  The sermon this morning: “Jesus Walks on the Water.” The sermon tonight: “Searching for Jesus”.
  Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
  Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say “Hell” to someone who doesn’t care much about you.
  Don’t let worry kill you off – let the Church help.
