Used clothing for the bale must Linda` Whitechurch WI met CampbellNov. 8 at the hall brings message to BMF BRUSSELS --Linda Campbell °brought the message to. the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship on Sunday, Nov. 5. The general theme of "Facing Down Our Fears" was continued with the focus being "Facing an Unhealthy Fear of God". She said we develop our perceptions of God in various ways and some of these perceptions are erroneous. We may think God is like our earthly fathers who, being human and not divine, may carry flews such as abusive- ness, absence or being overly - judgmental or critical. We may have developed percep- tions from childhood memories of sermons based on hell and darttna- tion, she continued, or Satan may have given us warped ideas in nu- merous ways. A healthy fear of God is based upon respect. Noah, Abraham and Cornelius, to mention a few, were God-fearing but not ?really afraid of Him. They respect- ed Him enough to obey Him. God is patient, protective, and loves us enough to send a savior, Mrs. Campbell said. This doesn't fit the image of a God whom we need to fear. As long as we accept the gift of grace and salvation, we, can build a meaningful relationship with God and learn to love and re- spect Him without being afraid. Lloyd Koch was worship leader for the service with Lucy Hesse and Anne Hemingway in charge of. the singing. Joanna Steinman played the piano for the offertory.
