To those who are interested in God’s divine plan, rich reward is offered in an investigation of Christ’s Church in century one. As Paul spoke in his letter to the Ephesians, “even Christ, from whom the whole body (church) fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth . . . maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:15, 16. Every joint or every member rendered unto God a valuable service.” Selected. FoHow the commandments of the Lord and you are certain t 6 be right.

Christian Family Life Christian family week is observed May 1-8. Each family should plan a week of wholesome and sincere companionship as a trial pattern for them during the weeks, months and years ahead. For example: Family worship, meditation, grace at mealtime,, bedtime prayers, etc. Grace before meals may not mean much at times. We’ve worked to earn the food, put forth effort to purchase it, and labored to prepare it. Still, it is good to relax and get one’s balance again before swallowing it. One’s dignity is restored and one’s composure. It is good to be quiet a few moments before eating. It is good to offer prayer for those in the world who could not obtain this much food at any price or effort. Let us pray thus in the evening. “Our Father, bless to us our evening meal. Forgive all that thou hast seen amiss in us today, in thought or word or deed. Have us this night in Thy holy keeping. For Jesus sake. Amen.” Virginia Updike, Women’s Council, Speedway Christian Church.

Speedway Men’s Softball Efforts are still underway to organize an all-Speedway Men’s Softball League.

This is not intended to be a fast moving professional league. It’s just for fun and recreation—not for blood and no strings attached. Any man—young or old—who is a resident of Speedway and wants to play, is eligible, but you will have to make it known. Phone either Harold Monee, Be. 0633 or Roy Crumley, Be. 0677. Further announcement will be made by phone and Flyer.
