bered, he then went on to teach
them the first eight books of the
New Testament.
Marion Godkin was scripture
reader and she read I Thess. 2: 1-8.
Rev. Banks's sermon was called
'Content with Incompleteness'.
Having read from Deut. 34: 1-12
we see Moses at last reaching the
Promised Land, he said. A man,
who at times doubted and despaired
but always obeyed God, was now
deserving to enter this land. But it
was not to be. God said he was not
to enter the land. The writer of
group said, "I would like to add
that I enjoyed accompanying such a
dedicated little group of runners to
the race. Although our seven and
eight year olds were racing in the
10 and under group, each child
tried his/her best and was a credit
to Walton Public School. I was
proud to be with them."
Deuteronomy reported Moses as
dying as the Lord commanded.
Moses had finished the work God
had called him to do; now Joshua
would carry on.
Many people throughout history
have had their lives cut short before
they fulfilled their dreams, Rev.
Banks said. We should be thankful
that they did not quit in their
pursuit for fear that they would die
before their dreams were fulfilled.
When it comes to God's work we
are called to do it without being
expected to know what the
outcome will be. Robbie Talfon
said, "We are not obliged to finish
the task but neither are we free to
neglect it."
