LAKE JUNALUSKA was a great time for our youth! We come back to you a
different group. We have experienced Christ in amazing ways and we hope to
share some of our times with our church soon.
We would like to thank the UMM, UMW Circle and parents for your donation
of gas money. We are so very blessed to have your support.

| CELL PHONE vs BIBLE I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like our cell phone? What if we carried it around in our pocket? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to get it, if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it? What if we gave it to the kids as gifts? What if we used it when we traveled? What if we used it in case of an emergency? This is something to make you go “hmmm”. “Where is my Bible?” Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone we don’t have to worry about being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think — where are my priorities? And no dropped calls! Josephine Minas, St. Mary’s Assyrian Church, East LA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

| TWAS THE DAY AFTER BIBLE SCHOOL Twas the day after Bible school and all over town, With a sigh of relief, we all settled down. Out to the golf course goes Dad in his cap, And home in the bedroom Mom’s taking a nap. Gone Cindy, gone Nancy, gone Zach and Luke, Gone Dianne and Liz, and Brona too. Gone stories, and puppets, and songs in the air, Gone paint under fingernails and paste in the hair. Rest sweetly, dear workers, and wake with good cheer, For Bible school won’t come again for a year. And as they drifted off, I heard them exclaim: “It was worth the hard work and we’d do it again!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Thanks to Rev. Mark Werner and his
wife, Donna from St. Matthews UMC for
donating their "Power Lab" supplies to
Marvin church. It helped us a lot and
the "Chadder" costume was a BIG hit!!
