Attention Juniors and Seniors…
If you signed up to go on the Prom alternative trip, I need to meet with you and a parent following services on Sunday morning.  The meeting should last no longer than 5-10 minutes.  Thank you very much!

Someone has composed the following “Top Ten” list of signs you may not be reading your Bible enough:
10)    The preacher announces the sermon is from Galatians...and you check the table of contents.
9)    You think Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob may have a few hit songs in the 60’s.
8)   You open to the Gospel of Luke and a WWII savings bond falls out.
7)   Your favorite Old Testament patriarch is Hercules.
6)   Your favorite Bible verse is “Cleanliness is next to godliness.”
5)  You become frustrated because Charlton Heston isn’t listed in either the concordance or the table of contents.
4)  Catching the kids reading the Song of Solomon, you demand: “Who gave you this stuff?”
3) You think the Minor Prophets worked in the quarries.
2) You keep falling for it every time when the preacher tells you to turn to First Condominiums.

And the number one sign you may not be reading your Bible enough:

1) The kids keep asking too many questions about your usual bedtime story: “Jonah the Shepherd Boy and His Ark of Many Colors.”
 
Have a Great Week!!
