The Commonwealth Quartet from the Nashville, Tenn., area, is making its third consecutive trip to the Carrollton Christian Church, 310 Fifth Street, for a concert on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. They also will be singing for  worship service Sunday, Oct. 2 at 11:15 a.m. The southern-style gospel group features one of the best tenors on the road. All are welcome to attend either or both services. Refreshments will be served on Saturday night after the concert in the fellowship hall and a free-will offering will be taken to help with the group’s expenses.

“A church-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. ‘I’ve gone for 30 years now,’ he wrote, ‘and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.’

A pot luck dinner will be offered following Sunday worship service. Everyone is invited to attend, a special invitation is offered for graduates of the old Locust School. For information or directions call Pastor Jim Stewart, (502) 732-5877.

Jesus said a lot of compelling and difficult things when He walked the earth.  A reading of the four Gospels in the New Testament portrays a man who had divine insight into the inner workings of the human soul.
