MAKE IT AN INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT! "RECALL NOTICE"
(Posted September 3, 2010)
RECALL NOTICE:
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has
been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect. The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into
the heart component.
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes. WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!
- GOD
P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'!
Because He Lives!
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com , you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!
Prayer Concerns are listed and available on the table in the vestibule. Please take one home and remember our church family and friends in prayer.
In case of inclement weather watch for our church’s announcement on WBTV and WSOC.
BREAD
Perhaps you have noticed that there has been freshly baked bread available in the foyer after the service on Sundays for the past few weeks. This bread is to share with our guests. One of our members has begun baking this bread to share each week and any that we don’t give out on Sunday has been delivered to members and friends during the following week. If you are a guest and would like a loaf of bread, please accept it as a gift from us. If you know of someone who’d benefit from a loaf of home cooked hospitality, please take a loaf to share in the name of Christ.
FLOWERS
If you would like to place flowers (live or silk) on the Lord’s Table on a special Sunday, please sign the flower calendar on the wall by the pastor’s study. If given in memory or honor of someone, or a special event, please let Wraye Rhyne know so that we may note the special occasion in the bulletin.
Thank You, The Flower Committee
