FROM THE MINISTERS' DESK.
"TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO: AND
WHEN HE IS OLD, HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT."
Proverbs 22:6
"Where did we go wrong?" This question is
often ask by parents when there teenager or
their child has caused a problem in the family
and the hurt has now begun and parents begin
to search their minds as to what they might
have done in the past to have to not come to
this type of thinking. We are all victims at
one time or another of knowing that something
can change this questiong to - "Where did we
go right?" I have always wanted to say that
and this is my opportunity to share with you
the opportunity to have people say-"Where did
we go right?" This is to start our Pre-School
here at Maili Christian Church.
Our scripture give us the challenge of giving
a child the right start in life. Too often we
have come to blame "the system" when if we
would have stopped and thought that we must do
our part as adults to check out what is happen
ing in the world and to do our part to give a
young person the right start in life.
At present we are doing our uttmost to get the
old Honfed building in Waianae. We would not
have to pay anything for the building except
for the moving and possible removal of some
asbestos in the floor. If it is possible to
move the building without cutting it then this
problem would be removed also. We are asking
that all of you who read this be in constant
prayer that this will be one of the ways that
we can change that first question and fulfill
our scripture verse in that we will have given
the young people of Maili to leam about Jesus
Christ and get a great start in life.
My life has been one of blessing because of
parents who gave me values and a belief in God.
It is also hoped that we will be able to reach
many of our prospective students and their par
ents for the Church here at Maili.
We have many obstacles to overcome, but we feel
that they will be overcome because God's people
were in prayer and we will have the opportunity
to share Christ with precious soiils that do
not know Him.
LADIES
The second Sunday of each month is Ladies
Day and the ladies plan and are in charge of
the opening part of the worship service.
Sunday (July 14) Deborah Nakamura will be the
guest pianist and soloist. Her family is
long-time friends of the Luttrells. The Lord
willing, she, her husband, and her two chil
dren will be with us.
We cordially invite YOU to come to worship
with us, and urge you to invite your neighbors
and friends.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
VBS can be a great outreach for the church.
It gives an opportunity to meet new children
and their families. Only as we get to know
and teach new people can we tell of the love
and God and lead them to a saving faith.
Please think about children that you know who
need to know the Lord, pray for them, and then
urge them to attend our VBS. Flyers are at th^
church to give to them.
Our VBS will be held in the evenings (it is/
much cooler then) from 7 to 9 P.M. on Tuesday,**.^
Wednesday, and Thursday evenings beginning /
July l6 and continuing each week through ^
August 8. Ibis will make 12 sessions with
3 sessions a week for 4 weeks. All children
3 years old and up through elementary school
are invited. There is NO CHARGE.
A missionary offering will be taken to be
sent to our missionaries - Goergia and Somchai
Panya, missionaries to Thailand. Somchai
was bom in Burma and served as a Buddhist
monk before he became a Christian.
LAST BIBLE CLUB
Wednesday (July 10) will be our last Bible
Club meeting at least until fall.
Regular sessions have been held each Wed.
afternoon at 3 P.M. during the school year
and at 2 P.M. this summer. Our longest course
was a survey of the Bible with the children
being encoursiged to memorize the names of the
Books of the Bible. Those who did are Johna-
than and Bridgette Sholtis, Leilani, Cynthia,
and Bettina King.

OOULD THIS BE YOli?
Dear Johnny Carson:
I am writing you because TV has become a sort
of religion to me. Instead of going to church
on Wednesday evenings and Sunday evenings, I
stay home and watch the tights, a class "B"
Hollywood horror or Bonanza. Finally, instead
of devotions, I relax with your program be
fore going to bed. It takes so little effort
to listen to you and I never thing about my
sins watching your show as I do sometimes in
church.
But Johnny, I have a problem. I'm in the hos
pital now. I am ashamed to call the minister,
because by staying at home, I've slapped him
in theteeth every Wednesday and Sunday night.
I've said, in effect, "What you have to say
doesn't concern me." I don't even feel '
praying because I've ignored God for a long
time. Is ther something you can do to help
me in my present situation? If I die, will
you make the final arrangements? Will you
see that my soul gets to heaven?
If I do get well, you can be sure that I'll
be faithfully in my place before the TV
every night.
(Signed) A DEVOTED LISTENER
