SUNDAY'S ANTHEM TEXT
Make a joyful noise to God all you people, Make a joyful noise and sing. Come before the Lord with praise and thanksgiving, come and let the anthems ring. Know that the Lord is God and we are God's people. Come and sing a joyful song. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come and let us worship as we kneel before the Lord, praying with a humble heart. Enter the sanctuary filling it with praise, proclaiming: Lord, how great thou art!
BECOMING DISCIPLES MAKING DISCIPLES
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in number, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God! Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us. - Abraham Lincoln

HUMORESQUE
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 a.m. by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. "Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!" He slams the door and returns to bed. "Who was that?" asked his wife. "Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers. "Did you help him?" she asks. "No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning, and it is pouring rain out there!" "Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself! The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?" Yes," comes back the answer." Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband. "Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark." Where are you?" asks the husband. "Over here on the swing set," replied the drunk. [from Anita]
