<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">We choose not to make a statement either in favor
of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you
have found that light bulbs work for you, that is wonderful. You are invited to
write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with
your light bulb. Present it next month at our annual Light Bulb Sunday Service,
in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including
incandescent, LED, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are
equally valid paths to luminescence.</FONT></DIV>
