Bland discusses Christ’s human side on the cross at today’s Lenten Lunch
Rev. Hugh Bland of Walthall Baptist Church was the guest speaker at today’s Lenten Lunch at Eupora’s First United Methodist Church. Rev. Bland discussed Christ’s human side as the Last Words of Christ on the Cross Series continues with the words, “I Thirst!” Bland asked the audience to consider the most thirsty you have ever been and magnify that with the pain and agony Christ was in. He also suggested Christ’s thirst was not only a physical thirst, but a spiritual thirst. Gail Dorroh of Walthall Baptist Church performed two songs at today’s event.
Join us next week as Lenten Lunch continues at 11:45 a.m. April 1 with Rev. Rochelle Ashford-Minor of Liberty UMC as the guest speaker. A soup and sandwich lunch will be served in the church fellowship hall. The public is invited to attend.

Everything is planned for the big day. Friends and family have congratulated the happy couple and wished them the very best of luck for a great marriage.
All of the luck in the world can not guarantee a great marriage, and some of the advice couples receive may or may not be sound. Many romanticized what marriage is all about, and then are shocked when things do not go as planned.
And while marriage is one of life’s biggest adventures, a little guidance is sometimes needed to help build a life together that will last.
