Volume 91

Isaiah 6:5-7 - And I said, "Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!" Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said, "Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed, and your sin is blotted out."

In-home Communion

Once a month after our in-person communion service at church, we'll be delivering communion to our homebound members.

If you want us to bring communion to you, or you know of someone who would like to receive Communion at home, please contact Sandra Rose at (972) 768-0468 or email her at: amma.sandy@icloud.com

Welcome to the "Joke Box"

• People think "icy" is the easiest word to spell. Come to think of it, I see why.

• My teachers told me I'd never amount to much because I procrastinate so much. I told them, "Just you wait!"

• Comic Sans walks into a bar. The bartender says, "We don't serve your type here."

• Want to hear a roof joke? The first one's on the house.

• What should you do if you're attacked by a group of clowns? Go straight for the juggler.

• What washes up on very small beaches? Micro-waves.

• I got my husband a fridge for his birthday. His face lit up when he opened it.
