| From Pastor Jim | |
Dear Friends,
Step Up Youth Mission Camp was a huge success! 38 of our children and youth and 11 of our adult leaders involved with making a difference right here in our local area. During the week, they focused on helping out with local mission organizations; Heart for Homeless of Clay County, The Mercy Network, Green Cove Springs Food Pantry, and Sea-Mark Ranch.
This week, we our K through 5th graders are at Kids Camp at Camp Montgomery and Conference Center. Keep them in your prayers.
God is GOOD! ALL the time!
Your pastor and friend...

This Weeks Funnies
| |
Fitness - I was walking to lunch with my friend Tristan and discussing the need to start an exercise program. A mutual friend, Chris, joined us on the walk and after listening to Tristan and I talk about fitness, Chris said, "I'm exercising every day."
"You're exercising?" we asked. "Daily?"
"Yeah!" he replied. "I swim after work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. And I run on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
We stopped walking, and I asked Chris, "How long have you been doing this?"
"Oh, I don't start until next week!" he replied
__________________________________ Tax day - April 15 - was looming when an elderly
woman showed up at my desk at the IRS. She said
she required a thick stack of tax forms. "Why so many?" I asked.
"My son is stationed overseas," she said. "He asked
me to pick up forms for the soldiers on the base."
"You shouldn't have to do this," I told her. "It's
the base commander's job to make sure that his troops
have access to the forms they need."
"I know," said the woman. "I'm the base commander's
mother." ________________________________________
Prayer is not asking for what you think you want,
but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine.
________________________________
A cantor, the man who sings the prayers at a synagogue, brags before his congregation in a booming, bellowing voice: "Two years ago I insured my voice with Lloyds of London for $750,000." There is a hushed and awed silence in the crowded room. Suddenly, from the back of the room, the quiet, nasal voice of an elderly woman is heard, "So what did you do with the money? ____________________________
