Remember that we are meeting this Saturday
February 20, at 7:30, in the Welcome Center. The Great Commission
Consultation is also this weekend (for several people, beginning at 9:00),
but our meeting will not be in conflict.
Speaking
of the Consultation, this Sunday February 21 we have our special consultation
team here and we will have a report time at 1:00 pm. Remember there is a
free lunch provided for those staying for this report meeting.
Painting
the Second Floor: Would you step up to the plate and help paint the
second floor of the educational building? Set aside March 5-6, and check
out the bulletin board to sign up. We need about 30 volunteers... from
classes, the King's Carpenters team, and the Men of Steel to make this
happen.
If
You're BINDing: Keep up your good work! We are now over halfway toward
our goal. If you have gotten behind or never took the challenge, it's time
for a fresh start. The New Testament reading begins on Day 68, which
is on
March 11, 2010. Consider taking the challenge of finishing the New Testament
before Easter.

Rebellion occurs when oppression reaches a
level that we can no longer tolerate in good conscience. It occurs when
our vision for extraordinary living is more compelling than our urge for
