Martha Barnes

Love is patient, love is kind; it does not envy, it does not boast.  It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
Corinthians 1:13 Bible quote

MARTHA BARNES MEMORIAL

I just wanted to remind "Friends" about Martha Barnes Memorial Service which will be held this Friday at 6:00 p.m. at Hinkle. There will be a dinner afterwards for friends and family. Let's support Sharon Griffith as we honor her Mother and a lifelong member of Hinkle Creek Friends.

HINKLE CREEK Easter 2011

Atlanta Christian Church, Atlanta, Indiana

This is the front door at the Atlanta Christian Church (Indiana) Mike played there last night after their mother, daughter dinner. Michaela and I tagged along and the hospitality was wonderful. We had a delicious meal and Mike did great. Anyway, I just loved this front door. The church was built in the very early 1900's Like 1904 or so. The interior and windows remind me of the Cicero Christian Church, our home away from home. And the lettering on the windows is very similar to ours. And the name on one of the windows is the same as one of our church families as you can see. All of these details really showed me the connection between all of these older country churches.  In the basement they have beautiful pictures hanging up of the congregation throughout the years. A lot of people who live in town were able to walk to church which I thought was so nice.We had such a fun time so I just wanted to share these pictures with everyone!

 We met such nice people there and Mike was just thrilled to be able to share his music. Thank you all for all of the encouragement you have given Mike over the years. I know you would have all been so proud of him.

beautiful!

Guitar

chair...time machine?

Well, this is no great picture, but I liked the juxtposition of the old chair with Mikes little sound system,/equalizer thingy sitting on it.

BIBLE STUDY FOOD

Velma is bringing ham and beans tomorrow night and Paulette will make cornbread. I'll have some iced tea and of course coffee! Anything you would like to bring to go along with that would be great or if you don't like beans (Tim), you might need to bring an alternative.

ANSWERED PRAYER REPORT

As you all recall, Betty McDonald asked us to pray that the Lord would take home her friend Billy in the condition he was in. As we gathered up front in prayer, I felt the Lord's presence and felt in my heart that He was on top of this situation. Betty called me this evening to report that Billy passed away this afternoon and is now at peace with the Lord. Thank you all for your faithfulness today in praying for this situation. What a sweet spirit we all felt in the service today. I came away so uplifted after being in His presence!

SUNDAY SCHOOL TODAY

Good morning Friends!

We've had a problem at the Church with flooding in the basement! Another set back!!! It is still wet in places and we are trying to dry it out, so there will be no classes held in the basement today. I will still have the Adult Class in the Sanctuary at 9:30, so if you wish to attend that in lieu of your normal class, you are most welcome. Everyone will be upstairs today during Worship due to this unfortunate circumstance.
