THE CLASS OF 1981 THEME SONG VERSE ONE A calling on our hearts brought us all together here. A longing in our souls has drawn us ever so near. And the love between us grows and grows, the kind of love that only He knows. We'll all work together here and then we'll all go home. VERSE TWO VWth the future in His hands and His blood on yesterday, we'll find the strength to stand within this present day. And His Spirit in us grows and grows. We'll teach His word. We'll show His love. Going into all the world, obeying Christ's command. CHORUS And we'll preach the Name of JESUS wherever we may go. Working in His kingdom, so that others this truth may know. And we'll look for that city, walls of jasper, streets of gold. And its Builder and Creator, who is forever and of old. Words and music by Debra Blizzard

S. G. Norris There are many benefits included in the Pentecostal experience besides the assurance of full salvation, lt clears up questions that have confused Bible lovers for centuries. lt is a blessing for anyone to make peace with God, and it is also very en- couraging to have unsolved doubts made under- standable. EXAMPLE: THE LAW OF MOSES For fifteen hundred years, honest-hearted Jews tried to find the answer for salvation through various laws given by God to Moses at Mt. Sinai. There were many such instructions to be obeyed through repentance and the sacrifice of clean animals. How- ever, there were really five main offerings. The Burnt offering was practiced for consecration. The Meat offering represented a willingness for extra service. The Trespass offering was a graduated offering depending upon the status of the offerer and his desire to get right with God. The Sin offering was to make right, wrongs against a fellow- man. Finally, the Peace offering which was the best of all, expressed an appreciation for the Lord's goodness. This was shared sometimes with friends as a testimony of gratitude. These im- portant offerings were the chief expressions of Israel trying to make peace with God and man. 6 There was one more the Day of Atonement This was the nearest the Law could offer as a visible expression from the Lord, that their sins were forgiven. Once a year, on this day only, the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies. He sprinkled the blood of the goat on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. Here only, could he witness the appearance of the gIory cloud called the Shekinah. This cloud confirmed to Israel that the sins of those who had offered sacrifices throughout the year were forgiven. The sad part was, that all of this had to be repeated year after year, always hopeful of a better understand- mg. THE QUESTIONS OF THE LAW MADE CLEAR Acts chapter two: When the Day of Pentecost was fully come - that marvelous day was like a New Testament Mount Sinai! Heaven kissed the earth! The curtain finally lifted as to what the Law represented. The one hundred and twenty faithful followers of Jesus, including the Apostles and Mary the Lord's mother, were all filled with the Holy Ghost. They were filled, not just by faith, as important as that is, but with the evidence of speaking with other tongues as a heavenly lan- guage. The Shekinah of the Day of Atonement
