$1.50 PER YEAR
New Year’s Service
at Methodist Church
Sunday Morning
Let us begin the New Year
right by attending church Sun
day. Just think what an im
provement we could make in our
community if every one of us
a ould resolve to attend church
as often as possible during the
year.
Does th church have a world
wide mission in times like these?
Are the conditions in Europe and
Asia an indication that the
church has failed in its task?
Come to the service Sunday
norning and help us discuss
hese questions.
We are planning a New Year’s
service Sunday evening. Let us
forget our dtsarpomtr.i en ts,
hatreds and failures as we join
together in this service, iookinc.
forward to a happier and more
prosperous year in 19-10.
Lest we forget! Sunday School
meets at 10:30. Men, we shaH
be expecting you in that meu\
Bible class. Os course we shaM:
be disappointed if the other
classes are not filled.
