TNL Edition XI


Dear Brothers and Friends of Nicodemus:

Prep for Edition XI is complete, and all that's left is for you to show up and enjoy the food,  fellowship and conversation tomorrow at noon.  By the way, lunch will be from Panera; if you'd like a specific sandwich, fire me an email  (prdunklau@gmail.com). As you can see (below), we're ramping up all things masculine tomorrow -- and we'll enjoy a smidge of good jazz from Chet Morton and Stan Getz.  More tickets for Friday night's Mexican Supper (in support of Denton Christian Preschool and held in FPC's Erwin Hall) will be available for purchase:  $15 per adult; $10 per child.

SPIRIT:  Excerpts from "Manvotionals"
MIND:  Intro to the "Manly Virtues"
BODY:  A Lenten "Stretch"

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau

P.S. For participants who do not regularly worship on Sundays at FPC, my sermons are available at http://prdunklau.blogspot.com -- also known as "The Straightforward Pulpit".
