Tipping Off

THIS SUNDAY
January 28, 2007
Bruce Davis preaching:
”WARS IN IRAQ”
We’ll be working from the 14th chapter of Genesis and the 7th chapter of Hebrews.
*
As mentioned in Wednesday’s A-Mail, the Lt. Colonel By Diamond video will be early in the service, so you don’t want to be late. There’s a lot of reason, these days, to get to church early. Leon A. is doing very creative work with the pre-service music, typically taking one of the praise hymns we’ll be singing later in the morning and giving it a new arrangement, often featuring The Horns Of Jericho.
*
UPWARD BASKETBALL AND CHEERLEADING tips off tomorrow (Saturday) morning. As I understand it, the first game starts at 8:00 and there will be games going on until 3:00 in the afternoon. We’ve got 240 children involved in the program this year, up almost 150% from last season. Figure in a like number of moms, dads, grandparents, etc. and you get a sense of the logistics we’ll be dealing with. We invite you to stop by and take a look!

NANCY D. announces: REAFFIRMATION OF MARRIAGE VOWS SERVICE will be conducted after the 10:45 service on February 11. All couples who would like to do this are invited to meet at the front of the sanctuary at that time. Nancy will lead the service.
*
Okay, the Roman name for Paris was Lutecia, not Lucretia. Lucretia was the Roman noblewoman who was violated, then killed herself, but not before getting her menfolk to swear an oath of vengeance that led to the founding of the Roman Republic. I get my Romans confused.
*
JOB OPENING: Facility Manager - all aspects of building and facility managment at infoUSA. Position to be filled immediately. Call Dan T. if interested.
*
Among the books I read on my recently completed trans-Atlantic flights was Sue Grafton’s “S Is For Silence.” If any of our readers have read this book, I’d be interested in asking you a question I would not want to pose here, lest it ruin the ending for those who are yet to read it.

Pastor Charlotte asks: Prayers for Loreen B., who has a broken wrist and many bruises, due to a fall (Mother of Teri Q.). Prayers for Sherri R., preparing for surgery on January 30th (friend of Shirley C.).
*
Genesis 18:23-26, Then Abraham came near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”
