The Obedient Christian Prays (Part 2)
By
Pastor Ted White How much time do you spend just talking with
God? When do you talk with God? We should speak with Him often and
not just when times are hard. Foxhole or jailhouse religion speaks
to the issue that when people are in difficult situations, only then
do they talk with God. Many times people in this situations say “Oh,
if you only get me out of this situation, they I will live for you.”
Then, often, the Lord does allow them to get out of a painful
situation, but they go their own way and forget what they had said.
We
have such a privilege to be able to speak to the One who created all
things, who has all knowledge, all power and sustains all things,
yes, even the breaths that you take. When we pray we are not to use
vain repetitions Jesus said in Matthew 6:7, that is, we are not to
say the same thing over and over again thinking we will be heard for
the many words said. Then in Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus gave us a model
prayer. This prayer, called “The Lord’s Prayer” was given to show us
how to pray. Many people just repeat this prayer and don’t even
think about what it is saying. But, let’s take a brief look.
•
Our Father in heaven - Whose Father? The context shows us He is the
disciples’ Father. He is Father to all that have trusted in Jesus
alone for salvation.
•
Hallowed be Your Name - God’s very character (holiness, purity,
righteousness) is tied to His Name just as your character is tied to
your name. When someone speaks or thinks your name, they think of
your character. God’s very Name is tied to His holiness. • Thy
Kingdom come - It is His kingdom, He is the King, we are His
servants. He is the most gracious King one could ever serve.
•
Thy will be done - It is His will we are to do, not our own. His
will is best and He always has the best in mind for us even when we
may not understand circumstances that are troubling to us.
•
Give us this day our daily bread - He has promised to supply our
daily needs. This does not mean that we get everything we want.
•
Forgive us as we forgive others - He will not forgive us if we won’t
forgive.
•
He keeps us from temptation - We decide if we will follow His lead
or do our own thing.
•
Deliver us from the evil one - Only He can do this.
So,
how often do we talk to Him? Communication shows appreciation.
We have to know Him to talk to Him. Find out how at

God

Else
Cilley Chapter D.A.R.
The members of the Else Cilley Chapter D.A.R. met for their annual
picnic at the Fernald Dairy Farm on Nottingham Square. The
hostesses, serving make-your-own-sundaes, in reference to Dairy
Products, were Katherine Fernald, her mother, Barbara Fernald, and
Lynne Sweet and Norma Perkins.
After calling the meeting to
order, Regent Jan Gilman gave the reins to Katherine Fernald, who
gave the members a tour and explanation of how a modern-day dairy
farm is run. She, her mother and father, and brother, with part-time
help; milk about 150 holsteins. They also grow both corn and hay for
feed. The cows are housed in free stall barns where they can move
around. The calves are raised elsewhere, until old enough to be
bred.
After the informative tour, the meeting progressed in the
usual manner.
The President General’s message was read from the
July/August Newsletter. The National Defense Message from
March/April was about “The Mighty Dogs of the Military” - Search
Dogs To Find Explosives And I.E.D.s”, written by Robert B. Milner,
Jr., Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.).
Copies of this year’s Essay Contest
were given out to be distributed to local schools.
The Annual
Yard Sale was a success, thanks to the hard work of many members.
The next meeting is at the Nottingham Square Schoolhouse on
Wednesday, August 19 at 1:30 p.m.
Boy
Scouts Host Watershed
Tom Lothian, Ranger for WAH-TUT-CA Scout
Reservation, welcomed the Northwood Lake Watershed Association to
the scout site for their August meeting.
Committee reports of
special interest were Water Quality and Lake Hosts. WATER QUALITY:
Expanded testing for Phosphorous and E.coli have been done this
summer. The Northwood Town Beach has not been closed this year due
to high levels of E.coli. An improvement over recent years.
Hopefully, this is a result of increased awareness and no continuous
duck feeding near the beach. President, Jim Vaillancourt, stressed
the importance of getting the three towns that abut Northwood Lake -
Northwood, Epsom and Deerfield - involved in lake water quality
issues and to begin a discussion that could lead to consistent
run-off and storm water management policies.
LAKE HOST: The first
half of the year has been extremely rainy and therefore we are
expecting the annual number of boats entering the lake and inspected
by the Lake Hosts will decline. The number of inspections is used to
provide grant money for the following year. Less grant money is
expected for next year. An increase in volunteer hours is necessary
to keep coverage at the same level in 2010.
Training for the
Lake Host Program is held annually in the Spring at the Concord DES
facilities. Please contact Doug Chamberlin, 942-7884, for more
information.
A lake wide boat parade will be held July 31, 2010.
Northwood Lake has not had a boat parade for several years. It will
be a gala event.
The next Northwood Lake Watershed neighborhood
meeting will be held at the home of newly elected Director, Marilyn
Payne, 107 Lakeshore Drive on Saturday, September 12 at 9am.

preserve the quality of the lake at

Northwood Theatre Workshop To Present The Mouse That Roared
Can
the underdog really succeed? Is determination to achieve justice a
viable plan? The Ann White Northwood Theatre Workshop will prove
both to be true when they present The Mouse That Roared on August 28
and 29 at 7:30 p.m. and August 30 at 2:00 p.m. at the Masonic Hall
in Northwood at the intersection of Routes 4 and 202/9.
Directed
by Kevin Barrett and Maureen DiOrio, and assisted by Geri Veroneau,
the play is a rollicking satiric comedy made famous in 1959 when the
late Peter Sellers starred in the movie version. Satirizing the cold
war at that time between Russia and the United States, the plot
emphasizes the American Superpower’s use of foreign aid to buy
friends and keep them away from Russia’s influence. However, the
best laid plans of mice and men. . . . .
Cast members with major
roles include Michael McCullock, Adi Rule, Christopher Gempp, Kevin
Barrett, Bob Boucher, Walter Laux, Katie Makem-Boucher, and Steve
Grohosky.
Mary Irons of Strafford is the Scenic Artist, and Geri
Veroneau of Salisbury is the Set Designer and Technical Director.

Nancy Hill and Carole Neveux are the costumers.
Tickets, which
may be reserved by calling 339-2080, are $12.00, and $10.00 for
