Notes from Sunday Worship
Notes from Sunday Worship – July 14 – Sunday school – Teacher – Seth Crouse – 1 John When you study the apostle John, you understand that he didn’t just “arrive” at loving people. At one point he wanted to call down fire on his enemies. Now he is saying if you don’t love people, […]
Bible School
July 8 – 12 I went early enough to get a few pictures of class rooms and the decorated doors. The topic for this summer was “The Incredible Race” One Family, One Race, One Savior. Registration. Each child must be registered. It is always interesting to see the Bible school class rooms. It is most […]
Birds of the Week
This Gray Catbird was relaxing one morning – on one leg. I turned on the patio light for better lighting – It changed its coloring a bit. The mourning dove was searching for seed on the ground. The hummingbird looked pretty in the evening sunshine. I hadn’t seen a red-bellied Woodpecker for awhile. I never […]

Sunday Worship Notes
Sunday, July 7 Sunday school – Superintendent – Rol Longenecker “Pass the salt, please.” We are salt. The church is salt. The Bible is salt. Bible “salt” pulls out the flavor in others.

I read that mules are good for doing something like this because they are cautions with their […]
Sunday Worship Notes
June 30 Sunday school – Teacher Kevin Longenecker – The Beatitudes Does my attitude cause bad attitudes in others? We try so hard to be in control, but how does God’s way fit into us wanting to be in control. The rewards of a good attitude are far better than the rewards of a bad […]
