SECOND COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND April 7—Parish Maintenance Fund

 

 

SUNDAY SMILE

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he goes.'

 

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK

Adults: What are my thoughts about Jesus’ Resurrection? What are my hopes and expectations about the resurrection on the last day?

Children:  What will heaven be like? Who are all the people I want to be with in heaven?
