A New, Informative Look 
 We are excited to be send-ing out this first LebanonRoad bulletin with a new look. The elders approvedthis new bulletin, and weare thankful they did. We pray this will be a wel-come change that will makethe bulletin more readableand informative. We want to do what is best forthe congregation,both in providing information andin educating through our arti-cles. You will notice that there isa “running” calendar onthe bottom of page 3.Please let us know of up-coming events so we may all continue to be informedthrough that feature.The back page will featurean extra article by one of the ministers here, an im-portant news item, a guest article, or an advertisement for a major upcoming event.Lebanon Road is a wonder-ful place, and we want eachmember to be informed asmuch as possible, as well asproviding as many opportu-nities as possible toeducate. Ourprayer is that thisnew format willprovide that in a  well-designed for-mat.Some may be worriedabout the cost of thischange, especially in light of the difficult economictimes in which we live. Wehave talked with the post office and run all the num-bers. This new bulletin willcost us a grand total of about 
$2 each week 
morethan our old one. Over330 households receive thisnewsletter each week, andthe only extra cost is thesize of the new paper. Wefeel this is very cost-efficient for the benefit.Many do not think the weekly newsletter is all that important. I could not dis-agree more! As long as weare using it for good, help-ful purposes, it can be a great way to teach andunify.However, the newsletter
must be read! 
Please takea few moments each week to read the articles and tomake notes of upcoming events. We will do ourpart to present the material,please do your part, too.May God be glorified by all we do at Lebanon Road,even by our new bulletin.

From Harry...
“YOU’LL NEVER BE SORRY”
I was only an eighteen-year-old college freshman. I just stepped from the baptistery dressing room, my hair still wet from my “burial” with Christ. Dozens of people that I didn’t know were shaking my hand and congratulating me. Looking back on it, many of the impressions----thefaces and words----are blurred by time.One person and his words are not blurred. He was anaged man, many years an elder in the church. He shook my hand warmly and said, “You’ll never be sorry for what you’ve just done.”I needed to hear that, because at that moment, frankly, I wasn’t really sure. It had been a difficult decision.Some of my dearest loved ones and friends weren’t happy about my choice. But here was this frail figure who’d been through it all, telling me I’d never be sorry.He was right. That was twenty years ago, and being inChrist means more to me every year. And if I’m neversorry in this life, can you imagine how thrilled andthankful I will be in eternity?Perhaps you’ve contemplated your own obedience toChrist, but have hesitated. Maybe you aren’t sure it’s theright thing. Let me pass on some words of wisdom,tested by experience---you’ll never be sorry you did theLord’s will and that you have the hope of life everlasting.Go ahead, my friend. There aren’t many things in lifethat carry that kind of guarantee. ---Copied---

Our group behaved themselves very well.I am so happy to be a part of the Lebanon Road family!I would like to once again thank the chaperones fromour trip.
