Christian Leaders
(Part 5)
Biblical Leadership’s With Humbleness
By Pastor Ted White

What does a Christian leader have that he did not receive? Actually, that could be asked of anyone who claims to follow Jesus. It can even be asked of those who do not acknowledge Jesus. So many people think they are “self made” and do not acknowledge that what they have comes from God. We should be thankful, humble and not unappreciative or prideful.

Our attitude should be like that of the Lord Jesus as mentioned in Philippians 2:5-8. He is our example, His Word is our guide. In this section we are told that Jesus’ very nature is God. Yet, even as great as He is, He made Himself nothing. He took on the very nature of a servant, was made in human likeness and appeared as a man. Jesus, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, humbled Himself. He did not come as a great King from the world’s perspective, though He is King of kings. He did not come looking for people to serve Him, but instead He served the very creatures He created! Man is so puny compared to Jesus who is so majestic, grand and awesome with all power and authority. Humbleness?

He showed us what it is when He allowed men to kill Him by crucifixion and all that entailed. The resurrection declared He was the Son of God(Romans 1:4).

Christian leaders, Biblical leadership, should have the same humble attitude as Jesus. All that a leader and all others have, they have because God gave it to them. There is no place for pride, we are in no way self-made. Pride is self-focused, humbleness is others focused. Most assuredly, a humble person will be a person who serves without having to be recognized. If they are recognized, they will acknowledge that it is only by God’s grace that they are what they are.

What does it mean to be humble? Need to be saved first! Go to  www.newhopenorthwood.com or call 942-7729 or to find peace with God http://www.billygraham.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp or  http://www.simplysharejesus.com/

CBNA FBLA Announces Award Winners

Seniors Caitlin McGann and Kaitlyn Maloy pose after receiving honorary FBLA Awards.

The Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America is pleased to announce that seniors Caitlin McGann and Kaitlyn Maloy recently qualified to receive honorary FBLA sashes which they wore at recent graduation ceremonies. In order to attain this honor, students must prove that they have met the eight stringent requirements for eligibility. Each student must be an active FBLA Officer anytime during the high school career, must have attended at least one meeting a month, must have attended the fall Leadership Workshop or the Spring Leadership Conference during the senior year, must have attended at least one social event during senior year, must have participated in at least one fundraiser during senior year, must have participated in at least one civic/community service event during senior year, must have been inducted into the CBNA FBLA/PBL Chapter and must have received at least a ‘B’ average or above in all business classes taken.

Recipient Caitlin McGann has been in FBLA since her sophomore year  She held office positions all three years and ran activities such as the St. Patrick’s Day flowers, David’s House collection, and running the FBLA table for the incoming freshmen registration night.  She won the FBLA Who’s Who last year.

Recipient Kaitlyn Maloy has been an FBLA member since her freshman year and has been an officer all 4 years. She has been FBLA president for the past two years and has not only attended almost all the Fall Leadership Workshops and State Conferences each year, but has chaired many of the professional, service, civic, fundraising, and social events. It has been clear that her enthusiasm and commitment has helped our chapter win Honorary Chapter Awards for the past two years and she has won the FBLA Who’s Who this year.  These two young ladies join an elite group of three other students attaining this honor in the past twenty years for CBNA’s FBLA Chapter. Chapter advisor Joanne Zylak congratulated these two students at a recent school assembly and said that these students will be sorely missed as they head off to college.

Letter

To the person or persons who find it necessary to steal from the gravesite of my mother in the Pine Grove Cemetery, I want you to know that it takes a very big person to steal from the dead. For two years now, I have placed floral arrangements and personal trinkets on my mother’s gravesite.  For two years now, those items have been stolen. The first time I chalked it up to kids needing a gift for their mother on Mother’s Day, but it became obvious that was not the scenario when it happened several more times. This year, I again placed flowers and a solar light on her grave for Memorial Day and upon visiting 10 days later, I find once again they are missing.  It is hard enough losing my mom without having the added grief of knowing that someone is stealing from her grave. I wonder how the person would feel if it were their mother’s grave that was being disrespected time and time again.

If there is anyone who has any information regarding these stolen items from the Pine Grove Cemetery, please contact the Northwood Police Department. If the person who has stolen from my mother’s grave is reading this, I ask that you please stop and allow me and my family to mourn the loss of our mother in peace.

Respectfully,
Nancy Wilson Tasker

Summer Reading Sponsors

Whether you are “Setting Sail,” “Making a Splash,” or “Making Waves,” Summer Reading is an important event at the library and in your child’s life. At the Chesley Memorial Library we encourage our area’s youth to read and enjoy the many benefits that the library offers over the summer.

As part of our efforts to draw youth to the library we will be offering numerous special events throughout the summer. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the library isn’t able to offer what we have in the past. With your help, the library can continue to offer quality programs and events free of charge for all of Northwood’s youth. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and may be tax deductible if through the Friends of the Northwood Libraries. Unless otherwise specified, all donators will be featured in publicity for Summer Reading and in Northwood’s Town Report.

Reading throughout the summer benefits students; it helps them to retain skills learned during the school year. We hope that you will consider joining the Chesley Memorial Library in our efforts to support our area’s youth. Donations may be mailed to the Chesley Memorial Library, 8 Mountain Avenue, Northwood, NH 03261.

For more information on donating to the Summer Reading Programs please call the library at 942-5472.
