Just a Thought
A critic is one who knows the way but can’t drive the car
Our journey is slowly reaching its end. This Sunday
is the last Sunday of the message from Ordinary
People and we will be learning about another
ordinary person in the Bible. This journey has taken
us from people who were called by Jesus to become
greater than themselves to others who saved entire
nations with God’s incredible transformation of their
lives.
This next Sunday in our series, we will continue
learning of how God transforms ordinary people into
doing extraordinary things through the story of David.
As this journey took us from Peter and John,
foundations in the early church, Esther, who saved
her people, and Zaphenath-Paneah who interpreted
dreams to help his family and the Egyptian people
survive drought, we will find ourselves engulfed in the
tale of David, the small boy who took down a giant
Wednesday, March 1, is Ash Wednesday and it begins

fast meal at 6:00 pm. Then there will be a service of
reflection and imposition of ashes at 7:00 pm. All are
asked to participate in the "fast" in some way. It can
