- Nazarene: 6 One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
- Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

The Life of Elisha
His Character and Beginnings: Playing Second Fiddle
Elisha was a farmer; he was plowing with a number of companions, himself with the 12th plow. Elijah, on his way from Horeb to Damascus, found Elisha, and threw upon his shoulders his mantle – a token of investiture with the prophet’s office and of adoption as a son. Elisha accepted the call, and delaying only long enough to kiss his father and mothers and give a farewell feast to his people “arose and went after Elijah and ministered unto him” (I Kings 19:19-21). This was appx. 856BC.
Today’s Sermon
The Word of God Psalm 147
So God ministers His Word continuously. The creation gets no rest from the attention and exertions of the Word of God. He ministers it comprehensively. All of creation is the object of His ministry. And He ministers His Word constructively, with a view, especially, of building His Church to the measure of the statue of the fullness of Jesus Christ

Scripture Reading
Psalm 147:3-7
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: He casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
