The church with heart in the heart of the city.

Just Around The Corner...

Food for Thought Someone once wrote a letter to the local newspaper that said, Ministers seem to feel their sermons are very important, so they spend a great deal of time preparing them. Ive been attending church regularly for over 30 years, and Ive probably heard about 1,500 sermons. The awful truth is that I cant remember a single one! I wonder if a ministers time might be better spent on something else. That Sunday, a minister read the letter to his congregation and said hed be interested in any replies the congregation might wish to send to him. The following Sunday, the minister reported that hed received many responses, most of them expressions of indignation aimed at the anonymous letter writer. He thanked the church members for the responses but said he was most thankful for one in particular, which he then read to the gathering. I have been married for 30 years. During that time, I have eaten well over 32,000 meals mostly my wifes cooking but I cant remember the menu of a single meal. Returning The Favor Of course I can recall some of my favorite dishes, but not the menus. And yet, I received the nourishment from every single one of them. I have the distinct impression that without them, I would have starved to death long ago. (NEWSLETTER Newsletter)

ers room. Thinking that her mother was asleep, the little girl tiptoed into the room, quietly unfolded the blanket at the foot of the bed, and gently tucked it around her mother. The mother stirred, and then whispered, You know, it wasnt too long ago that I was tucking you in. And now youre doing it for me. Thank you. The daughter replied, Thats okay; around here we take turns.

Surviving His Darkest Hour Art Linkletter, the wellknown television star, author and lecturer, was dealt the most painful experience of his life when his youngschools, churches and other places about the danger and devastation of illegal drug use. By taking this positive action of helping others, Art found that his life began to change for the better. His faith in Christ was renewed. He prioritized his life so that he shared more of himself and After a period of mourning, Art decided to work against drug abuse so other families wouldnt suffer a similar fate. He embarked on a lecture tour throughout the United States speaking at his resources. He learned how to better deal with lifes crushing blows. By serving God and others, he discovered a new life of hope and joy.

After the Resurrection, the apostle Philip was on the road to Gaza when he came upon an Ethiopian official sitting in a chariot. The man, on a return trip from worshiping in Jerusalem, was reading aloud. As Philip approached, he recognized the words that the official was reading: Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter (Acts 8:32, NRSV). Philip knew they were the words of what Jewish prophet? A. Amos B. Micah C. Hosea D. Isaiah The answer is in Acts 8:30.
A Gift for Mom The three young children told their mother that she wasnt to lift a finger on Mothers Day. They were going to do all the cooking. So, they got out three pots, two frying pans, six measuring spoons, three mixing bowls, a double boiler, a chopping board and eight serving dishes. Mom said it was the best Jell-O she had ever tasted!
