Being Up To Date, was the
Shiloh sermon subject Of Pastor
Daniel w. Wynn last week before
an appreciatiye congregation
which included graduating sehel-
ars. A timely topic inasmueh as
many of us sometimes dwell too
much on past mistakes, mis-
fortunes, grudges and misunder-
standings to curb our own pro-
gress. June IS, Fathers Day, |
should find Shiloh and other |
churches well filled in honor of |
hard working Dad who really |
rates the day. Don't forget that
gift. The June nth annual Lend
A-Hand club Breakfast is at the
Center this Saturday morning.
And, in keeping with Fathers
Day, the annual Shiloh Mems
Breakfast will be June 18, Sunday
morning, allowing everyone an
early start Of the day with good
hot home cooking. And no dishes
to wash at home, either.
