PARABLE OF JESUS
I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish.
He spake also this
parable; A certain man
had a fig tree planted in
his vineyard; and he
came and sought fruit
thereon, and found
none.
Then said he unto the
dresser of his vineyard,
Behold, these three
rrears I come seeking
uit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it
down; why cumbereth
it the ground?
And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it
alone this year also, till
I shall dig about It, and
dung it:
And it it bear fruit,
well: and if not. then
after that thou shalt cut
it down, Luke 13:5-9

from Phillipians, Romans, Ephesians,
Matthew and II Corinthians. Rev.
Brice and Susan sang "Were You
There?" and Helen Land read four
"stanzas from the song, "God of Grace
and God of Glory." Jesus' command
was to "Love your enemies and pray
for those who persecute you." Closing
prayer was by Rev. Brice.
Roll call was answered with a Bible
verse by 16 members with 85 visits to
sick and shut-ins. There were two
visitors, Deann Winters and Mrs. Tom
Junkins. A thank you note was read
and a donation given by the family of

PARABLE OF JESUS
I tell you, Nay: but,
except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish.
He spake also this
parable; A certain man
had a fig tree planted in
his vineyard; and he
came and sought fruit
thereon, and found
none.
Then said he unto the
dresser of his vineyard,
Behold, these three
rrears I come seeking
uit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it
down; why cumbereth
it the ground?
And he answering said
unto him, Lord, let it
alone this year also, till
I shall dig about It, and
dung it:
And it it bear fruit,
well: and if not. then
after that thou shalt cut
it down, Luke 13:5-9

Bluff Springs U.M.W.
The Bluff Springs U.M.W. met at the
home of Mrs. Howard Leftwich
Wednesday, July 24 at 2 p.m.
President Helen Land opened the
meeting reading "Another Day." The
program "Must We Have Enemies?"
was given by Mrs. Leftwich, assisted
by Mae Gorrell, Kathleen Ruddick,
Wilma Egley, Dorothy Higbee and
Helen Land. The purpose was to help
U.M. Women to see the meaning of
love in the light of Jesus' life and
teachings and to become more willing
to love and accept others who seem to
be different from us. Scriptures were
from Phillipians, Romans, Ephesians,
Matthew and II Corinthians. Rev.
Brice and Susan sang "Were You
There?" and Helen Land read four
"stanzas from the song, "God of Grace
and God of Glory." Jesus' command
was to "Love your enemies and pray
for those who persecute you." Closing
prayer was by Rev. Brice.
Roll call was answered with a Bible
verse by 16 members with 85 visits to
sick and shut-ins. There were two
visitors, Deann Winters and Mrs. Tom
Junkins. A thank you note was read
and a donation given by the family of
Geo. Winters. A collection of white
uniforms will be sent to the hospital at
Ganta. Mrs. Ronnie Barry is to
purchase the layette to be sent to the
Festival of Sharing Mini Festival Oct.
5.
Nadine Thurmond will preach at
morning services at Bluff Springs,
Sunday, August 11.
Spiritual Life closing was given by
Crystal Higbee who read "Power of
Littles". Closing prayer was by Rev.
Brice."
Refreshments were served by the
hostess.
The August meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. Charles Ruddick,
Wednesday, August 28.
