STTIL - Have You Read It?

Are you reading or listening to the Speaking the Truth in Love talks? I ask this because my work at the church is impressing upon me more and more the necessity of Christians putting these principles into practice in the church, in marriages, and in other relationships. I am requiring all staff to read it and will teach it at staff meetings beginning in the fall. I've distributed copies to all church officers and about 300 copies have been picked up. If you have not read STTIL yet, please do so. You can link to the audio and print copies by clicking Speaking the Truth in Love on the righthand column.

The Shell Seekers

The Shell Seekers is the title of a delightful novel by Rosamund Pilcher, but the shells I'm referring to are a collection that Marion Clark brought to Philadelphia from Florida. Marion is seeking a new home for these shells. Any collectors out there? Please call Nancy at the church office.
