First, it's supposed to be colder this weekend in Phoenix but our church will be nice and comfy. Feel free to let me know if your church is nice and comfy, too.
Second, we are told the donuts here will be really fresh.
Third, perhaps your favorite football team is in the playoffs this weekend. You need to pray for them (not that God cares in the least).
Fourth, if you're a Cardinals fan, you know we need a quarterback fast. You need to pray about this (see above to ascertain God's interest in this matter).
Fifth, the government may be shut down but God will continue to provide His gifts of forgiveness of sins, peace for troubled hearts, assurance of His love and the promise that heaven's gates are wide open for those who die in the Lord (aren't we glad that heaven is not under the control of the US Congress!).
Sixth, Starz' is having a free weekend of programming. But I've checked out the list of programs and movies and there is nothing worth watching. Come to church instead.
Seventh, did I say the donuts would be fresh?
I could list more reasons but you get the drift, right? Join us at LICL - today at 5 pm and tomorrow at 8, 9;30 and 11 am (by the way, the response to the new 9:30 service has been very positive. The combination of liturgy and modern Christian music seems to be a good mix - check it out!)
God bless your weekend!
