Precision-crafted
God engineered the human
body so our 206 bones, the
heaviest part of us, make up
only one-fifth of our weight.
Yet bones are strong enough
to protect and support every
other cell, bearing the com-
pression and tension we exert
through ordinary activities
such as walking and lifting
heavy items.

By comparison, wood snaps at
such impact. And steel, strong
enough to bear such force,
weighs three times what bone
does and would hinder our
movements. No other matter
strikes such a perfect balance
between strength and weight.

Furthermore, our bones are
hollow a big part of what re-
duces their weight and the
interior efficiently produces a
trillion red blood cells each
day.

With the psalmist, we can pro-
claim to God, I praise you, for
I am fearfully and wonderfully
made (Psalm 139:14, NRSV).

The Week at a Glance
To Tell the Truth
To prepare for a sermon on honesty, a pastor asked church members to read Joshua
25. The next week, he asked, How many of you read it? Half the hands in the church
went up.

Great, the pastor said. Youre the ones I want to talk tobecause Joshua has only
24 chapters.

WLBC Praying for ONE
COMMUNITY: SOUTHERN
EUROPE.
This project reaches out to an Islamic
minority group through the remodel-
ing of a village school that is in need of
repair. Workers also distribute food
and firewood or meet basic needs.
These efforts provide opportunities to
build relationships and share the love
of Jesus with the people in this village.
Ask God to move in the hearts of the
people to realize their need for Jesus
Christ. Workers also follow up by stud-
ying the Bible with those who are in-
terested. The hope is to see new believ-
ers form house churches.
Dollars and Sense
In Fearless, author Max
Lucado likens trusting in money
instead of God to trying to make a
purchase with play money. Pre-
tend bills from Monopoly or other
board games might look real to
children, but even kids soon learn
those dont do any good at the
cash register.
Sure, money is essential
to meet our basic daily needs, and
conventional wisdom urges us to
save for retirement. But thats a
far cry from seeking security in
accumulating things we dont real-
ly need and spending more energy
growing our financial accounts
than our relationship with God.
Pauls words to Timothy
still ring true in our modern-day
economy: As for those who in the
present age are rich, command
them not to set their hopes on
the uncertainty of riches, but ra-
ther on God who richly provides
us with everything for our enjoy-
ment (1 Timothy 6:17, NRSV).

Back To School
Early one morning, a mother woke her son, who whined about having to go to
school.
Give me two reasons why you dont want to go, she said.
Well, he complained, the kids dont like me, and neither do the teachers!
Nonsense, she said. Come get ready.
Give me two reasons why I should go, the son protested.
Well, for one, youre 52, she said. For another, youre the principal!

West Lynchburg Baptist Church Sunday School Quarterly Report/August, 2012

QUARTERLY MEETING TOOK PLACE ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 AT 5:30 P.M.

Mark 16:20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the
Lord worked with then and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied
it.

We want our Sunday School to be a missionary Sunday School in which we focus on people in
our neighborhood by finding prospects for each age/life stage whom we can invite to Sunday
School, discussing where we went and what we did for others each week, and through our Bi-
ble Study that we can show Jesus to others in deliberate and intentional ways through the Ho-
ly Spirit.

We have the following opportunities to show Jesus to others beginning in this Sunday School
year:
*What group of prospects could we add to our Sunday School with a space to meet and a teacher
to teach? *Which groups would be willing to host a morning or afternoon of Street Team to invite
others to Sunday School and to share Jesus with others?
*Which one of the following groups of persons would our Sunday School pray for Gods guidance
for a local missions project? College students, terminally ill persons, unemployed persons, newly re-
leased prisoners, homeless persons. The purpose of this local missions project would be to meet physical
needs but also spiritual needs as we are led by the Holy Spirit.
*Who can train us to bring our Sunday School into the 21
st
century by using technology such as
using interactive Bible games, group texting, updating emails and group emailing, skyping a Bible study
with others?
*Who is willing to shadow a Sunday School teacher and serve as a substitute teacher when
ready?
*Who will lead each age division (preschoolers/children; youth and college; adults) to have a fun
fall fellowship for inviting friends and prospects?
*Which groups will apply the Bible weekly, tell stories of salvation monthly, and pray daily that we
would be Gods Sunday School?

We will continue the conversation at our next meeting on Sunday, November 4 at 5:30 in the
fellowship hall.

Tom Yarber
