Bethpage By Joyce Brown Our birthdays this week belonged to Becky Jo Griggs and Katie Griggs. Worship began with the song “Jesus, Name Above All Names” by Tina and Janice. Our call to worship was “His Name Is Wonderful” and the welcome hymn was “Love Lifted Me.” Our Preacher’s Pals were back on the front pew looking cuter than ever. Bro. James preached on the subject“LabeledBytheCross” with the text coming from 1 Corin 1:18-25. Following the sermon, Ron and Dot Sellers came to join our church fellowship. We are all so pleased to have them “come home” to Bethpage. Bro. James preached Sunday night from 1 Pet 1:1,2, 18-21. His title was “The Word on Salvation”. Several from Bethpage attended the AOM cornbread and bean supper at the Winter meeting. Focus for this meeting was the Hispanic work that is going on in our association. A good group of men went to the multi-associational mens’
conference at 2nd Baptist in Union City this weekend, reporting good services. Zach Cochran worked in the FCA camp held at the Linden facility this weekend. He and Bro. James and Larry Simmons will be going to a youth conclave at Chattanooga this Thursday. There are lots of good meetings and activities out there to be involved in. Is God calling you to do something or go somewhere for Him? Mentioned for prayer this week were Rebecca Barron, Freddie Mays, Sandy Simpson, Valice Stultz, Bill Rice, David Smith, Philippine Mission team and perhaps others I did not catch. Thoughts from the Pastor: Jesus Christ is a believer’s breath, the soul of their soul, the heart of their heart, the life of their life. Can you say, as a professing Christian, that you live up to this idea? Can you honestly say that for you to live is Christ and to die is gain? Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
The Grapevine We had a good service at St. Paul Sunday morning a s it was a fifth Sunday some members decided to take a day off for whatever reason. But I just wonder what would we do if God decided to take a day off. Pastor Willie Pounds delivered a very good message. His topic “Why Blame God” was found in James 1: 12-15. The mass choir provided the music. Ministers Jasmin Williams and Timothy White assisted in the service. Little Jenna White boldly came up and gave her life to Jesus. Jenna in the daughter of Minister Timothy and Tammy White. Rev. Michelle Skinner spent last week in Atlanta, GA. attending classes.

On Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. 50 attended our fellowship meal. Brother Corey Meggs led us in Bible study, prayer meeting. He began a new study on the importance of spiritual growth, looking at a 5 Act summary depicting the story of Glory. We learned spiritual growth is progressively learning to let Christ live his life through us. A large crowd attended the gospel singing Saturday evening. After our pastor, Brother Corey, welcomed everyone and led in prayer, The McEwens, The Mark Trammel Quartet, The Hodges and The Washburns blessed us with their songs and testimonies. We welcomed many visitors who are always our honored guests. Sunday school attendance was 72 with 4 visitors. Peyton Holt began our worship service with scripture. Our

music directors all contribute much to our services. David McEwen sang our special, “Thank God for Grace.” Brother Corey’s morning message, “Which way should I go?” was taken from Luke 22:31-38, 55-62. He spoke of Peter and Judas who both faced forks in the road as we do each day. Discipleship Training attendance was 34. Brother Andy and Charlene King have recently returned from a mission trip to Southwestern Arizona. They worked in the Tohono O’Odham Indian Nation in San Simon Village. We enjoyed seeing slides and hearing about their work. There will be a super Bowl Party for our youth and children Sunday, Feb. 6 at 5 p.m. at the Alfords. Continue to remember those on our prayer list and the Arizona Mission.
Sunday School for Shut-In Whether you’re 5 or 105 this is for you in love. When you are ready please read Matthew 6:26. Jesus asks us to examine His example of a worriless life, the birds of the air. Where else have we heard about some birds? Do you remember David and Goliath? David was a young Shepard boy; Goliath was a giant over 9 feet tall. Goliath comes to threaten David’s country. David is a student of God. David knows and believes that the true and living God had made the star and o nothing could be impossible with God. David killed a bear to protect his sheep. Another time, David killed a lion. Now he faces a giant. David asked, “What does the man get who removes the giant and his threats from our country?” David is a boy. The people answer his question, but they don’t believe he’s serious. The truth they don’t understand that God is on David’s side and nothing is impossible tot he one who believes. David goes out alone to face the giant. Goliath laughs and says, “Do I look like a dog to you people? Are you nuts? You’ve sent a small boy to fight a giant like me.” Goliath cursed David by the mane
of Gods. That curse had no power over David whatsoever. Then the giant said to David, “Come her little boy I’ll feed you to the fowls in the air and the beasts in the field.” (I Samuel 17:1-44). Now the giant’s done it, he just stepped into David’s dominion of faith. David had killed the animals in the field. David had a personal relationship with God who made the stars and the fowls and the air and the lilies in the field (Genesis 1 Matthew 6:28). So David said to the giant, “You come to me with your weapons, but I come to you in the name of the Lord. Today He will be done, He will deliver you into my hand, and He will deliver you into the fowls and the beasts. It will be done. This battle is the Lord’s.” David puts a smooth stone in his slingshot and hurls in at the giant and the giant falls. It’s dead. When the enemy’s army sees that David has won they run. The evening news headlines would read:” Israel spoils the army of the Philistines giants today. All the people witness that nothing is impossible in the name of the Lord (I Samuel 17: 45-53).
Dyer Church of Christ Morning worship services had an attendance 112 and 87 in Sunday school. We had a special guest for our 5th Sunday meeting, Joe Wiley, President of Freed Hardeman University was able to bring us a message on Old Testament prophesies that relate to Jesus Christ. In the early morning class we learn that in Old Testament Jesus is coming Micah 5 and in the New Testament Jesus has come and is coming again Hebrew 1. For the late morning message we learn why prophecy is important to us. Jesus is our light, our light from darkness, Isaiah 9:2 and John 1:5. The early evening service we learned the Characteristics that the Lord had and that we are to strive to be like Christ, Isaiah 11:2, Matthew 13:4 and 5:6. Christ had wisdom/ understanding, ability to see the heart, not judge by seeing or hearing. Jesus was also righteous, faithful, compassionate, forgiving, meek and sinless. Are we trying to be more like Jesus? Remember in Prayer:

Pharmacy & Your Health Toenail Fungus Treatments Onychomycosis is a medical term that refers to toenail fungus. Although the big toe is typically affected first, other toes also may infected. The nail has discoloration that eventually spreads across the nail. Living in a humid climate, a suppressed immune system, and diabetes can all lead to a fungal toenail infection. Although the condition does not generally pose a risk beyond cosmetic dissatisfaction and discomfort, persons with diabetes and toenail fungus may also be at risk for bacterial cellulitis, which is a more serious infection. Some treatments applied topically generally are ineffective for toenail fungus. Therefore, medications that are taken by mouth may be prescribed. Terbinafine (Lamisil) is an antifungal medication that is taken orally. Fluconazole (Diflucan) is also an antifungal medication that may be prescribed for toenail fungus. These medications may need to be taken for several months for treatment of the infection. Ciclipirox (Penlac) is an antifungal nail lacquer that is applied topically for mile or moderate nail fungus. It is commonly difficult to cure toenail fungus due to those affected not taking medication for the full duration of time recommended and resistance of the fungus to medication. A dermatologist may need to be consulted if treatment difficulties occur.
