Martha,
Would you mind changing the title of my October 16 talk to simply
"What's Important?" I think of introducing time and money allocation
as a measurement of what is important to a person as kind of a
punchline, and I don't want to give that away in the title.
Encouraging people to think about what's really important to them is
the crux of the message.
Thanks!

RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER OF WORSHIP SERVICE
The Committee discussed and concurred that
* Wheel of Life/Joys for effectiveness, it needs to be carefully
introduced.
* The Committee supports the encouragement of donations during the
service and also recommends that BRIDGES incorporate a collection as
part of the young peoples classes. It would be good if they selected
a cause/purpose and then collected each week toward that goal.
