2012   LENTEN MISSION TABLE!!!

    LAST YEAR WITH THE 4 IN 40 REDEAUX THERE WERE SEVERAL MISSION IDEAS THAT DID NOT GET ENOUGH VOTES TO GO FORWARD.  ALL THE PROJECTS WERE GREAT SO THIS YEAR DURING LENT WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SET UP A SPACE ON A TABLE TO PROMOTE A MISSION PROJECT THAT YOU HAVE A HEART FOR.  DURING THE FIVE SUNDAYS 2012 LENTEN TABLE MISSION WE WILL ENCOURAGE FOLK TO PARTICIPATE IN THEM. 

FORBIDDEN TREAT…..

My friends and I had joined a weight-loss organization. At one meeting the instructor held up an apple and a candy bar.

"What are the attributes of this apple," she asked, "and how do they relate to our diet?"

"Low in calories" and "lots of fiber" were among the answers.

She then detailed what was wrong with eating candy, and concluded,

"Apples are not only more healthful, but also less expensive. Do you know I paid 75 cents for this candy bar?"

We stared as she held aloft the forbidden treat.

From the back of the room a small voice spoke up . . .

 . . . "I'll give you a dollar for it."

MAY YOU ACCEPT ALL THAT GOD OFFERS YOU THIS WEEK…

FOR WHEN HE OFFERS…HE BLESSES

SEE YOU SUNDAY!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!!
