E-Flash From Dan, What's Coming 5/20/12?

Dear E-Flash Friends;

Do you ever sit around wondering what’s going to be happening at church this Sunday?  Yep, that’s what I thought.  Me, too!

Well, I invite you to click on the link below and listen to the podcast in which I’m joined by Vic to provide some details about the great services this Sunday—including the Youth Bake Sale AND the Soup Cook Off after the 11 o’clock service.

I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Love and blessings,

Dan

P.S.  Thank you, again, for your prayers for Art Serenas.  We truly believe that our brother in Christ has experienced a miraculous intervention from God.  We continue to get good news on the progress that he is making.  The situation remains serious and we still ask for your prayers, but we definitely have cause for gratefulness and praise!

Dispatch From Another Closed Caption Soup Cook-Off

Imagine hundreds of competitors coming together with some of the best soup recipes on planet earth and vying for millions of dollars in prize money, while tens of thousands of fans look on in rapt attention, at the “Closed Caption Youth Group 2^nd Annual Soup Cook-Off”.  Can you picture such an intense and exciting scene in your mind?  Good.  That means you have an outstanding imagination.  And it means that you are capable of seeing things that have never occurred.

But that’s okay.  We didn’t need hundreds of competitors and we still had lots of excellent soups to sample.  (In fact, it’s 8 o’clock at night and I’m still full, I probably won’t eat again until Tuesday or Wednesday…. Um…you believe that, right?)  And we didn’t need millions of dollars in prize money, we had the pure thrill of simple victory for the winners! 

(Note:  You wouldn’t have wanted to win a million dollars, anyhow, would you, Diane?  Simple pleasures in life are so much better, right?)

It was a terrific day!  And the “Closed Caption Youth Group 2^nd Annual Soup Cook-Off” was a great success.  Thanks to all those who attended.  And a special thanks to all those who submitted their soups.  They were outstanding!  And an EXTRA SPECIAL thanks to all those who showed up and ate.  Cooking contests are so much better when there are people present to sample the goodies.

You know what?  I realize that it’s not Tuesday or Wednesday, yet, but I’m going to go ahead and have something to eat, after all.

….Has anyone ever heard of deep fried Twinkies?

Soup Cook-Off Winner, Diane Hayes.

of course, God.
