Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn away
this day from following the Lord. Joshua 22:29

Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not
neglecting to meet together. Hebrews 10:24-25

Divine Guide, our heart's desire is to love, serve, and follow you. Stir
us that we may gain a glimpse of understanding today. Speak to our
hearts and assure us of your love. In Jesus' name we pray

"O mankind! We created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know and honor each other (not that you should despise one another). Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous." Chapter 49, Verse 13   Quotation from the Qur'an

News Items, Future Speakers and Other Important Information:

NEWS FLASH.... our own Walt Howell receives a "1-2-3 Gold Key" from PA Kiwanis Governor Ethan McBeth at the Mid-Winter Convention held Mar 5-7 at Hershey, PA.  Walt was "surprised" when he received his "1-2-3 Key" for bringing in 3 new members to Kiwanis.  His new members were the advisors for the 3 Easton Kiwanis Sponsored Youth organizations at Easton School District.  And with his new "1-2-3 Key" he will receive special privileges at the Kiwanis International Convention this summer at Las Vegas.   

Mar 3: Capt likes to mix up our singing but we have been able to follow pretty good.  Welcome to Robb King, Outside Sales Rep with Gianni's Inc who turned in his check and application today and also to Barb Kowitz, Dir of Development Northampton County Historical & Genealogy Society who was attending to learn more, and she did.  After the meeting I got her check and application also.  So WELCOME to our two newest members.  Also, welcome was in order to TEAM Lt Gov Kathy Heller who paid us a visit.  Kathy refers to the Easton Club as a "model of a great Kiwanis Club!"  Thanks Kathy, and I asked, does our club need "glue" to continue to be a "model?"  Capt Isaiah gave us three acrostics today (usually Kathy's job) to be used as we progress with acquiring new members for the Club Satellite: LISTEN, TEAM and PLUS.  The best letter of all is the very last one: "S" which stands for "Serving Children Worldwide!"  Our First Graders READING TO CHILDREN in the Easton School District begins tomorrow: see below for the upcoming dates and find a morning to help.  I promise you will be rewarded with smiles.  Joanne reported from her husband "Thanks for all the cards and calls from Kiwanians after his heart attack last week."  He was very impressed by us.  Maybe wee can get him to join and they can "carpool" each week.  Joanne also has the Super Raffle tickets: our primary fundraiser.  Wilbur gave us a lesson on how to "spell" Lafayette: something about basketball.  Did you know that in college he was the Lafayette Leopard and a cheerleader?  April 14th will be SKIP-A-MEAL and the program will be at the Salvation Army and we will all pay the same, but NO FOOD.  Capt Isaiah introduced our speaker, Pastor Tim Ackley from Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church on College Hill.  His presentation today was "The Impact of Small Groups on the Church and Individuals."  How do small groups affect the lives of individuals and the congregation?  He believes in three areas of his church's mission: centering on God's word; community involvement; grace & mercy ministry.  Large communities all filter down to small groups eventually.  We all have our close circle of friends; our small group.  In one way or another we all exist to support and help each other in small groups.             

Reading to children starts now.
The distribution of Personalized Books for First Graders in the Easton Area School District begins next week.  Below is the date and school.  You need to arrive at the school office by no later than 9:15AM.  It should take about a hour or so at each school.
