Presbyterian Women help “The Table on Delk”
Less than 50 miles from our
doorstep, women and children are en
slaved in human trafficking. A min
istry called The Table on Delk
reflects the Father’s love and shows
the least of these that they do matter,
they do have choices, and there is a
way out.
Resources are shared, connections
made, Bible Studies led, and meals
served to all ages. Also, The Table on
Delk distributes 300 sack suppers a
week for children.
And food is where the Women of
Fellowship Presbyterian Church
come in. For our March meeting we
purchased and assembled 143 sack
suppers. In each sack we added chips,
a cereal bar, applesauce, fruit snacks
and a juice box. (The peanut butter or
cheese sandwich is added on site by
another ministry at The Table on
Delk.)
We decorated each paper sack
with a hand-drawn picture, Bible
verse, or an encouraging message.
This could be the child’s only posi
tive message they receive all day.

sack suppers for The Table on the Delk to help women and children affected
by human trafficing.
Will the Presbyterian Women do
this again? Absolutely. We had great
fun and helped children in need!

Put on your
walking shoes
By Rev.
Preston
Jones
Pastor
Jasper First
Baptist
Do you have a pair of
walking shoes? I hope
so. I want you to take a
walk with me back in
time as we continue
through the Easter Sea
son.
The 24th chapter of the
gospel of Luke tells us a
story of two men’s jour
ney from Jerusalem to
their home in Emmaus
shortly after Jesus’ cruci
fixion and resurrection. I
invite you to put on your
walking shoes and imag
ine that you are walking
with them on that dusty
and lonely road.
On your Emmaus
Road journey you en
counter the two men, one
named Cleopas and a man
whose name is not re
vealed to you. You listen
to their conversation.
Their world has been
turned upside down. The
hope they had placed in
Christ has been destroyed
because he has been
killed. Before leaving
Jerusalem, they had heard
different stories from
folks and had investigated
and been unable to come
up with anything to allevi-

The Alpha and the Omega
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning
and the End. ” Revelation 22:13 NIV
The ultimate beginning and end of all things is one and the
same. God, as the ultimate source of all things, is responsible
for where it is all heading. Thus God is referred to as the
Alpha and the Omega in Christianity. It is a symbol of God’s
comprehensiveness, both spatially and temporally. Our per
spective is incredibly limited because we rarely consider
things from the perspective of eternity, and even when we
do, we really don’t know much about what came before us
or what will come after. We only know that there was this
vast time before our births from which we somehow spring,
and there will be a similar vastness after our death, concern
ing which we hope to have some share in. We are wise to
consider these things with a modicum of humility, because
we are specks in the cosmos, floating on a tiny blue ball that
is itself a speck. But we are a part of the cosmos, a part of
the ultimate reality into which our minds give us some in
sight. We should be awestruck to consider that we are part
of this great chain of being.
