March 2009 Fellowship

Church Yard Cleanup - March 21st 9am

There's nothing like a cool breeze, warm sunshine and a little physical labor to make a person really enjoy life. We all have an opportunity to experience that joy on March 21st. Meet us at the church at 9am. There will be ferilizer to spread, weeds to pull and probably a variety of plants to plop in the ground.

Our goal is to spend just a few hours in the morning sprucing things up. Remember the following week the potential new pastor will be visiting, so we want things to look nice. Besides, this is a good opportunity to be good stewards of God's blessings in our lives. It will only cost a little sweat. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if you found some donuts, juice and coffe out there.

By the way. You will need to bring your own gardening tools if you have them. It will be easier than using your fingers.

See you all at 9am on the 21st.

Barley

We hear a lot about the barley harvest in Ruth. They actually harvested barley and wheat, but the barley came first - as early as April in some places. Barley was used as food for: horses, mules, donkeys and.....the poor. Here are some interesting ways barley was used:

Making bread (II Kings 4:42; Ezekiel 4:9)
A jealousy offering (Numbers 5:12-15)
The price of an adulteress (Hosea 3:1-2)
The price of a lewd woman (Ezekiel 13:18-19)
An expression of low rank and poverty (Judges 7:13)
