Both young people have been ac- tive in the Church and have blessed the congregation for some time. During the service, the two sang a duet, "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus". Elwin Garland was the worship leader for the service and Thelma Steinman and Kathy Procter were song leader and pianist. Pastor Tom Warner gave the message based on the 1 Peter 3:8-22. He said people are connected in the Christian com- munity because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are raised with Christ once we choose to no longer be lord of our own lives, but to ac- cept Jesus as our own personal Lord. We need each other, Mr. Warner said and therefore need to join the Church, the body of Christ, made up of confessed sinners. 1. We are then expected to learn our gifts and how to serve the Lord in the Church, using our gifts. We've been made to serve, not sit. Our first connection is with God, our second is with each other, Mr. Warner added. Service doesn't lead to salvation, but salvation causes us to serve each other. itechurch UCW enjoy potiuck meal WhitechurcleeThe United Church Women held its June meeting earli- er this month with a potluck dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Sleightholm.
