Panorama
By Fawna Barrett
January skies are filled with won-
drous sights. One evening coming
home from Jewell, the eastern sky has
a radiant circle of golden light; its
source unseen. Once, the shelterbelts
were passed, the glow was from the
almost full moon, its top was cut off or
hidden and as it has in the past, the
lumination led a person home.
A recent morning found the sky
filled with clouds across the top and
around the eastern sky, low clouds
glowed red from the approaching sun.

lights, red sky in morning, sailors wam-

announcements presented by Nikki

Oak Community Center 11 am. to

ner at Harmony.
The worship service began with a
piano prelude played by Lyle Dauner.
Brecken and Keiran Shulda lit the altar
candles. The Chancel Choir sang the
anthem, “A Wilderness Wandering
People,” directed by Pat Grout. Pastor
Gerry Sharp asked the children during
the children’s message, “Why do we
love babies?” He answered, “Because
they’re there and they’re easy to love.”
Jesus loves each of us because He
created us to love. He then prayed,
“Thank you, Jesus, for loving us.” The
morning scripture was 1 Corinthians
1321-13, on which Pastor Gerry Sharp
based his sermdn titled “Just Love
Them.” Jesus came into the world to
show us that God is love. He asks us to
love our neighbor and to love our en-
emies. This is our choice. Retaliation
only perpetuates the bad. People have
been changed because another person
loved them. Part of what love is means
praying for each other and forgive-
ness. God has chosen love, the better
way. Love may bring pain. Missionar-
ies have been killed by those they were
helping. But the killers have been
changed by love. We are called to love
as Jesus loved, for the sake of Christ.

Alexander last Sunday and they went

Tax scammers using
state phone number
The Kansas Department of Rev~
enue has received reports of a tax scam
targeting Kansans.
The callers all say that the recipient
has a tax debt with the state of Kansas
and push the recipient to pay the debt
using a debit card or money order and
threaten jail. The recipients were also
told they failed to file a Form 61 , which
does not exist for the state of Kansas.
The calls show up on caller ID as a
valid department of revenue number,
785-296—0671, which connects to the
department’s public information of-
ficer.
If taxpayers receive a call and are
unsure if it is fraudulent or not, they
should call the department’s tax cus-
tomer service line 785—368—8222.
