    ByRosemary

    Acts 5:   So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.

    Revelation 5:  "To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever."

    John 21:  So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something."  So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish.

    Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence, south side, Plano.
    Sorry for a mess of this bulletin. Computer glitches. Better next editiom.


    Readings: Leviticus 13, 1-2, 44-46, The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall cry out, "Unclean."; Psalm 32, I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation; 1 Corinthians 10, 31-11, 1, Do everything for the glory of God; Mark 1, 40-45, If you wish , you can make me clean.

    1. Information on Rosemary. Her left elbow is healing well, according to the doctor. He showed us the number of screws he needed: nine! Plus a plate.
    2. To hear an excellent contemporary theologian March 17, check this out, Download MICHAEL MORWOOD 1-27-12 . The Community can help pay your cost if needed.
    3. From Bill Hammond, a spring break volunteer opportunity in Alabama:
    As you know the tornado that went thru Tuscaloosa and Birmingham Alabama last April left a swath of destruction almost 200 miles long. Many of the larger communities have received help in cleaning up and reconstructing over the last 9 months. There are some areas North and West of Birmingham that have not received much help and need assistance.
    Bona Responds is a volunteer group mostly of students from my Alma Mater St Bonaventure University in Western New York, that go out on their vacation days to assist in the rebuilding in these areas. The next trip will be during their Spring Break February 25th thru March 2nd in Walker County Alabama. They were there in early January this year and found such a tremendous need that they are going back over their Spring Break.
    They need some adult assistance and I am planning on going for several days (TBD based on everyone’s availability) to help and I’m looking for others that would like to join me. I plan on driving my suburban and if we need more room we can take other cars. The accommodations are to be determined but most likely in a local church. Meals may be provided by the locals and if so the expense are very minimal. The work ranges from minor repairs to construction so there is something for everyone’s skill level. All that is required of you is a positive attitude and a willingness to help out. Please give me a call or send me an E-Mail and let’s discuss supporting this effort. If you know of anyone else not on this E-Mail that would be interested please pass it on. Thanks
