Weekly Scripture The Scripture for the week relates to Dr. King's martyr and comes from Genesis chapter 37, "And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. And they said one to another, be hold this dreamer cometh. C.'ome now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit and we will say some evil beast hath de voured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams." Every peace-loving person be comes a facilitator in the task of carrying out the dream regardless of color. For Jesus himself declared in his sermon on the mount, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of Jehovah." CHURCH ACTIVITIFS Little Miss Holy Bethel Crowned Hope A.
