As they walked down the street after the lecture, one said to the other, “Well, I guess he knocked the props out from under Christianity, didn’t he?” The other said, “No, I don’t think he did. Ingersoll did not explain my mother’s life, and until he can explain my mother’s life I will stand by my mother’s God.” ********** Derrick Hinson Sunday School: Evening Service: Wednesday, May 13 9:30 - Quilting Ministry 6:00 - 7:45 - Children’s Choir Practice—Sanctuary 6:30 - Richardson Memorial Ringers Choir/Handbell Rm. 6:30 - Church Conference 6:30 - 7:45 - Journey (Youth) 7:30 - Sanctuary Choir Practice A four-year-old and a six-year-old presented their Mom with a house plant. They had used their own money and she was thrilled. The older of them said with a sad face, "There was a bouquet that we wanted to give you at the flower shop. It was real pretty, but it was too expensive. It had a ribbon on it that said, 'Rest In Peace,' and we thought it would be just perfect since you are always asking for a little peace so that you can rest." $ 12,609.00 $ 19,840.89 $ 163,917.00 $ 136,050.03 $ 120,278.18 Pastor …………………………………………………..Dr. Karl Ray Minor Interim Director of Children’s Ministries.…..Michael Styers Director of Music……..…………………………………..Robert Rocco Praise Team Coordinator .............................. Chad Mills Hispanic Mission Pastor .......... ..Rev. Galo V. Maldonado Ilion Jones writes that "On the great biographer Ida M. Tarbell's 80th birthday, someone asked her to name the greatest persons she had ever met. She responded, 'The greatest persons I have ever met are those nobody knows anything about.' "Once the New York Times was asked to help a group of club women decide on the twelve greatest women in the United States. After due consideration, the editors replied, 'The twelve greatest women in the United States are women who have never been heard of outside of their own homes.'" Jones concludes, "I ask you, who was greater, Thomas A. Edison or his mother? When he was a young lad his teacher sent him home with a note which said, 'Your child is dumb. We can't do anything for him.' Mrs. Edison wrote back, 'You do not understand my boy. I will teach him myself'. And she did, with results that are well known. ********* Years ago, a young mother was making her way across the hills of South Wales, carrying her tiny baby in her arms, when she was overtaken by a blinding blizzard. She never reached her destination and when the blizzard had subsided her body was found by searchers beneath a mound of snow. But they discovered that before her death, she had taken off all her outer clothing and wrapped it about her baby. When they unwrapped the child, to their great surprise and joy, they found he was alive and well. She had mounded her body over his and given her life for her child, proving the depths of her mother love. Years later that child, David Lloyd George, grown to manhood, became prime minister of Great Britain, and, without doubt, one of England’s greatest statesman.

He is so young, so different from the others." Mercifully, she never knew there would be slavery and prison, too. Had I been Moses' mother I'd have wept to keep my little son: praying she might forget the babe drawn from the water of the Nile. Had I not kept him for her nursing him the while, was he not mine? --and she but Pharaoh's daughter? Had I been Daniel's mother I should have pled "Give victory! --this Babylonian horde godless and cruel-Don't let him be a captive --better dead, Almighty Lord!" Had I been Mary, Oh, had I been she, I would have cried as never mother cried, "Anything, O God, Anything... --but crucified." With such prayers importunate my finite wisdom would assail Infinite Wisdom. God, how fortunate Infinite Wisdom should prevail. ~Ruth Bell Graham T HE B E CK & C ALL Page 3 m&m’s…The end of another year of Wednesday night and AWANA activities is fast approaching. I know the children have learned valuable lessons during these programs this year. I know that all the work done in teaching each of these children has not been done in vain. I have visited in all of these activities and have seen the enthusiasm in each child’s face. I have talked with children and felt the commitment they are making to share the Gospel. Deuteronomy 6:20 ask a very real question for today’s parents. 20 “When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the LORD our God has commanded you?’ As a parent, what would be your answer? This question was originally referred to when the Jewish parents were to talk about their captivity in Egypt. However, I think this question has a very important message for today’s parents. Could you explain why Jesus had to be born and die on a cross? Could you explain the purpose of the Church and how we, as Christians, are responsible to spread the Gospel? You may be surprised in learning that children want to know the answers to these questions and many more like them. Children want to know that Go d lo ve s th e m i n a s p e ci a l wa y a n d fo r a special purpose. It becomes very difficult to express that love if we have not experienced it for ourselves. Children are our barometer for telling the truth and understand what we as adults are passionate about. Come and worship with us and help your children see the same Christ you see. Help children to ask for forgiveness from sin by showing how we can forgive others when we feel wronged. Make Christ a priority in your life so He can become a priority in a child’s life. Jesus said, “Let the children come to me” in Matthew 19:13-15, can we not do the same? 13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.
