Faith/Religion The Light and Champion Friday, April 4, 2014 I 1C www.lightandchampion.com Happenings at Joaquin & Paxton United Methodist Churches us our songs and music. We had a nice group this morning and it was especially good to see Keith. Carolyn Umbrell has a birthday this week so we sang Happy Birthday to her this morning. Fannie says that the Watsons are hard at work preparing for the Easter Sunrise Service at the Watson home. We had a really nice crowd at Joaquin this morning. When I got to Joaquin the Sunday School classes were busy! Noah and Daniel went outside and rang the bell. I guess we woke up the neighborhood! It was so great to see my neighbor Jo. Jo has been under Submitted: Randy Smith, Pastor Grace and peace from our brother, Jesus. Sunday was the Fourth Sunday in Lent. We once again meet a most interesting person. As Jesus is questioned about sin and whether people must bear the sins of their parents and ancestors, Jesus takes dirt and spit and heals a man of his blindness. Jesus brought sight to this man and this act of unbelievable kindness sets off a storm of controversy with the Pharisees and the religious leaders. We sang from the Cokesbury Hymn Book at Paxton this morning. Hilda and Joe brought the weather for quite awhile. It was also great to have Frances and Charles back from Big D. Cynthia played the piano and selected songs from the Heavenly Highway Hymnbook. Liz played the organ and Chestine lead our singing. It was really nice to see the mayor this morning and he said he was working on getting better. Gayle saw Phil Worsham this weekend and said he was doing better. Jerry Foshee, Teresa Dent, Brenda Hennigan and Benjamin Groeling all have birthdays this week. Cynthia added her son, Josh’s name to the birthday list—he will be 40! Teresa and Buck will celebrate an anniversary this week. Our Web Master, Jason reported that the church website has had 81,069 hits or visits since we set it up several years ago. That is a lot! Sunday Evening First Baptist Joaquin hosted the community 5th Sunday Singing. It is always good to see folks you don’t see often but almost always see at the singings. Mark had everything well organized and we had several specials including one from Coach Brad Lawrence. A collection was taken for the work of Christian Services. Lynn played the offertory and it was beautiful as always. Last Wednesday we continued our Lenten Study by looking at a prayer practice of emptying ourselves as we quiet our minds to listen to God. Trying to empty ourselves of fears, doubts, anger, etc. is not easily accomplished and takes practice and discipline. Our Lenten Study will skip a week as this Wednesday is our monthly Family Night. This potluck meal and get together will be Wednesday at 6 p.m. Last Thursday our Prayer Breakfast continued with a Lenten devotional and prayers and then we headed to town to have breakfast at the café. Prayer Breakfast is Thurs- day at 8 a.m. Also last Thursday many volunteers met at Lakeside Village Assisted Living for songs, scripture, and prayer. This Thursday at 6 p.m. will be Pickin’ & Praisin’ at Tenaha Methodist and Ms. Hilda invites everyone to come. This Friday will be our monthly birthday party at Pine Grove Nursing Center. The party starts at 2 p.m. and we encourage everyone to come visit and help out. Sue sent this email out to everyone about this year’s Easter Party and Easter Egg Hunt.
