REVISED VOICE POLICY
Effective March 19, 2009
The Editorial Board of the VOICE has met to re-evaluate its
Editorial Policy. We determined that we needed to be firm in our
requirements for submission of material for all upcoming issues.
Because of high traffic during the season, space in the VOICE
becomes limited. This can necessitate reducing the size of articles;
our current limit is 350 words. Space limitations may require cutting
an article; therefore it should be written with the most important
information at the beginning so it can be cut from the bottom up.
Articles are due in the Activities Office by Noon on the due date;
it is preferred that they be submitted by email to voice@ssvhoa.com
with the subject including the word VOICE and a Microsoft Word
2003 or earlier file attached. Submitting a Word file will eliminate
retyping errors. Please include the full name of the person writing the article
plus a telephone contact number for our questions. Any photos to be included with an
article should be submitted separately in a .jpg format and not be embedded in the article;
this ensures clarity of the picture.
Deadlines are going to mean just that, a deadline. NO MATERIAL RECEIVED
AFTER THE PUBLISHED DEADLINE WILL BE ACCEPTED. If material will not
be available at the deadline or there are any unanticipated changes, the Editorial Board
must be notified with the expected due date. This information should also be addressed
by email to voice@ssvhoa.com. Further, NO ADDITIONS will be accepted after the
material has been given to the publisher. These rules are to assure that we have a finished
paper on schedule.

VILLAGE VOICE OF HOPE
Pastor Milt
A commentary of
our present generation
might read like a news
headline, “Stress Related
Factor the Cause”. The
truth of the matter is we
find a reason for anything
we do in a negative form
and blame it on stress.
The most operative
word available and at the
tip of our tongues is the
word “stress”. Stress has
a negative reactive force
behind it. Mr. Webster
defines stress as being
“a force that strains or
deforms”. Pressure and
tension, mental or physical,
appears to enter our
lives at varied seasons of
life with great force and
often brings deformity.
The good news, not read
in any headline but packed
with release and contentment,
is that God is eager
to give you His operative
instrument of peace. Words
spoken to us by the Son of
God are a powerful guide
and gift of assurance and
are found in the Gospel of
John 14:27: “Peace I leave
with you; my peace I give
you. I do not give to you as
the world gives. Do not let
your hearts be troubled and
do not be afraid.” To that I
say a hearty “Amen.”
Peace is the release
of stress. Stress forges
its way into our spirit and
mind which affects our
bodies. Is it any wonder
there is so much pain and
ill health? Stress deforms
and strains emotions, wills
and purposes. Proverbs, a
gathering of real life realities,
reads in 14:30: “A
heart at peace gives life to
the body, but envy (and
stress) rots the bones.”
Well said and a truthful
result of allowing stress
that comes from envy and
strife. The peace Jesus
offers is not what the
world offers. His peace
is within you, a force that
removes stress.
You are welcome to
attend Springs Chapel
Worship every Sunday
at 9 AM in the beautiful
Springs Auditorium.
Messages and music of
the Prince of Peace are
faithfully taught and experienced
in worship.
Join your neighbors and
friends and be blessed
with peace.
