one another. The next hymn was
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Give
Thanks" The scripture reading was
from Corinthians 15:1-11. The choir
sang the anthem "The Wonder of It
All" directed by Katie Dockstader.
Rev. Clark asked the children to
come to the front for their story time.
He asked the children what was in
the basket he was holding. The
answer was nothing. He told them
that we were going to fill it with
school supplies for children who do
not have any. So when the basket is
full of school supplies it is also full
of love.
Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "Reflections on
the play The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. In Bible times when you
took something from someone you
had to give it back and also give up
something of yours like a dove or a
goat to be sacrificed. Jesus tells us to
forgive ourselves. We watched a
video of the play The Lion, the Witch
and the Wardrobe. The story
expresses C. Lewis's faith. Life
without faith is like winter and
Christmas comes along and offers us
hope. Lewis's adult life was dealing
with World War I and World War II
and the aftermath the wars. We
should own our faith and pass it on
to others. For homework this week
take a look at our lives as they are
and see how unique our relationship

The next hymn "Come Thou Font

Dockstader sang a solo "Just a
Closer Walk with Thee" while the
offering was being received. The
response "Your Work 0 God, Needs
Many Hands" was followed by

people, silent prayers and singing of
the Lord's Prayer. The last hymn,
"Amazing Grace" was followed by

We need a lot of chipping!
(Frederick Marsh)
"They will be Mine --in the day when I make up My jewels!"
Malachi 3:17
"We need a lot of chipping!" So said a saint as we were talking about the
Lord's gracious dealings with His people. The saying suggested to my
mind --the Lord Jesus as the loving Sculptor at work upon the marble of
our fallen humanity. There is an angel in the marble --because the pierced
hand of the Sculptor has it in His mind, and brings it out by His skill. But
there is a "lot of chipping" to be done before the beautiful image of His
holy character stands out, displaying the perfection of His work.
The hard stone of unbelief, the rough points of self-will, the prominence
of worldly ambition, the sharp angles of pride, the ugly faults of temper,
the stubborn marks of bad habits, and the dark veins of selfishness --are
some of the things He removes!
"Those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the
likeness of His Son!" Romans 8:29
"God cuts and polishes His jewels in order to make them shine more
brightly and beautifully in the crown of His glory in Heaven. All of God's
jewels need polishing!" (Richard Newton)
"God has many sharp -cutting instruments and rough files for the polishing
of His jewels. Those He especially loves and means to make the most
resplendent --He most often uses His tools upon!" (Robert Leighton)
