The love of Christ should control the Christian; but

many times that control is surrendered to people, pos­

sessions, hobbies, entertainment, and anything else that

distracts from God's purpose.The team's series of four skits

dealt with some aspect of what people allowed to control

them when they were not fully surrendered to Christ.

of Dr. Melissa Cancel,

performed in a variety

drama team was a great success.
