A Message From the Pastor
Archeologists recently discovered a nearly fully extant copy of a Grangeville Christian Church newsletter. In spite of moderate calcification, and some indication of apparently high levels of prior use, most of the content of the ancient and now nearly forgotten newsletter was still readable. In the course of their studies of the long-lost documents, experts sought to piece together the story of how the newsletter ever came to be lost in the dusty cobwebs of used-to-be and long-far-ago. The scientists indicated that the forensic evidence strongly suggests that the newsletter used to be a monthly production. The best guess as to its apparent demise is that the office support staff became disoriented as a result of eating too many chocolate glazed donuts while chit-chatting. There were indications that the senior pastor, which the document reveals was a gentleman named Harold Gott, had sought to prevent the loss of this clearly important organ of communication. However, the experts believe the evidence supports the hypothesis that he was simply unable to overcome the donut-induced delirium of his staff. (You know how it is when people get that glazed-by-donuts-faraway-look, and these girls definitely had it.) Out of respect for the ancient document it was sent to the Smithsonian for preservation. Okay, so it wasn't the result of overconsumption of chocolate glazed donuts. It was a series of other unpreventable events that were not nearly as much fun as the donuts would have been. Here's the deal: basically, WE'VE BEEN SWAMPED! Every week we have the world's best intentions of producing another edition of our nearly-award-winning newsletter...and every week we end up needing to devote our efforts to other vital ministry endeavors. One thing led to another and, well, you never received a newsletter. And we're sorry. (To which my wife will usually reply by saying, "You're not sorry...you're pathetic!" Here's my plan of response to deal with the complex and concerning problems associated with the dormancy of our newsletter.
And there you have it, a surefire solution for saving the Grangeville Christian Church newsletter!! And now, after reading this article, you can see why they pay me the Big Bucks. Somebody has to think about the Real Big Issues...and that's just what I've done here. God Bless You Real Good...Clear Until the Next Copy of the Newsletter Arrives! Pastor Harold |
3:16 • The Numbers of Hope • The message of 3:16
A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same.
Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment,
yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
