January ended on a glorious L note - God answered our I prayers! Our hostages in Iran are now free and back with their loved ones. From reports I’ve heard, God sustained our men while they were captives and gave them the strength to wait on His will. Praise the Lord! Many thanks to Gil Holt for writing the Notebook while I was away. My sister and I had a lovely time visiting relatives. First, our Aunt Kathleen in Charleston, S.C. It broke our hearts to see her in such pitiful shape but her daughter and husband (he is a doctor) are taking good care of her. We let her know how much we loved her, brought greetings from her friends in Portsmouth, bridged the years that had passed with Hope and John but since there was no way we could help, we decided to go further down the Coast to see our cousin and his Meeting plied the minutes of the last meeting which was the Achievement Program. Donna Pippin's led us in “America The Beautiful.” In getting to old business, Gene Baker talked about the Roller Skating Trip at Christmas. Jewel Langley, reporter, told about the district council meeting held in Windsor. New business included the up-coming skating party, which is to be held Friday, February 6. Everyone is hoping that this trip will be successful as the last. Mike Pippins and Beverly Walker were nominated to run for district officers. Mike Pippins talked about the Livestock Show, to be held later this year. Murray Goodwin suggested that in the future to have meetings during the months of January, July, October and December. Everyone agreed. It was also discussed, by Beverly Walker, that the Talent Show should be held during early May. The District Retreat was also discussed, but further (dans are still being made. Conference Slated; Students Get Holiday For the second time in as many weeks, students in the Edenton-Chowan School System will receive a holiday. A Parent-Teacher Conference day has been scheduled for Friday, February 6. At this time, parents are encouraged to make appointments with their children’s teachers to discuss academic progress to date. First semester ended January 27. Students received a holiday on January 28, allowing teachers and staff time for completing and recording grades and end of semester reports. Report cards were sent home by students on February 3.

We spent a night and day with them and their family and thoroughly enjoyed it. Finally, on to N. Miami Beach, Fla. where we visited our “adopted” sister, Candy McCarthy and her family. Candy now has six children! Five of them I had never met so needless to say, it was a real pleasure getting to know them and a lot of “catching up” to do with Candy, ho* husband and Dad. Then, home sweet home! As the song says, “no matter where you roam, there is no (dace like home”. —O— On this beautiful Lord’s Day it was a great privilege to enter God’s House to give thanks for the countless blessings He has provided. Those gathered for Sunday School at Bandon Chapel were cheerfully welcomed by Supt. Meta Mason. She made the following an nouncements: Prayer Meeting and Bible Study will be Tuesday at 7 P.M. in Fellowship Hall, conducted by Brother Bob Harrell. These meetings are great - try to make them a habit. Choir practice follows at 8 P.M. The BCWG meets on Thursday, starting at 10:30 A.M., with lunch at 12 Noon. Come out and join the ladies - you’ll enjoy it. —O— Prayer List: As I’ve said so often and firmly believe, prayer is the most powerful force in this world today. Please add our friends to your prayer list. Harold Gibb, Sr. entered Norfolk General Hospital Wed nesday for heart surgery. Pray that the operation will be successful. Also pray that God will give his wife, Hazel, the strength she needs; Wm. T. Webb of Brigantine, N.J. underwent surgery two weeks ago to remove eight blockages in his right leg. The circulation is now restored to his right foot. He is not in pain but still needs prayer; Betty Perry is improving. She is allowed to sit in a chair for short periods but still needs prayer; please add Len Koraska; Wallace & Emma Taylor; Helen Headen and Erma Allsbrook. Please remember Bill O’Neal, Annie Cooke, Jeanne Church, Robert (Robbie) Jones & Janet, Doris Squires and “Pappy” Caisson, Rex Jones and Jessie Baines. Please pray for our Nation, its leaders and its people and don’t forget our missionnaries and our new Shepherd, Rev. Robert Harrell and his lovely wife. “Happy Birthday” was sung by all in honor of Elizabeth Dale as she placed her contribution in our Birthday Bank. “Trust in God’s Victory”, Matt. 13:24-35, was the topic for our adults, masterfully taught by Stan Turbyfill. Aim was that adult Christians trust in God’s final victory over evil. At our morning Worship Service Rev. Robert Harrell welcomed the large group assembled for a spiritual refueling. Chairman, Board of Deacons, Thomas H. Dilday, announced that Bea and Hugh Peters have been transferred to Elizabethtown, S.C., adding that they have been an asset to this community and we hate to see them go. He extended them an invitation to come back anytime. Hugh responded and said they had truly enjoyed themselves here and were sorry to leave. Rev. Harrell’s inspiring morning message was “What is God Really Like?”, Luke 15:1-24. Brief summary follows: Jesus was talking to the die-hard religious people of the day and they didn’t like to hear Jesus preach about anything new so they began to accuse him of various things. Notice that Jesus did not flush with anger but told them three parables to show them what God was really like. First, He spoke about a shepherd who had 100 sheep and one of them was lost. He could not rest until the lost sheep was found - then - he rejoiced and called in his neighbors and they rejoiced. God is like that; Second, He told of a woman who had lost a coin. She swept and dusted until she found the coin, then there was great rejoicing. God is like that; Third, He told about the father who lost his boy. The son was lost because of his self-will. He wanted to do his thing so he took his inheritance and squandered it on riotous living. Then one day HE CAME TO HIMSELF - there are no greater words in the New Testament. When he came to himself, he could not rest until he went back home. The father didn’t condone what the boy was doing but he never gave up loving him. Every evening the father went out to the gate longing to see his son coming home. One evening when he went out to the gate he saw a trail of dust coming down the road. He thought to himself that it must be another traveler - but - as the man drew near, he saw it was his boy. With tears of joy he rushed out the gate and hugged the boy and there was great rejoicing. God is like that. He loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love.

Refreshments will be served. —-O Our deepest sympathy is extended to Ron Ellinwood who recently lost his mother and to Trudy Lapham who lost her sister. I hope that each of them will find comfort in a prayer of St. Francis of Assisi: “It is by giving - that one receives; It is by self-forgetting - that one finds; It is by forgiving - that one is forgiven; It is by dying - that one awakens to eternal life.”
