Paul Ross gave the church announcements. Rev. Ross led in prayer. Scripture was read from Psalm 71 where David stated that God was his hope and trust, his strength and refuge and though he was growing old he had trusted God since he was young. The second scripture was from Luke 5. Christ spoke of the values of the old and new and stated that old is good. The sermon was on growing old. No one likes to think they are growing old but such is life, said Rev. Ross. Remarkable changes have come in this world through the years. For the main part they are for the better. People must respect the world, he said, and also those who are aging in it. Through the centuries man has been living in God’s world. But years come to man also. “Life is ours to live with our trust in God.” Dana and Joyce Bean received and presented the offering. Welcoming all to the morning service were Dana and Joyce Bean and children, Stephanie and Michael. Brett and Tony Bean gave out the church bulletins in the sanctuary.
