Let's Remember the Zodhiates

Kathie's birthday is Thursday, November 7. Please bless her by sending a birthday card with a word of encouragement. Please also consider taking the time to write a note to Philip. He has not been receiving many cards or letters recently. If you don't know what to write, he enjoys receiving updates on your families and what you have been doing and learning. Continue to pray for the Zodhiates. The civil trial in Vermont continues to progress and begins December 2.

Which Guy will you be?

On Sunday, we compared the two "guys" Jesus talked about in Luke 18. Jesus compared a Pharisee (religious person) to a tax collector (humble worshipper).
