The Church’s one foundation is
Jesus Christ, the Lord. The Church is
based on the Word of God, and he is
the comer stone, the rock that holds
her together, united and safe; secure
until he comes again for the greatest
wedding earth and heaven will ever
know.
What man, bom of a woman, in
sin, dares to call God’s Church by his
own insignificant powerless name?
What earthly man dares to put him­
self in God’s place and proclaim
himself as the originator and orga­
nizer of The Church? God calls men
to preach his gospel and the only
gospel known and believed by godly
people is that Jesus, the Christ is
anointed, by God, the Father, as the
only Savior of mankind. Jehovah God
is well pleased with his son.
The Church is the creation of
Christ; secured by water and The
Word. Christ came from heaven to
seek the church to be his holy bride.
With his blood, he bought his Church,
and for the life o f the Church, he
died. Who, in all good conscious,
can claim ownership or leadership of
God’s Church? The Church is made
up of the elect from all nations, who
are united as one body over all the
earth. T he Church is not in competi-
tion with itself. The Church’s charter
is salvation; one Lord, one faith, one
birth. The Church blesses only one
Holy Name and partakes of only holy
food. She clings to one hope and is
endued with on Saving Grace; The
Grace of Jesus, the Christ. Through
out the ages, through toils, tribula­
tions and wars; the true Church awaits
the consummation of peace forever­
more.
The Church expects to behold the
glorious vision o f Christ’s coming;
where blessed and victorious, she
will be at rest. While here on earth,
the Church will remain united, under
the God Head Jehovah, Christ and
the Holy Spirit.
The Church fervently looks for­
ward to the mystic reunion with those
who have gone to their rest; those
happy and holy ones; those who are
now changed from corrupt to incor­
ruptible; now viewing the face of our
Lord. Jesus is the resurrection and
the life and those who die, believing
and covered by his Grace, are al­
ready dwelling with God.
The Elect Church, alive and re­
maining on earth, holding fast to a
sure hope; a hope that we, meek and
lowly, forgiven, holy and sanctified;
may I ike them who have gone before,
meet Jesus in the air and dwell with
Clackamas

Services
him on high.
The love of Christ for this Church
will not allow his Elect Bride to be
taken away by proud and vain men;
nor even by that antichrist, who is
destined to come; For Christ is the
maker and Monarch and Savior of all
who bel ieve that he is the Son o f God,
the anointed one. These are the be­
loved of God and members of this
universal Church.
Nations are in commotion as God’s
Church prepares for zion’s war.
Guard your heart well, lest you be­
lieve any man who claims that God
only speaks to him; that he is the only
one who understands God’s Word;
that he has a special blessing and
special powers and special gifts that
guarantees he be obeyed; that he be
lifted up by the elect, to a higher
plane above the Elect and exalted
above the people.
God is ajealous God and him only
must his Church serve and exalt and
praise. God is no respecter o f per­
sons, and gives gifts, powers, visions
and voice to whom he chooses, that
he and he alone may be glorified.
Jesus, The Christ is the head o f his
Elect Bride, The Church and no pros­
tituted version will be accepted in his
kingdom. To God Be The Glory Now
And Forevermore, Amen.

Here’s A “Wonder’ -Ful Way
To Help Needy Families
By dropping off empty Wonder
Bread bags, local residents will help
donate fresh Wonder White Bread to
Oregon Food Bank
By dropping off empty Wonder
Bread bags at local grocery stores,
Oregon and Southwest Washington
residents can help Oregon Food Bank
collect fresh loaves of Wonder-brand
bread for needy families.
The promotion, called “Remem­
ber the Wonder,” will be sponsored
during January by Interstate Brands
Corporation of Portland, makers of
Wonder Bread. Local residents can
participate in the drive by placing
empty bags of Wonder White Bread
(Regular or Thin-Sliced) in specially
marked bins at participating grocery
stores.
All Fred Meyer and Albertsons
grocery stores in Oregon and South­
west Washington are participating in
this campaign, as are a number of
independent grocery stores, said
Mike Conway o f Interstate Brands.
Donors who do not shop at Fred
Meyer or Albertsons are urged to ask
their local grocers if they are partic-
ipating in the Wonder Bread cam­
paign.
“This effort by Wonder Bread to
deliver fresh bread to hungry people
is especially appreciated,” said Rach­
el Bristol Little, Oregon Food Bank’s
executive director. “The Oregon
Food network of agencies will wel­
come the opportunity to put fresh
Wonder bread in the emergency food
boxes they distribute to people in
need.”
“After the holiday rush, January
historically is a period when low-
income families need our help,” said
Interstate Brands General Manager
Larry Postlewait. “We hope our cus­
tomers will team up with Wonder
Bread and the Oregon Food Bank
during this time o f profound need.”
Oregon Food Bank, based in Port­
land, distributes food to more than
650 helping agencies in Oregon and
Clark County, Wash.

W onder Bread prom otion, call

Bank, or Mike Conway, Interstate
