THIS IS OUR CHURCH
I want it to be a church that is a lamp to the path of pilgrims; leading them to goodness, truth and beauty. It will be if I am. It will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do a great work, if I work. It will bring other people into it’s worship and fellowship, if I bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and love; and a church of a noble spirit if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these. Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all these things that I want my church to be.Rev Kevin Needham, Minister
PASSED NOTE A nearsighted minister glanced at the note that Mrs. Jones had sent to him by an usher. The note read: "Bill Jones having gone to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety". Failing to observe the punctuation, he startled his audience by announcing: "Bill Jones, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety".
Thanks go to Pastor Tim for this joke ... see http://www.cybersalt.org/entertainment.
