Of Proverbs

Well, I am excited about a personal milestone. This morning I completed chapter 29 of Proverbs. Most of you know I am writing a daily devotional on every proverb (see A Proverb a Day link on righthand column). So far, I have made 596 postings with the help of Paul Duggan and Joel Garver. Two more chapters to go, which should be completed before the end of April, three years since beginning.

Dessert Night

The Sunday evening dessert nights, originally scheduled for the next three Sunday evenings, are being consolidated to one evening, April 6. To sign up, contact the church at 215.735.7688.

Friday Concert with David Kim

It's not too late--You can still make plans to come to the Delaware County Christian School Benefit Gala tomorrow night at 7:30!

A Night to Remember features David Kim, the concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra and a DCCS father, along with several DCCS alumni and students. David will be joined by violinist Richard Amoroso, also of the Philadelphia Orchestra; soprano Charlotte Daw Paulsen; and pianists Martha Mingle and Jeffrey DeVault. The exciting, family-oriented program features music by a variety of composers from at least three continents. Children will surely be delighted when David and Richard perform Alan Ridout's musical version of Ferdinand the Bull.

Tickets are available for a $25 tax-deductible donation. The concert will be held at DCCS, 462 Malin Road in Newtown Square.

Initiative Against Human Trafficking Training

Human Sexual and Employment Trafficking is becoming a huge international and national crisis and probably even in Philadelphia. Victims are transported either by coercion, fraud, or force, and kept involuntarily: either for sexual or employment purposes. The Salvation Army is at the forefront in fighting trafficking and rescuing its victims. In Philadelphia, The Salvation Army wants to join this fight, and is proud to sponsor this training.

The training is April 16 – 18 (Wednesday – Friday), 9:00–4:30, at the Pioneer Corps, 1920 E. Allegheny Avenue, 19134 (Kensington), close to Market-Frankford Line, Allegheny stop. You are invited to join Salvation Army Officers and employees in attending. You will learn how to identify and help victims, and fight trafficking.

Cost is approximately $150 per person. Some partial scholarships available. To register, contact John Shookowsky at 215-787-2801, or at jshookowsky@use.salvationarmy.org by April 4. Registration is limited. For questions or to request scholarship help, contact Dave Langford at 215-787-2802 or at dlangford@use.salvationarmy.org

Under Care

Last night the Session approved to recommend Nick Batzig to be received under care of Philadelphia Presbytery. Coming under care is the first step a man takes in the formal process of preparing for the ministry. Nick was actually already under care in his previous presbytery but now is switching to the one here.

Other Tenth members who are under care are: Bernard Aubert, Maranatha Chung (planting a church in the Chinese community in Northeast Philadelphia), Andrew Duncan (also Tenth intern), Luke Herche (Tenth intern), Trey Holloway, Chris Seah (Tenth staff), Brian So (assisting in New City church plant), and Moses Wong.

GO Luncheon Sunday

ESO Offering

We have received over $90,000 for the Easter Sacrifical Offering. Usually more donations come in for a couple of weeks after Easter, so we still hope to reach the target of $100,000.

World Travelers Return

Cora is back from her three-month sabbatical. She gave a moving report at today's staff meeting about the gospel movement in Cambodia. Bruce and the team to Liberia returned last night. He reported on the work of the team and progress of the orphanages. The church they attended and taught in celebrated its one year anniversary on Easter. Bruce had been at their first service and preached at this one, including baptizing thirteen new believers.

DiGangi Remembered

I've posted remarks given at Dr. Mariano DiGangi's memorial service at the Tenth Messages site.

Sweet Desserts

One of the more unique event ideas for the Capital Campaign is a series of desserts to be held on three Sunday evenings in Center City following the evening service. They will each feature Phil and Paul (Tripp) presenting their vision for ministry, I think specifically in the city, and no doubt how the campaign projects fit in with that vision.

If you have been looking for an opportunity to have a personal discussion with these men about the church and ministry in the city, this is it. The first dessert is this coming Sunday, March 30. The next two will be April 6 and 13. You must sign up to attend, due to space limitations. Each dessert is held in a Tenth member's home in walking distance of the church. Contact Nancy Hala, the church receptionist, at nhala@tenth.org or 215.735.7688x221. (Tell her Marion referred you!)

Sunrise Service in Sanctuary

Sunrise Service will be in the sanctuary this morning at 7:30.
