"Where the SON always shines!"
"And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah."
I Kings 17:16

By Harold Wiley

William Lewellen figures the money his congregation has used to restore the Temple Of God (it used to be Trinity United Methodist Church) at North West I and Hunt streets is like the handful of meal that was constantly being replenished in the story of Elijah and the poor widow.

The congregation set out on Sept. 1 to make the vacant church useable again.

"We started buying materials as we needed them, and by the end of the month, we'd spent $1,200. But our bank account was the same as when we started. It was like the handful of meal in the widow's barrel. It never ran out. The money must be the Lord's supply. We decided then that it must be God's will."
