Rorte Jr. burn the mortgage as Rastor Janes watches from the pulpit. Church says goodbye to debt SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Members of Zion Memorial Missionary Baptist Church, 101 North Dunleith Ave., held a mortgage burning celebration recently to say goodbye to a more than 10-year-old debt. On Feb. 1, 1995, the members of the Zion Memorial launched a renovation project that included upgrades to its sanctuary and the addition of classrooms, a fellowship hall, office space and a computer lab. The project was completed in April of 19%. The cost of the project was approximately three quarters of a million dollars, which the church paid for through a loan from a local bank. In January 2011, the church took on a chal lenge to make an extra payment on the principle each month in order to retire the debt early. The congregation followed their plan and with the Lord's help on Dec. 19,2011, the final payment was made. The Lord blessed the congregation to pay off the debt five years ahead of schedule. The congregation believes that to be able to retire the debt in less than the required time and during dire economic times is a testament to God and the good work the church is doing. Rev. Dr. Joseph Jones is the pastor of Zion Memorial. ?'fr^ ' t l\/Si Ardmore Baptist event to support Ashley feeding program SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE The Hunger to Health Ministry (H2H) at Ardmore Baptist Church will host Hunger to Health Awareness Day on Saturday, May 12.

I Am the Bread of Life Background Reading: Psalm 107 Lesson: Scripture John 6:22-35 Lesson Aims: To recognize that spiritual needs being met are vital to all life; to realize that Jesus is the Bread for all people; and to lead others to Him. Background: Many people followed Jesus after they witnessed the miraculous signs He performed (see 4:43 - 5:14). On the far shore of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus went to Tiberias. Due to the size of the crowd, He went up on a moun tainside to accom modate them. Now they had to feed them, but how? Simon Peter brought a boy to Jesus who had two fish and five barley loaves (cheap bread eaten by the poor). Jesus prayed over the food and the dis ciples distributed it. When everyone had their fill, 12 baskets Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson remained. tne crowd acknowledged Jesus as the Prophet! Knowing their motives, He separated Himself from them and probably prayed. As night fell, the dis ciples got on a boat and headed for Capernaum, north of Tiberias. A storm arose and the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water! They were terri fied of course, but Jesus calmed them. Matthew 14:22-33 and Mark 6:47 51 also chronicled this event. The 12 along with Jesus, arrived^ their destination safely. Lesson: When the new day dawns, the crowd can't find Jesus. They soon realize that He is with the disciples. They get on boats to pursue Him. Their most pressing question is "how did He get there?" They knew that the disciples had taken the only boat in the harbor the night before. That isn't important to Jesus. Instead, He addresses their "real" motive for following Him - they want another free meal! He cautions them to See Peppers on B5 Lowe
