Hey, are you wondering what the “No Talent” Talent Night will be about on Friday, January 27?
Invite your family and friends to come for a fun, laughter-filled, one of a kind “talent show”. It will start at 7:00 p.m.
Please bring along a container with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, etc. After each “act”, you will vote with coins. The goal is not to be the BEST act but the WORST act. If the act is pretty good, a few pennies or nickels would be appropriate. If the act is R-E-A-L-L-Y bad, perhaps a few loonies.
As at any good show, popcorn and pop will be available to snack on (for a couple bucks). Refreshments will also be served at the end.
There is no admission fee … but you’ll need to pay $2.00 to get out at the end of the evening!
The “winning” act (remember, the WORST one!) will win a splendid prize.
All the money raised will go towards the Bolivia missions trip.
 To register YOUR act in the "No Talent" Talent Night, contact the church office.

Bringing
People Into The Caring Community Of Christ
January 25,
2012 - "Respecting The Office?" Edition

Hello
ComBappers:
On Monday, Boston Bruins goaltender,
Tim Thomas, refused to go along with his Stanley Cup Championship
team on their visit to the White House to visit with Mr. Obama,
the President of the United States. This is an annual
tradition for US teams that win the Cup (Canadians teams to meet
the Prime Minister) and, up until Monday, had never had a
"conscientious objector" before. Mr. Thomas is, apparently,
a right winger (no pun intended), and he didn't want to legitimize
the left wing government now installed at the White House.
Needless to say (but I'm gonna say it anyway), this has become the
topic of choice for bloggers, twitterers, facebookers, news
commentators, and coffee rowers. Some are saying "good
for him", and others are saying "he is rude". He's actually
the only US born player on the team... and he didn't go.
I admit that I would have gone regardless of my politics. In
fact, had I been born in the former USSR, I would have gone to
meet Brezhnev...or Gorbachev. Hey, had I been born in
Uganda, I would have gone to meet Idi Amin. (Granted, pulling a
stunt like Tim did in that environment might have lead to him
losing his head). It's not that I'm not standing up for my
beliefs... I just think it would be cool!
Christians often face a similar dilemma when trying to live a
"right" life and not condoning things that are immoral. I've often
been asked things like "can I meet a friend in the casino"? or
"should I go to that wedding even though I don't think they should
be married"? or "should I talk to my neighbour even though he
might think I approve of his drug addiction"? Far too often
we decide to disassociate from activities or from certain people
for fear that we will, somehow, be supporting sin. It turns
out that, more often then not, we just end up coming across as
classless, angry, and petty... just like Mr. Thomas.
Don't be like Tim!
Joell
PS. GO Canucks!
