Announcements
Michael
Pollan—he's
speaking at the Tivoli tonight. If you are interested in food
issues (where your food comes from, what local eating and healthy
eating look like in this present day, or corn sex [yes, there is a
whole chapter about it in one of his books]), the speech is free to
attend. If you haven't read his books, they're very good. The
Omnivore's Dilemma and
In
Defense of Food are
both worth reading.
Sunday

check out a prayer service this Sundy evening @ 6:00 in the McMillan
Building. It will be a service of healing and wholeness lasting
approx. 30 minutes.

you have any interest at all in being involved with some sort of

touch with her.)

Recommendation
Radical,
by David Platt, is one of the most challenging books I've read in
years. It takes the American Dream head-on and forces you to examine
exactly how you live out your faith.

for Sunday, April 22
Luke 24:36b-48
36While
they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said
to them, “Peace be with you.” 37They
were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a
ghost. 38He said to them, “Why
are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?39Look
at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see;
for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I
have.”40And when he had said this, he
showed them his hands and his feet.
41While
in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to
them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They
gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and
he took it and ate in their presence. 44Then
he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I
was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of
Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45Then
he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46and
he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer
and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47and
that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his
name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You
are witnesses of these things.
