THIS SUNDAY
March 18, 2007
It’s Not A Time Change Sunday. It’s Not a Spring Break Sunday. It’s Not Likely To Be A Snow Sunday. It’s Not A Three Day Weekend. It IS the Fourth Sunday In Lent and we hope you’ll be with us as Nancy preaches: "THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON."

MAUNDY THURSDAY WORSHIP SERVICE: “WERE YOU THERE?”
A collection of poems and paintings presented by The Reckless Abandon Players.
Thursday April 5th 7pm. This collection of poems will be presented in the form of monologues about people who were with Jesus the week before his crucifixion. It will be accompanied by an art show in the Rotunda featuring local artist Paula Wallace, whose work is used in the drama. We will, of course, share the sacrament of Holy Communion in remembrance of The Last Supper.

We’re behind on reporting worship counts. On March 4, we had 749 people in the various services, with another 122 kiddies in church school. Time Change Sunday, the 11th, the report is 717 & 190. Speaking of kiddies, I understand Sunday’s puppet troupe from Ogallala was a big hit.

I’m feeling better today. The doctor gave an antibiotic that surely helped. This leads to yet another reflection about the Rainbow Network and San Andres. Before Rainbow came along, a lot of these communities never saw a doctor or prescription medicines. There’s no Walgreen’s in San Andres. San Andres is a circuit traveled by a physician. He brings with him a couple of large tubs of medicines. I just stuck a pharmacy picture on the web site: www. standrewomaha.net. Hit the San Andres link and look under the picture of the Rainbow doctor. Our big celebration is planned for Sunday evening, March 25, 7:00.

TRIVIA NIGHT RESCHEDULED. Let’s try again! The weather really messed up our originally schedule date so we’ll try another one. Trivia Night is now scheduled for April 21 at 7:00 P.M. If you were registered for the cancelled one, just let us know if you want to keep that registration or if you are canceling. IF you did not register for the cancelled one and would like to register for this one, we hope you will do that. As before, if you register prior to the 21st the cost is $5.00 per person. IF you just walk in that evening the cost is $10.00 per person.

Proverbs 19:1-2, “Better the poor walking in integrity than one perverse of speech who is a fool. Desire without knowledge is not good, and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.
