I have been thinking about marriage every day for almost six weeks. Not the prospect of getting married—I have already taken the plunge and even have a ring that I wear each day to prove it. Rather, marriage has been on my mind partly because weddings and anniversaries are prevalent this time of year and partly because marriage has been the topic of my sermons in recent weeks.  

Hymn sing cancelled for May due to conflict

Sanders Baptist Church will not host a hymn sing for the month of May because of a scheduling conflict with Memorial Day weekend and the Carroll County High School commencement.

The congregation along with Pastor Hardin Lowe invite the public to attend the next hymn sing on June 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the church.

How many times have we gone through very difficult times in our lives; — being in a car accident, going to the hospital for an emergency or having an accident at work or at home. With time we find a way to overcome them, but they always leave us with scars.

But there are other kinds of pain, like when parents get a divorce, having a family member in jail, when someone special in our lives passes away, having a family member that’s an alcoholic or a drug addict.

The Carrollton Wesleyan Church, 216 Third Street in Carrollton, will host a series of revival services beginning Wednesday, May 16 through Sunday, May 20.

The Rev. Bud Allman will serve as the evangelist for the meetings. Mark Chapman will be the song evangelist.

Services will be held Weds.-Saturday at 7 p.m. Sunday’s services will include Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., worship at 10:30 a.m. and a concert at 2 p.m. by Mark Chapman.
