Invitation
You are invited to a special Short-term Missions sharing on Friday (8^th). This year, our missionaries were sent to the Native Americans in Arizona and to Taiwan. You will hear their testimony. We will also be sending a team to Japan next month.

You are also invited to join us for our annual church picnic on Saturday (9^th). Just like last year, we will be having the picnic at Shadow Cliff in Pleasanton. All are welcome. It starts from 11:00 to whenever you feel like leaving the park.

On the Light Side—jokes to have a laugh
Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while, he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. “Fine,” said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.” “Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.”

A minister questioned a six-year-old: “So your mother says a prayer for you each night. Very commendable. What does she say?” The little boy replied, “Thank God, he’s in bed!”

A couple with three children waited in line at San Francisco’s Pier 41 to purchase tickets for a boat trip to Alcatraz. Others watched with varying degrees of sympathy and irritation as the young children fidgeted, whined, and punched one another. The frazzled parents reprimanded them to no avail. Finally they reached the ticket window. “Five tickets, please,” the father said. “Two round trip, three one way.”

The minister gave his Sunday morning service, as usual; but this particular Sunday, it was considerably longer than normal. Later, at the door, shaking hands with parishioners as they moved out, one man said, “Your sermon, Pastor, was simply wonderful—so invigorating and inspiring and refreshing.” The minister, of course, broke out in a big smile, only to hear the man add, “Why, I felt like a new man when I woke up!”
