gram by making donations so that handbells could be purchased. Generous donations were given by EBC members and the Benjamin and Avon Ruffin Family Fund. On Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011, several new Malmark 2-octave Handbells were presented to the congregation. Pastor John Mendez delivered a special prayer of dedica tion at the service. Emmanuel Baptist Church is located at 1075 Shalimar Drive. For more information, call the church office at 336 788-7023.

Living in God's Kingdom Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson Lesson Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12 Lesson Aims: To under stand the criteria for becom ing a citizen of God's Kingdom; to recognize that the demands cannot be met in one s own power: and to deepen our commitment to Him.

Scholars aren't sure if these were the words of Jesus directly or a compila tion of His teachings. By now. Jesus has been bap tized by John the Baptist: tempted by the devil: started His ministry; and chose the first disciples. Chapter 4 ended with Jesus preaching and healing throughout the region of Galilee. News spread quick ly while Jews from every area began to follow Him. Lesson: "The Sermon on the Mount is the first of five major discourses (sermons) made by Christ in Matthew" (True to Our Native Land). The other foyr are in chap ters 10; 13; 18; 24-25. The first twelve verses of chapter 5 are known, as the Beatitudes. Jesus teaches that those who love God w ill have the right attitudes toward life.
