“And what about Mary?”

A priest was walking along the cliffs at Dover when he came upon two locals pulling another man ashore on the end of a rope.  “That’s what I like to see,” said the priest, “a man helping his fellow man.”

As he was walking away, one local remarked to the other, “Well, he sure doesn’t know the first thing about shark fishing.”

Good Friday morning!  I hope this finds you doing extremely well. 

We are currently in our “Souper Bowl of Caring” drive.  We are asking everyone to donate food or money that will benefit the Bridge City-Orangefield Ministerial Alliance.  This will finish up on February 2^nd, which is Super Bowl Sunday.  On that Sunday The Melton Family Singers will be with us for the AM worship service and there will be a Super Bowl party here at the church that evening.
