At Mr. Fred*3 service, held at Harper's Ferry Baptist Church, Overseer Charles Oxendine and Rev. Steve Jones officiated. 1 was impressed by the important points made by each of these men, as well as John Prine (at Branch Street UMC) made that day. I believe all of our abilities come from God, either directly or indirectly. The visiting speaker at the Gospel Chapel used the same scripture passaue as the adults Sunday school lesson at Branch Street Church..the storv in the book of Joshua of how aGMMMMM*** Israelites So take the waned city of Arkho. At the end of the day. after attending Sunday school, preaching, two funerals, and an evening meeting, it was ONE idea -1 from that last service-that really stayed with me: "THE only ABILITY God will use is our AVAIL-ABILITY " Are you and I AVAILABLE for God's use today? f Educational Notes I SCHOOL SECURITY OFFICER RECEIVES LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING Puree 11 Swett High School security officer.
