Golden Valley Christian Church
Those attending our Sunday evening Care & Share time, viewed an old Andy Griffith show that was totally relevant to some of today's problems. The story was about Andy's son, Opie, and his new friend who was very indulged and spoiled. This friend had convinced Opie that he should not have to work for his weekly allowance of 25 cents--but that he was, in fact, entitled to receive it without working. With wit and, of course, humor, Andy rebuffed this idea, explaining to Opie that working not only gave him money, but also a good feeling of accomplishment. Many seem to think they should be the recipient of anything they want. A lively discussion took place after this video. It takes some real parental skill to discipline consistently and teach a child how to become a contributing, contented citizen.
Last Sunday was "Friend Day," and we greeted all of our visitors. Paula Phillips, Georgia Randall, Rosanna Cross, and Laura Mendenhall sang a peppy song, "I'm Standing on the Solid Rock." "How to Handle Bad Times" was the title of Bro. Tim's morning message; it would be a rare person that has never had some kind of "bad time," and this message had encouragement for each one of us. After our morning service, we enjoyed a bountiful carry-in meal with beautifully decorated tables.
Golden Valley Christian Church will host Gene McCoy in a concert on October 6th, at 7 PM. The public is invited to this free event. Mr. McCoy regularly sings with the "Preachers Quartet."
The Bible challenge question is: "What prophet predicted the death of King Ahab?" (I Kings 22:19-20 & 28)
