ST. PAUL'S CHURCH OF
GOD IN CHRIST

Once again we greet you in
the name of the Lord Jesus from
st. Paurs Church OF God in
Christ, Rev. J. c. Virgins, pastor.
Since Sunday, February 81, was
the fourth Sunday Of the month
1t was a special sacrificial day.
that members of this church set
aside to bless our church. II was
also Brotherhood Week. At this
time every year, we recognize
that we are brothers, one nation
unto God. We at st. Paul's church
OF God in Christ wish to express
our gratitude for being a part of
this great nation, this land of the
free and home of the brave. With
Thanksgiving in our hearts, we re-
iterate the words, lone nation, in
Invisible, with liberty and Justice
for all" Yes, we know so well
those unforgettable words we
are our brothers keeper.
This illustration was brought
out so well in the pastors mes
sage as he reviewed the story OF
Lazarus and the rich man. The
rich man possessed all of this
worlds good and Lazarus, who
had nothing and desired crumbs
that fell from the table of the
rich man, who was so selfish he
would not give anything to his
brother Lazarus. Can we say that
we are our brothers keeper when
we have plenty and yet withhold
from our unfortunate brother who
hasn't acquired as much, the nee
essities that would sustain him :?
Jesus said on one occasion, ~
was hungry and you fed me not,
naked, and you clothed me not.
sick and you visited me not" Let
us not be weighed in the balance
and found wanting, for we are
our brothers keeper. Dorothy
Nolen, reporter.

ST. PETERS A.M.E. CHURCH

Sunday, Feb. 81, was the first
Sunday in Lenten Season and
Rev. NJ. l. Simmons selected the
subject, The Greatness is mea-
sured In The Kingdom" as his
initial message. He said that true
greatness is measured by the
number of people you serve. When
asked by his disciples, who is
the greatest" Jesus said. Let
him be a servant to all" To get
ahead is a real mark Of manhood
but do not acquire over-plus of
Importance or tread on your fell
bowman to obtain these heights
One way to expand yourself is
to visit the hospitals, Sanitor-
iums and prisons. If you do this,
you can become the greatest in
the Kingdom.
A new system of class leader
ship was adopted in the church.
Each member was given the OPP
portunity to select his own class
leader. Under this system, the
person you select will become
your spiritual leader and will con-
tact you.
Our Sunday school is progress
sing rapidly. One of its outstand-
ing achievements is the publish
ing of Sunday school paper. The
first edition proved to be very
interesting. All parents are urged
to bring or send their children
to Sunday school.
st. Peters was host of the
World Day of Prayer, Feb. 25. 1t

tightening experience to all who
attended.
