With summer in full swing and temperatures reaching 100 degrees or more, it is time to start finding things to do this summer that include the AC.

The Cub Center offers Bingo every Wednesday from 10:30 am till 11:30 AM, its free and there are always plenty of prizes for the winners. After Bingo hang around for good food and continued conversation with good friends, the Cub Center serves up a delicious, nutritious and low cost lunch Monday through Fridays at noon. The last Thursday of every month the Cub Center celebrates birthday month with cake and a rousing round of Happy Birthday sung by all attendees. The Cub Center is located at 302 South Ave B in Olney.

Ingratitude Toward God

Ingratitude Toward God

I’m so thankful that the infinite God, who reigns above the heavens, left us the holy scriptures to keep us grounded in the reality of what He accomplished for us on the cross through the death of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. No, my friends, God has not left us to wander through this vast wilderness filled with corruption, but He has left us reminders of His love towards us written in the Bible. Not only that, but He has made the Holy Spirit to dwell in us, which enlightens our minds and guides our deepest affections to receive His word as well. There is no doubt that when we enter in upon the sacred text of God’s word, as an act of veneration towards Him, our hearts will be postured before Him in holy worship. Joy will spring up in our soul as a well spring of water found by those who have traveled through a hot desert. Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, nourish yourself daily with the everlasting words of heaven. Let it take you to the foot of the cross where Jesus Christ bore your transgressions and canceled your certificate of death consisting of the decrees that were against you, which was hostile to you.
