IN LOVING MEMORY OF

1928 Mary Kathryn Shields 2018

We had to say farewell to our dear friend and sister in Christ, Mary Kathryn Shields on Thursday, February 22nd, shortly after midnight in her bed at Avonlea Cottage, Shawnee. Kathryn was born October 18, 1928 to James Floyd and Lucy Ethel Hoover in Shawnee. Her family moved to New Mexico where she grew up, graduated from High School and married Don D. Shields. After a brief stay in California, she, Don and daughter Donna moved back to Shawnee, where she lived the remainder of her life. Kathryn and Don reared four daughters, Donna, Wanda, Vonda and Brenda and one son, Mickey. She took great pleasure and an active role in all of their activities. Kathryn was a member at the East Main congregation and took her family there every Lord’s day to worship. She became a part of the Central congregation when the two merged and continued active in it until just a couple of weeks before she passed. Kathryn was always concerned about being at every class and service even after she could no longer drive. Not only did she love to study the Bible on her own and with others, she greatly loved to visit other members who were shut in. After Kathryn became a widow she and several other ladies would get together on Saturday mornings to have breakfast, play some games and visit with each other. Kathryn was a diabetic and was very strict to maintain a sugar-free diet. We could always count on her to help out others at potlucks and dinners by bringing a sugar-free dessert. We will greatly miss Kathryn, her steadfastness to the Lord and to His church.

FAMILY NEWS

The Lord is our righteousness. We had a great singing

and potluck this past Sunday. We were down some in

attendance. We still have several out sick and struggling

with health. This weekend the North MacArthur

congregation in Oklahoma City will be hosting a seminar.

Check into online at www.affirmingthefaithok.com We

also have camp planning and VBS planning going on so

please be in prayer for those involved in planning and

leading these important ministries. Again, I want to

remind all of our Elders, Deacons, and Ministers we have

our annual leadership banquet coming up in 2 weeks.

The Highland congregation will be hosting our banquet

on March 9th and the meal will start at 6:30 pm. Please

call the church office and let them know if you are

planning to attend and how many you will be bringing.

Jehovah Tsidkenu

Our next name for God in the Hebrew is Jehovah

Tsidkenu. (ye-ho-vaw' tsid-kay'-noo) Yea, I know, I’m

already practicing how to say it. The meaning is simple to

say; The Lord our Righteousness. The depth of meaning

is vast. What does it mean that the Lord is our righteous-

ness? The name is used in Jeremiah.

"The days are coming, declares the Lord,

when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch,

a King who will reign wisely

and do what is just and right in the land.

In his days Judah will be saved

and Israel will live in safety.

This is the name by which he will be called:

The Lord Our Righteousness.” Jer 23:5-6 NIV

What exactly does it mean that Jehovah is our righteous-

ness? This prophecy given here is about a King being

raised up from David. Could this be a prophecy about

Christ? Join us this Sunday morning and we’ll study it

together as we get to know God better.

See you this Sunday.

Your brother

Jimmy Hyde
