Dr. Frank Schulman's sermon topic is "Sentimentalism." Dr. Shulman says: "Sentimentality is a literary vulgarity involving the excessive use of emotion. It's sort of a petty crime in grammar. Yet its opposite, coldness of heart, is worse. Let's think about sentimentalism, so valuable that life without it is a mistake. In religion it is everything."
Ancient Reading: Exodus 3: 1-6
Modern Reading: "Sonnet 29" by William Shakespeare

Sunday, January 27:

Other News:
Melissa Morphew was in the hospital with pneumonia in December. She is feeling much better and wishes to thank the fellowship for the flowers sent to her.
Also hospitalized for surgical procedures were Kelley Sigler and JoAnn Harper. Both are recovering and doing well. They also appreciate our care and concern.

Book Review:
Ann Staples recently read I Thought My Father was God and Other True Tales from National Public Radio's National Story Project. Paul Auster did the editing and wrote the introduction. If you listen to NPR, you may have heard some of the stories. They are worth hearing and worth reading.
