PREACHER'S REPORT: THIS WEEK TODAY
Pastors, have you ever been sailing through a Sunday morning only to be derailed by a parishioner's mention of a national event you had no idea occurred? Sunday School teachers, have you been carefully molding both young minds AND homemade plad-dough only to have a kid throw a question at you about a pop culture reference that you have no reference for? General populace, would you like to be more educated about what's happening in the world AND how your faith relates to it?
