The musicians come from all areas, active duty, retired personnel to dependents, civilians, and friends, all whom share a commons interest in performing with their musical talents.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY, JULY 15TH BRILL CHAPEL 9:30 AM
THE WIDOW AND THE UNJUST JUDGE
LUKE 18:1-8
As of the time this was written, there were at least a dozen “judge” shows airing on North American television. Their popularity is traced to the launch of The People's Court in 1981. The formats are often the same: judge presides over certain types of cases, listens to evidence presented by each side, and issues a ruling. Usually these programs last a half hour and feature two cases; thus each case is wrapped up in a little under 15 minutes. Not so the legal drama of this week's lesson! Our lesson text features instead a drawn-out process in which two people having entrenched viewpoints engage in a contest of wills. It may remind us of the old conundrum “What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?” Jesus used this parable to call attention to important truths concerning our relationship with the ultimate judge, the judge of judges, Almighty God. Our own Fretta Moore will bless us on the piano at 9:15 am. You don't want to miss it. Burrel McNaught will lead us this Sunday.
VESPERS THURSDAY, JULY 12TH 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker will be Rev. Keith Newman, President of Southern Nazarene University, Bethany, OK.
VESPERS THURSDAY, JULY 19TH 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker will be Rev. Jamie West Zumwalt, Sr. Pastor at Valley Brook Vineyard Church and CEO of Outrageous Love, Oklahoma City. 6

EPWORTH VILLA LIBRARY NOTES: HOW TO LOCATE MATERIALS IN THE EPWORTH LIBRARY— FICTION BOOKS area shelved in alphabetical order by the last name of the author. This includes regular and large print volumes. Readers preferring LARGE PRINT books will find a BLUE DOT at the top of the spine on most of those books. PAPERBACK BOOKS are shelved in alphabetical order by the last name of the author. BIOGRAPHY BOOKS are shelved in alphabetical order by the last name of the person the book is about instead of the author. The reason is so that all books about a certain person will be shelved together. NON-FICTION BOOKS are in subject order, according to the Dewey Decimal System. Hopefully, this will assist readers in finding the books they want. Epworth is fortunate to have this library and all residents are encouraged to use the library. Just sign your name and the date, including the year, on the check out card and drop it in the box on the desk. Returned books can be placed on the desk or in the drawer of the desk. NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE BOOKS FROM THE METROPOLITAN LIBRARY SYSTEM. CONTINUE TO SIGN YOUR NAME ON THE LIST LOCATED ON THOSE SHELVES.
