DONATED MERCHANDISE — Each year manufacturers and merchants donate merchandise and epuipment to the Michiana Mennonite Relief sale for the auction, such as boats, travel trailers, campers, bicycles, electric tools and lawn equipment. Other items also auctioned off are quilts, antiques and good used items.

A balanced week of prayer

Prayer may very well be the mightiest force in the world. When we pray and believe, things begin to happen. The tragedy is that too often we either neglect or forget to pray as we should. The Bible encourages us to pray without ceasing. The following list of suggestion was given to us by World Prayer Corp., on how to have a balanced week of prayer. Sunday — Pray for your family. Ask God to'bless them, save them, and protect them. Monday — Pray for fellow believers. As Christians they face temptations every day. They need your prayers.

The mission project of school supplies was collected to be sent to Lost Creek, Ky. It was reported the boxes of food and paper products were sent in August to Ashland Seminary students. Everyone was reminded to keep working on bazaar items. The bazaar will be held Nov. 8 and 9 in the fellowship center of the church. The meeting closed with all repeating the WMS benediction.

Tuesday— Pray for the lost. There are many people with whom we work and live who need to know Jesus as Savior. Wednesday — Pray for America. Our country is in need of a fresh touch from God. It will come when we humble ourselves and pray. Thursday — Pray for the world. Two and a half billion people have never heard the name of Jesus. Poverty, hunger, oppression. and ignorance are away of life for far too many people. Friday — Pray for the Missionaries. Missionaries both home and abroad face difficult times and situations every day. They count on our prayers and encouragement. Saturday — Pray for your church. Prayer always beat** criticism. Ask God to work through your minister and con-

Zig Ziglar films to be shown

The film series by Zig Ziglar, “Living Your Potential” will be shown at the Christian Church of Milford starting this Sunday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m. The purpose of this film series is to help people get more out of life. God created man as a tridimensional being — spiritual, physical and mental. Each person has been endowed with gifts and abilities — potential — in each of those dimensions. As illustrated by the parable of the talents, God expects us to use the potential Re eives us . . .yet many Christians are still burying their talents for fear of what the Master will say inspite of what the Master has already said! “Living Your Potential” is a way of life... away of living that will bring joy and exhilaration as you build your life on a foundation of principles God long ago prescribed for true success. Christianity is not synonymous with a long face or an empty pocketbook ... nor should Christians feel guilty about the material blessings God gives. These films will help you set the proper priorities in your life so you can begin “Living Your Potential!” The leadership of the Christian Church would like to share these films with you and therefore extend to all an invitation to attend. There is no charge but a freewill offering will be received. The films will be shown Sept. 16, 23 and 30 at 7 p.m., at the church, on the corner of Fourth and Henry Streets.
