1. Referring to yesterday’s email entitled:

“Undue attention to a tragic pornography figure”

It is a shame this type of an article or articles aren’t on the front pages of the newspapers, but you will never see it.

3. A powerful movie being promoted by ministries and churches throughout America:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Walden Media, producers of The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe and Charlotte’s Web have created another masterpiece in the form of Amazing Grace, the depiction of William Wilberforce’s efforts to abolish slavery in England. Abraham Lincoln credited this Christian member of the British Parliament as a source of inspiration in leading America to end slavery as well. On Friday night, February 23, 2007, this new critically acclaimed movie, opens nationwide in over 800 major cities.

Amazing Grace also shows the powerful relationship between Wilberforce and John Newton, author of the hymn Amazing Grace. This movie presents an unprecedented opportunity to bring about racial reconciliation and encourages citizens to bring about societal change even in the face of insurmountable odds.

Walden Media has set up a website with resources
for churches such as Bible studies and has also made tools available
for educators as well at
http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/downloads.php

Please pass this e-mail along to your friends, family,church leaders and those involved in ministry.

4. The purchase of the church building

Our goal was to raise $210,000 before the closing date of March 22. We are now at $227,000 with other monies yet pledged. We have reached our goal. Debt-free – that God would be glorified. Our next hurdle is going before the zoning board for a variance to alter the purposes of the building to include offices. That meeting is set for tomorrow.
Our closing date is March 22 or perhaps even earlier.

We rejoice at what God has done and is doing. We have been overwhelmed at the sacrifice of friends.

==========================================
Let’s encourage one another and strengthen one another to be more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
