Welcome to the Holden Avenue Church
of Christ.   We are especially glad that
you are here. We hope you enjoy your time
with us and come back to visit real soon.
It is our hope that you will find your time
here encouraging and beneficial. If you have
any comments, questions, or prayer requests,
please share those with us. We are here to
minister to you and your family.

Our sympathy is extended to the family of Geneva Leland White who passed away last week. She is survived by her daughter, Pam Graham.

********************
We also want to extend our
sympathy to the family of
Virginia Beal of Kokomo Indiana,
sister of Bill Fortenberry.

Many years ago a farmer had an unusually fine crop of grain. Just a few days before it was ready to harvest, a terrible wind storm destroyed it. The farmer and his little son went out on the porch after the storm. The little boy looked at what was formerly the beautiful field of wheat, and with tears in his eyes looked up at his dad, expecting to hear words of despair. All at once his father started to sing softly, “Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.” Years after, the little boy, grown to manhood, said, “That was the greatest sermon I ever heard.” The farmer lost a grain crop, but gained a faithful son. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world...Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).
