Halloween can be wonderful fun for chil-
dre, but it’s often the scariest time of the year for
dentists. Your ghoulish ghosts and fairy princess-
es will, no doubt, arrive home with bags full of
sweet and sticky treats. This newfound cache of
candy can mean trouble for your child’s teeth and
is particularly bad for braces. •
Don’t let your kids eat all of their candy at
he and make sure they brush their teeth imme-
diately after eating so all that sugar doesn’t lead
to'decay. If sticky, chewy, hard or crunchy, it’s a
treat any child with braces should avoid.
Chocolate bars without nuts are a much better
choice. If you are celebrating Halloween at home
with our own party, try to balance out the sweets
with some other treats that aren’t so sugary.
Bobbing for apples is fun and unbuttered popcorn
in another good snack idea.

There is no place for an ele-
vated attitude among peo-
ple who claim Christ. “We
preach not ourselves but
Jesus as Lord and our-
selves your servants” (II
Corninthians 4:5).
To the church in Corinth
Paul gave a very pointed
charge. “Give with a cheer-
ful heart as you have been
prospered.” This charge put
a responsibility on each one
of us and does away with
bake sales, garage sales,
sales of any kind that asks
outsiders to support the
church group. This type of
work was not authorized in
the New Testament and
can’t be supported.
The Old Testament gives
lists of ceremonies the Jews
were to perform. Paul says
theses or any ceremonies
that distract from service to
God must be put aside.
Christ has become the
mediator of a new
covenant. The Lamb of God
was the final sacrifice for
sin. Today we look back to
the cross to find our par-
don. In the Old covenant
they looked forward to the
arrival of the Messiah.
The importance of the
message of Christ is the
remission of sins comes by
contacting the blood of
Christ through baptism (I
Peter 3:21). Christ’s blood
is available only to those
who walk with him. A great
old song of worship asks
“What can wash away my
sin?” The answer is

related that his “testimony
of the Book of Mormon was
strengthened and solidi-
fied as he desired to know
of it’s truthfulness as he
would read it every night
through his Army train-
ing. Because Roper has
experienced the joy of the
Restored Gospel of Jesus
Christ,” it makes him
“eager for others to receive
that gift and blessing in
their lives!”

Pastor Haug delved into
his last topic for the ‘sum-

dealt with a member’s sug-
gestion to preach on “signs
that Christ is in the midst
of a congregation."
He used a rather
unorthodox approach as he
pulled out a chalkboard
with the words, “Heard,
Seen, Did” at the top. He
asked congregational
members to verbally par-
ticipate in this sermon as
they recalled times in
which they attended
