LOCKPORT
ALLIANCE CHURCH
In Christ we who are many
form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. - Romans 12:5

We are looking for men, women, teens and
children who will sign on to be a "Barnabas" at LAC and in the world
where God has placed us. In Acts 4:36 Joseph, a Levite from
Cyprus, was called "Barnabas" by the apostles. Barnabas means
"Son of Encouragement," and throughout Acts you find Barnabas coming
alongside others and encouraging them. He sold a field and
brought the proceeds to the apostles to be used for ministry in Acts
4. Barnabas took the converted Saul (now Paul) to the apostles and
told of his credible conversion, commending him for ministry in Acts
9. From Acts 13 on, Paul and Barnabas minister together as
Barnabas continues to use his gifts of encouragement.
While raking my front yard in the fall
and spring I look up to heaven and ask God, “Really, does this tree
need to produce so many seeds?” I think He smiles at the question
the way a parent does when a child repeats asking a question hoping
the answer will be different this time. So yes, God does need this
tree to make a mess in my yard. It’s all about who He is and
how He operates. Big time, God is about life and I need the
exercise.
The “M” shelf
is teeming with an infusion of Morris novels, authored by Gilbert
solely and also with his daughter Lynn Morris. A generous
contribution of “used “novels has extended the “House of Winslow
series” from volumes 15 through 40! The “American Century series” by
Gilbert has also been given to us. You will find the first six of
these seven titles recently shelved.
“The
Creoles series” by Gilbert and Lynn Morris has four novels, The
Exiles The lmmortelles, The Alchemy and The Tapestry, which too have
been contributed. Additionally the Morris’ “Inheritance series,” the
continuing saga of Cheney and Shiloh, accounts for three more books
on our shelves.
Testimony of Sister Wang
“I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD, till the end.”
A lost sheep - I was raised by my grandmother. She was a devout
Buddhist. Everyday there were a lot of people from far and near
coming to gather in our family hall to worship Buddha. Our home was
always filled with the smell of incense. I was greatly influenced by
this atmosphere, and from a very early age I learned to help my
grandma light incense, lay out offerings and worship Buddha. I
thought that Buddah was God.
