In Memoriam GOODBYE Even though we must say goodbye And are forced to stay apart, We know that you'll be gone in flesh But with us still in heart. Part of you has grown in us; We can't believe you've gone. But the love you gave us while you were here Is the love that keeps us strong. But one thing we can think about In spite of all the sorrow Is that, they've prepared a place for you In Heaven's bright tomorrow. , C«w>Mne Wein

One was: “Experience is a dear tool, but fool’s will learn by no other.” In other words, some people always learn the hard way. The Bible is full of examples of the above. It beautifully illustrates the “how to’s” of living: how to act, how to live, and how to conduct all our affairs. It is alive with illustrations, teaching us the consequences, both good and bad, of our actions, words and life style. If you’re having marital problems, God’s got the answer. If you’re depressed, sick, full of anger and resentment, God’s got a solution. Are you sick and tired of not having enough money to go around? God’s got an answer to that also. So don’t be foolish. If you have a problem, don’t try to learn by your or someone elses mistakes. “Experience „ is a dear tool, . . but the “wise'’ willlearn from God. We address these problems in our services. If you need a ride, call us. We will arrange * transportation. r Goa has an answer for your problem. COMEI WORSHIP!
