Here is a blurb from Mark Batterson from his book “IF.” The logic may be a little convoluted, but the point is a very timely one!
For four decades, Art Fry worked as a researcher in the new product development department of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. One of the perks of working at 3M was the not one but two golf courses on its 475-acre campus. The powers–that-be at 3M were wise enough to recognize that recreation is part of creation.
Art Fry was on the back nine of the Red course when a chemical engineer named Spence Silver mentioned a new adhesive he had developed in the lab ~ microscopic balls of acrylic that formed a weak bond, leaving no residue after being repositioned. Neither of them could think of a single use, until five years later. Art Fry was singing in his church’s choir when the piece of paper he was using as a bookmark fell out of the hymnal. It was Art Fry’s what if moment. I’m not sure what hymn they were singing, but it led to the invention of the Post-it note.
Here’s a counterfactual for you.
What if Art Fry hadn’t joined the choir? Well, who knows how many things you would have forgotten because the post-it note wouldn’t be there to remind you!
My Point? Join the choir!
Choir will be starting up at the end of the month. We would love to have more voices singing to the Lord. Basses and sopranos are especially needed. Talk with Susan if you are interested, or just show up to practice! Hope to see you there.
With love, Pastor Scott

Here at SRBC we collect a Fellowship Offering on the 3rd Sunday of every month. This offering is used for emergency needs and financial assisstance for those in need. This has been a great ministry of our church through the years, and we just want to remind you that we are continuing to collect this offering. There is a basket marked Fellowship Fund on the communion table, or you may send in your offering specified as Fellowship Fund. We still focus on the offering on the 3rd Sunday, but you may give at any time.

In our rich nation, many eat from dumpsters. Only a few purposely choose the wandering lifestyle. Hunger and poverty are often temporary setbacks, inflicting real suffering to be sure. If a family or individual can be fed, given clothing, and be exposed to the Word of God, it can be a decisive change point in their lives.
The kind of charity commanded of us by God is not wishful thinking. It is applying boldness and truth through prayer, service, and gifts. We seek to encourage Christ-like relationships and present Christ in all we do.
Cities have a concentration of the most needy because that’s where food, shelter, and activities are readily available. Some are victims of job downsizing, generations of poverty and ignorance, and chronic shortages of love and companionship.
Children having babies, single parent families, elderly and lonely, and outcast teens can fall through the cracks of government programs. The Gospel Mission is located where the need is great, yet the fields are ripe for har
