Hey Y'all! We just finished supper (left overs from our Super Bowl supper) and I've STILL got 2 loads of clothes to fold. One is in the dryer and the other is patiently waiting in the washer. I got a late start to my duties and had a number of calls from church.
Our church is going to rent out the movie theater and give free tickets to see The Passion of the Christ! A few of us have been invited to attend a screening hosted by Ephesus Baptist and then we'll have a refresher on how to lead the lost to Christ and work with those wanting to recommit themselves to the Lord.
Also, our Minister to Students and Youth has asked me to be one of the group redesigning our church website and to edit, clear any prayer requests before they are posted. We don't want information given out that isn't approved by those needing prayer or for it to be a gossipy type prayer board.
Get this.... Our Minister of Education and Administration said the new Insurance Rules taking effect in just a few months will put restrictions on Sunday School teachers, Children's Church workers, etc. to include only those who have been church members for over a certain amount of time, without exception! We have lots of folk moving into our area who have been in church and involved with kids for YEARS. We already do criminal background checks and check references on all child workers! I hope this doesn't hurt the smaller churches who need all the help they can muster.
