- Presbyterians: None, Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
- Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.
- Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Today’s Sermon
Philippians 4:14-23
A Joyful Farewell
The letter closes with the astounding idea that we are to rejoice no matter what the circumstances and to give God glory regardless of our poverty or our abundance. How can Paul ask us to do this, when we are hurting so bad? Because even in those dark days, as Paul stood in the house in which he was jailed and chained to a Roman soldier, and as he hugged Epaphroditus and they said a tearful good-bye, he knew that God had believers even inside the Roman government.

Scripture Reading
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Phil. 2:9-11; Acts 4:12
