  Thanks to all who participated in the Pot Luck Sunday
  We never know how high we are till we are called to rise; And then if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies. Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
  
  All creatures have something visible and invisible. The visible is weak; the invisible is strong and alive. This [the invisible] seeks to get through to human understanding because human beings do not see it.  And yet these invisible realities are forces in the workings of the Holy Spirit
  
  If I can think of myself as loved I can love and accept others. If I see myself as forgiven, I can be gracious toward others. If I see myself as powerful, I can do what I know is right. If I see myself as full, I can give myself freely to others.
  
  Men judge us by the success of our efforts. God looks at the efforts themselves. Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you'll get the wind knocked out of you. But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.
  
  Special note from the webmaster: I only have time to construct one Messenger per month. If someone wants to volunteer to put a Messenger together I will place it on the web site.
  
  On the web site I have been trying to piece together some early history of our church. If you are interested and have a magnifying class "My Search" up to this point is printed on the back of this Messenger.
