BORDER METHODIST

AS we crowded the churches on
Easter Sunday, l wonder If we
realized the purpose of Easter.
Easter doesn't mean new hats, or
fancy clothes. 1t means we realize
the sacrifice God thru Christ made
to save US from our sins. With
this in mind, let us remember the
other 81 Sundays we should go to
Gods house and thank Him for
his many blessings.
The morning scripture was TAX
en- from Romans 5. THE Cross AS
Atonement," was the subject Of
Rev. Charles NJ. Sections morning
message, which was of true Chris
tan value.
The love of God is given to all
mankind. Let us use this love for
one another. Remember the sick,
the shut-in and the afflicted.
The doors of Border are open
for you to come and worship. Wis
iting Easter Sunday were Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Jackson, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Lockhart, Alice jackson,
Cookie Ostrom, Janice Threats,
Connie Porter and Deloris Jack
son. Border welcomes all.
Because of weather conditions
last Tuesday evening, the Official
Board had to be postponed until a
later date. Due notice will be CIV
en-. Please plan to attend.
In closing, do you agree? Il
was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the House of the
Lord. Harry Davis, reporter.
