/ Dr. Williams said the
theme for the evening serv
ice is “Two America's
divided and struggling for
genuine equality.” He says
for the service he wants it
to be as inclusive as possi
ble.
“You will see men and
women, Christians,
Presbyterians and Jewish.
We are trying to reach all
walks of faith, male and
female,” said Williams.
“For the program I have
been assured that they have
reached out across denomi
national lines, which some
times is a major barrier.”
WilliamS went on to
say the conference decided
to choose this particular
theme for the service
because America is divid
ed.
“Now we find our
selves in this moment in
history where we have
basically two classes of cit
izens, the haves and the
have nots,’’ Williams con
tinued. “My task to the
committee was how do we
bring about relevant ques
tions to reconcile the differ
ence between these two
classes of citizens in
America and tlte prophetic
dream that Dr. Martin
Luther King had of this one
America one dream.”
“This is what has driv
en the Ministers’
Conference to challenge
the dominant culture and
speak to the conciseness of
our city to compel our citi
zens to strive untiringly to
that one America. When
we analyze the time, the
tone and texture of our cur
rent culture, where there is
so much energy on divid
ing America into two new
millennium classes, the
question Dr. Martin Luther
King raises in the April 16,

Birmingham jail still rings

125 people showed up for Sunday service at Carver Road Church of Christ amid the snow and ice.
Church
from page B5
Shepherd Jefferson R. Caruthers Jr., who works as
senior pastor, says since he has been the leader of Carver
Road Church of Christ, they have never missed a church
service on a Sunday.
“At Church of Christ, it's important that we meet every
first d.ay of the week on Sunday,” said Caruthers. “It
would be quite unusual for us at this location to dismiss
services. In addition, I spent 12 years in Cleveland, Ohio,
and we came out in the blizzards, so I don't miss now. We
have good people here and they come out as well.”
Caruthers sermon touched on how God blesses peo
ples lives in this time rather than waiting until we go to
heaven. He also spoke about not being afraid to show
God's blessings he has bestowed upon us. Later he spoke
about the responsibility a man has in the world and how
“men don't run from circumstances, they confront them.”
There were 125 people in attendance for the service,
which was a great turnout considering the conditions of
the road. To conclude, the service communion was given
before everyone was dismissed.
Lesson

ence. “Obedience to God
brings His blessings; dis
obedience to God brings
only trouble.”(Union
Gospel Press, “Christian
Life Series”). Looking at us
today as a nation, where do
you think we fall?
God’s path leads to
prosperity and is continu
ous. Israel’s productive
year here is a direct correla
tion to its obedience to God
in all areas ... the hills and
the pastures of the wilder
ness are places not always
productive, but God’s gra
eious attention to His peo
ple brings unexpected
blessings worthy of song.
God’s provision here not
only made for a healthy
and thriving people, it also
gave provision for sacrifice
to attend to spiritual health.
“Let us never be guilty
of overlooking God’s
blessings or being ungrate
ful for all He gives us. (Jarl
K. Waggoner). A
For Your Consideration:
God “visitest,” “crownest”
and “clothed” Israel ...
since He is the same God
now as then He does all
those deeds for us as well.
Look for them in your life
and reflect on His grace.
Life’s Application:
People everywhere are
blessed by God’s goodness,
His provision for us all. We
actually need to praise God
because praising Him con
tributes greatly to our spiri
tual health. Praising God
for me is comforting and
somehow gives me a feel
ing of security and well
being. It’s kind of like
knowing all of your bills
are paid and the lights, heat
and water are working...
daily comforts are all in
place because of my
responsible behavior of
attending the bills due.
God is due all of the praise,
honor and glory. David
knew this and wrote about
it so that we would know it
too.
