EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY

Please join us for Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. when the Rev. Lee Lowery will celebrate the Holy Eucharist. We are asking everyone please to wear a mask. The service will be live streamed on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ EpiphanyTallassee/ For more informa- recently read one of his books and was struck by a story he told. A counselee revealed she grew up feeling worthless. She traced her inferiority complex to her father whose most oft-spoken comment to her as a child was, “You are stupid.” This lady came to believe what her father told her. His terrible comment cemented itself to her brain.

In Proverbs King Solomon noted, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Prov. 18:21). Our words have capacity to uplift, to encourage and to inspire. But our words also have power to tear down, to discourage and to depress.

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

“We are OPEN and everyone is WELCOME! Come worship with us in person Sunday mornings at 8:50 a.m. (contemporary) or 11 a.m. (traditional). Sunday School for all ages is offered Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., and a nursery is available for infants. CHILDREN & YOUTH: meet fairly insignificant or humorous things people said that have stayed with us over the course of our lives. And sadly, we can remember caustic words people have spoken to us that grieved our spirits.

King David agreed with his son when he prayed, “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips” (Ps 141:3).

We need God’s help to use our words constructively.
