What important matters are being dealt with in our
churches?
The church bulletin says there will be a meeting to
plan the church-wide
supper.� We are raising money to put a new floor cover in the
kitchen. (The
old one doesn't match the new stove and refrigerator.)� The sermon
subject
last Sunday was "How To Have A Positive Attitude."� We
are organizing a
softball team.
At a meeting of church officials a program was
announced to recruit new
members.� We need the new program because we are losing
membership.� The new program was worked out by some of the very top
professionals, people who have had success in gaining new members for
the Lions Club, the Civitan Club and other organizations.� We
really need professionals to do the job.
Sometimes blasphemy comes unnoticed.
