Quit griping about your church; if it were perfect, you couldn't belong.

If a church wants a better pastor, it could get one by praying for the one it has

Last Week:- Clergy Appreciation Day.   Guests included: Alex Coblentz, Louis Fawcett, Kenneth Lance and Brian Farmer; Chuck Williamson and Randy Kirby, Sherri Barnes, David Crook, Marvin Lindsay, Carl Sachtleben,
Stephen Morris, and Robert Lewis.  Also Members Bill Adams and Malcolm Bullock.

 Dr. Albert Aymer, President of Hood Theological Seminary spoke of its growth in recent years.
200 students enrolled & 35 students graduating this May. He stressed the importance of involvement with members
of the congregation in order to relate to the needs of the people. Highlighting his address was a reminder that pastors
cannot minister to people without personally knowing the God to whom they are pointing others.

 Other guests were Brad Walser and David Abernathy. Bob Chandler won the door prize, a pin flag from the Maui Open donated by Glenn Hudson. Civi-Trivi winner was Jason Walser who guessed correctly The St Louis Arch.

The View from Ronald Lacker:-   Brian Miller sent me this one for Clergy Day but I chickened out:- 
T Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get anyone to play  with them......
they decided it was because they had not  been baptized and didn't go to Sunday School.      
So they went to the nearest church. Only the custodian  was there.  
One said,  "We need to be baptized because no one will come out and play with us. 
Will you baptize us?   So he took them into the bathroom & 
dunked their heads in the toilet bowl one at a time. He said, "Now go out and play."
When they got outside, dripping wet, the oldest one asked, "What religion do you think we are?"  
 "We're not Katlick, because they pour the water."       "We're not Babdist because they dunk all of you."  
 "We're not Methdiss because they just sprinkle you."  
The littlest one said, "Can't you tell by the smell of that baptismal water what we are?...
...Why, we're Piscopalians."S

TThe gift for Janet totaled exactly $200.

 TON THIS DAY:- 1991: Two U.S. Stealth Bomber laser-guided
precision bombs hit an air-raid shelter in the middle class district of Amiriya,
5 miles from the centre of the Iraqi capital Baghdad; killing over 300 people.

CIVI-TRIVI
I am one simple word, but I mean different things
One of my meanings brings great forceful swings
The other of me may have curve like the first.
But only one meaning can help quench a thirst.
One of my meanings will often bring cheers.
Either of them could hold a few beers.

Don’t Forget!  SEEK Meeting next week! 
Bring somebody!
