Turkey Festival

Check this website about a big Turkey festival next weekend in NYC.

Ben "Seinfeld" Carter

I don't know. Luke Urish alerted me to Ben Carter winning a Jerry Seinfeld imitation contest. Is that something to be excited for or a cause to inquire about his spiritual state? You decide. Here's the news from The Inquirer. (I never get in The Inquirer).

Car still needed!

A family of four, who partner with us in Southeast Asia, will be arriving in early July. They need a car to use for a few weeks while they look for lodging and a car of their own. If you have one you can make available, please contact the Global Outreach office.

GA Twittering

Someone is twittering (tweeting?) General Assembly. I've been trying to find info about webcasting, but have had no luck. Here is the website. If you find more info, let me know. So here's a twitter(?):

Dr. Phil Ryken of Tenth Pres in Philadelphia is elected chairman of the Overtures Committee. Bruce McDowell is there, as well as Paul Tripp.

Pew Advances

Did you know that all of the pews have been refurbished? It happened over the weeks leading up to PCRT. You can sit in any pew without praying that it will not collapse. Now, an added feature is being installed this week. No, not coffee cup and water bottle holders - communion cup holders in every pew! Worshippers Sunday evening will be the first to try them out at communion service.

As Servants of Christ

The text to yesterday's sermon on Ephesians 6:5-9, "As Servants of Christ," is now available. If you want to read or listen to the previous three sermons covering the roles of husbands and wives, and parents and children, click here.
