MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR


To all who come to this church, we welcome you. It is our prayer that we may share with you the riches we have in Christ our Savior. To all who mourn and necd comfort; to all who are lonely and need a friend; to all who sin and necd a Savior, we preach Christ and Him crucified.


By a loving and a good Lord, and with the Holy Spirit we are able to carry on God's work here at Buck Creek. It is in thanks to our gracious God, and His faithful people that we dedicate this picture directory.

CALL YOUR MINISTER


1. WHEN YOU ARE FACING A SERIOUS PROBLEM


Most Ministers have been trained to help people with their personol, family and ather problems. The important judgment af a spirituol leader, together with his prayers for Divine guidance, will enable you to face your problems with confidence. Dan't allow your problem to get too big for you.


2. WHEN SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN THE CHURCH


You constantly meet yaung people and adults who are in your com- munity, and athers who have not united with the locol church. Put in a good ward for your church and tell your pastor about the prospective members.


3. WHEN THERE IS ILLNESS


Your Minister is as near as your telephane. His presence, counsel and prayer will be helpful. Your postor will appreciate your phone call when you, your loved one or friend is sick or going to the hospital.


4. WHEN THERE IS DEATH


Your Minister should be notified when there is a death in the family. He can give comfort and caunse: at this difficult time.


5. WHEN YOU MUST MAKE AN IMPORTANT DECISION


If you are a yaung person and face a decision about going to col- lege, arranging your course of study, or choosing your life work, make an appointment to see your minister. The viewpoint of your spiritual ad- viser should be considered.


6. WHEN THERE IS A WEDDING


Your Pastor should be consulted before the wedding doy is set. Since you will undoubtedly desire to have one or more conferences with your Minister, it is advisable to contact him well in advance of the wedding.


7. WHEN SOMEONE DESIRES TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN


Happy, indeed, is the pastar who is asked to talk with someone de - siring to become a Christian. Tell your Minister about friends of yours who are interested in knowing more about the Christian foith.


Your Pastor is as Close as your Phone :
