The congregation of Auburn
Missionary Church heard the
singing or Norm Lawson and Clare
Smith on Sunday, Dec. 13. Their
songs Come and Worship and Take
Time to be Holy, were very much
enjoyed.
The third advent candle was lit
by Leslie Bolton. Dorothy Bolton
read a selection on Joy.
Pastor Carne's message,
“Strength Through Suffering,” was
taken from Hebrews 12: 4-11. God
disciplines us for our good, he said.
To spoil is to ruin. Children who
can't obey their parents, cannot
obey God. When fathers of the
flesh discipline us it is an act of
love, and we respect them for it.
God disciplines us, not only out of
His love but for our good. God's
discipline is not imposed upon us,
said Pastor Came. Then there is
self-discipline. No one can
continue in God's care unless we
have self-discipline or sacrifice. It
is a life-time of discipline.
Obedience to God is counted to us
as righteousness.
The Sunday School will be
presenting a concert on Sunday,
Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. Everyone is
invited to the program.
A Christmas Eve service will be
held at Auburn Missionary Church
at 8 p.m. Dec. 24. All are welcome.
