Hymn-Story Program. Tonight we are

reviewing the music for a special hymn

service on the life of John Newton. This

special service of worship will be pre-

sented September 25 during the morning

service. It is a dramatic hymn-story pro-

gram that will include a narrator and 2

characters portraying John Newton and

Polly Catlet, the young lady who be-

comes John’s bride.

Tonight marks the beginning of re-

hearsals for the hymn-story program to

celebrate Church Music Emphasis Sun-

day on September 25.

Help with publicity. Please help me

publicize the hymn-story program. You

can log onto the church website:

www.fbcpinebluff.org and download the

poster from the “Music Ministry” page.

The Adult Handbell Ministry is need

of some more ringers. If you have always

wanted to ring bells, this would be a

great time to join us. We meet every

Monday evening at 6:00 p.m. in the Bell

Room. Our first rehearsal is August 22.

Christmas Music 2011. Final planning

for the Christmas music is coming to a

close and I am very excited about what is

developing. I will be sending out a letter

soon, to those who have sung in our

Christmas presentations in the past.

Please be in prayer as to whom who

might like to invite and share with them

what a great opportunity it will be to

come and check us out! I will have more

information for you next week!

Prayer Partners. Prayer Partners are

needed for the 2011-2012 Children’s

Choir Ministry. Just like last year, we

will pair up a child with an adult in the

Music Ministry to pray for the child dur-

ing this choir year. This would be a

“secret” to the children. Please see Erin

if you would like to participate.

This special ministry within a ministry

will start September 4, 2011.

New Bibles in Choir Loft. I noticed

many of you using the new Bibles last

Sunday. They have been provided for

your use and need to stay in the choir

loft. Please say a word of thanks to the

anonymous donor for their contribution.

You using these Bibles will enhance and

elevate the importance of God’s Word in

our worship service.

We were created to CONNECT,

SERVE, and SHARE! STILL TENTATIVE

Question: Where does the asphalt go

from a pothole?

Scripture: Isaiah 35:8-10

* * * *

L et’s talk road maintenance. We’ve

all seen those rubber reflectors that

are embedded in the road. They invented

in 1934 to help drivers stay on course at

night, and they’re referred to as “cat’s

eyes.” Inside the rubber casing is yellow-

colored glass that attracts the light com-

ing from a car’s headlights. Cat’s eyes

are basically maintenance-free for two

reasons. First, the rubber case is used to

protect the glass from cracking when a

tire rolls over it. Second, the cat’s eyes

are designed to be “self-cleaning.” The

pressure of a tire pushes the rubber case

against the glass eye, and the rubber

moves across the glass, wiping it clean.

Potholes, however, another story. They

can’t take care of themselves. They’re

cause mainly be moisture that is ab-

sorbed by the concrete: add to that the

freeze-thaw cycle, traffic wear, and

chemicals, and soon the pavement crum-

bles from within. It’s easy to figure out

how potholes are filled up, but how are

potholes emptied out? Where does all the

asphalt go that used to be in the pot-

holes? It’s a combination of conditions

that removes the broken asphalt. Vehicle

tires scatter it, rain carries it away, and

wind pushes it onto the road shoulders.

And what about those manholes? Why

are the covers round, instead of square or

oblong? No matter which way it’s

turned, the round manhole cover can’t

fall through the hole; it’s kept in place by

a lip rimming the inside of the hole.

So What? As you travel daily on patched and pot-

holed roads, keep this glimpse of the

road to heaven in your head:

“A main road will go though that once

deserted land. It will be named the High-

way of Holiness. Evil-hearted people will

never travel on it. It will be only for

those who walk in God’s way; fools will

never walk there. Lions will not lurk

along its course, and there will be no

other dangers. Only the redeemed will

follow it. Those who have been ransomed

by the Lord will return to Jerusalem,

singing songs of everlasting joy. Sorrow

and mourning will disappear, and they

will be overcome with joy and gladness.”

—Isaiah 35:8-10, NLT

Keep Jesus as your destination, and

you’ll travel on with confidence!
