Becky Bowman
&
Ben Wert
will be serving in Africa - and we can help! They will work on various projects with several different groups, and see many needs. Each Outatown student is raising funds to go into a common pool. Then the Outatown students decide, as a group, which projects need money, and how to spend it. Becky has asked our church to contribute: "the Outatown program is a perfect opportunity to study, learn and SERVE. "Your support would be greatly appreciated. Love, Becky". Church Council encourages you to designate some extra money in your offerings on Jan. 23 and Jan. 30 to "Outatown". This will be passed along to the Outatown program. 100% of this money will be used for the service programs - not for the student expenses or for Outatown (or DMC) administration. Thank you for your timely support. on there way to South Africa

Signs in front of Churches

Tithe if you love Jesus! Anyone can honk.

K-mart isn't the only saving place!

The wages of sin is death. Repent before payday!

Pearly Gates

A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses this guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, of Noo Yawk City."

St. Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The taxi driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Calvary for the last forty-three years."

St Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi driver, and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?"

"Up here, we work by results," says Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."

WHALE OF A STORY!

A little girl: was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human
because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher: reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human;
it was physically impossible.

The little girl: said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, " What if Jonah went to hell?"

The little girl: replied, "Then you ask him".

Do you go to church?

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.

The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"

My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."

Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?"

He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service.
