Letter To The Editor

Editor:
The U. S. Senate on Oct. 1st, passed a bill which was intended to improve the financial crisis which has been brewing for many months. What was originally a three page bill proposed by Bush and Sec. of Treasury Paulson became a 451 page bill with $1.7 billion of non related issues.


This is how Washington works,” said Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington research group. “A big pot of pork is their recipe for final passage.” What was once a revered, deliberative body has now become a self-serving, corrupt group of politicians unworthy of being a U. S. Senator. I do not see any salvation for them. They must be voted out of office!


The pending question is, “What will the U. S. House of Representatives do with this rotten piece of legislation?” I hope they will not go into the same cesspool created by their Senate colleagues.

Gary & Wendy McGinn At Center Barnstead Church


The Center Barnstead Christian Church continues its Fall Missions Emphasis Month this weekend. Our theme is “The Acts 1:8 Challenge - Empowering the church to be on Mission .” On Saturday, October 11th we will be having a Men’s Breakfast at 7:30 AM. All men are welcomed to come to the church and enjoy a free breakfast. This will be a great time of food and fellowship, as we hear from our speaker, Gary McGinn.


Gary and Wendy McGinn live in New York and work as resident counselors at a family counseling center. Gary and Wendy met in 1971 and married in 72. Both of them were unsaved at the time. Two years later their marriage was failing. Wendy was led to the Lord by a friend who had been saved just a few years earlier and began going to a Bible study taught by a man named M.A. Butler. Gary was saved five years later. God changed their lives and restored their marriage. They went through some difficult years trying to have children, but God’s plan was perfect and He opened the door for them to adopt two wonderful children.


Their ministry started back when they met M.A and Kay Butler. They did not know what God was doing then, but M.A. loved to share Jesus Christ with everyone. He started three churches in their area and were able to go along with this family as support. Soon after, they moved to Word of Life Australia to run the camp and Bible Institute there. Two years later Gary and Wendy followed and lived in Australia for the purpose of Gary going to the Bible Institute. When they returned to the States, they were part of a small group that started Family Outreach Ministries. They met every Sunday night and prayed for Christians who were struggling and offered assistance. Out of this ministry in a little town about an hour away we started a Bible Study, which their church grew out of!! Their dream for Family Outreach Ministries was always to have a place where people could come to spend time in God’s Word and be taught. A few years after their Church began, a wonderful piece of property just up the road came up for sale. The Lord provided, and after thirty five years in Schroon Lake and raising two children, here they are. They praise God alone and depend on Him fully for it all.


Come and hear more about this ministry, and its future goals both during our Sunday School hour which begins at 9:30 AM and during our Morning Worship time beginning at 10:30 AM. For more information please contact the church at 269-8831. The Center Barnstead Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall.
