Schedule stuff:
High School PLEASE check your calendars for Saturday April 25th and Saturday May 3rd before coming to church Sunday night. We have the Rebuilding Together workday in Sheboygan April 25th and a possible mission opportunity here in town on May 3rd, and we really need to see what kind of groups we would have.
Middle School: Reminder that next Wednesday, April 22nd, you are hosting Senior Appreciation Night, and will be meeting from 6:00-8:00 in the fellowship hall. To help us provide a nice meal cheaply we are asking 6th graders to bring a main course, 7th graders a side dish, and 8th graders a dessert. If you cannot be there that night we would still really appreciate your food. We need each dish to serve 8-12 people and they need to arrive no later then 6:00pm to the kitchen.
I totally had one of those "we're not in Kansas anymore" moments last night. We're in a series called Old School Good Guys, and we're looking at different people from the Old Testament that we can learn practical things about how to live a life of God from. Last night we talked about Abraham, and looked at his willingness to sacrifice Issac (who he had waited until age 100 to have) for God. Now, I pretty much took for granted the audience had heard the story before, so I didn't feel the need to warn them that the outcome was good in the end (as Moses does in writing the story). Well, I of course forgot that about 1/2 our crowd is un-churched, and the looks of horror of their faces were priceless. I think they really though God was going to have Abraham kill his little son. It was just a cool sight to see students engaging in a Bible story for the first time, and really getting something out of it.
