A Weekly Newsletter for The Sanctuary Choir of First Baptist Church
2 Rehearsals Left!
This is the second of three rehearsals left in our
preparations for “The Wonder of Christmas” to be pre-
sented on December 19, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
As we come into the “home stretch,” I want to
take this opportunity to thank each of you for the job you
have been doing in our rehearsals. I recognize the long
hours you have been giving up, and I know how tired we
all are. If we continue to focus and keep going we should
be able to present this music with much more confidence
and from the heart. That will give us time for a well-
deserved break from rehearsals from December 22 to
January 5, 2010.
Please understand that all we need to do is focus, focus, focus. This time of
year becomes very hectic and busy. I want you to know that I do not, in any
way, want to upset you or degrade the work that you have put into this pro-
gram, so far. My intentions are to help us be the best choir we can be and
aid in giving our “excellence in all things, and all things to the glory of
God.” That is our ministry motto and our goal for which we should strive.
I appreciate your hard work and devotion. The contributions of each choir
member are crucial for our success in this presentation. Let's continue to
work hard and look forward to sharing the good news that Christ is Born!
Serving Him together,
The Pine Bluff Community Band
and the Musical Coterie will present
“The Music of Christmas” on
Thursday, December 9, 2010 at
First Baptist at 7:00 p.m. Admission
is Free and open to the public.

STILL importance stuff (Revised): TONIGHT, December 8—Rehearsal in Sanctuary
From now until the presentation, we will be rehearsing in the Sanctuary. This will give us
a chance to see and hear how we will sound and get us lined up in the choir loft.
Sunday, December 12—Memories of a Merry Christmas
This service will be led by The Keenager Khoir and The Sanctuary Bells. It will take place
in the Fellowship Hall as part of the Church-wide Christmas Banquet. Please be in prayer as
these choirs continue to prepare.
Wednesday, December 15—The Narrator will join us
We will do a complete run-through with Win Trafford in the Sanctuary.
Saturday, December 18—Dress Rehearsal (3:00-4:30 p.m.) This is a very important rehearsal for the Christmas program. We will be putting the
final elements together. Please make sure you are in your place on time and ready to go.
Sunday, December 19—The Wonder of Christmas This is the big event. The one we have been working towards and preparing for. I will
want you to be here at 5:00 p.m. for a final “walk-through” of the program and a group pic-
ture. Program begins at 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, December 24—Christmas Eve Service: Love’s Pure Light This service is a drama in which candles will be used to represent the characters in the
Christmas story. It will include congregational carols and a soloist. My prayer is that it will be
a meaningful time for our congregation as we experience again the Light that has come into
the world. A Light that we cannot fully comprehend or extinguish.

Question: Does spinach really
make you strong?
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10
In the old Popeye the Sailor car-
toons, Popeye ate a can of spinach and
immediately had superhuman strength.
Parents told their children to eat their
spinach so they’d grow up strong like
Popeye. It’s true that spinach contains
iron, and our bodies need iron because it
builds red blood cells. But spinach does
not contain an especially large amount of
iron. The body doesn’t even absorb all
the iron that is contained in one serving
of spinach.
Other foods like enriched breads,
lean meats, whole-grain cereals, and liver
are just as beneficial in providing iron for
your body. In fact, to get all our iron
needs from spinach alone, we would have
to eat our weight in spinach every day.
Why did spinach get such a “strong”
reputation? In 1870, a food percentage
table, or chart, was published, and many
people read it. It compared the health
benefits of different foods. The decimal
point for spinach, however, was in the
wrong place. The result of this mistake
was that spinach seemed to have ten
times more iron than other vegetables.
The error stuck in people's minds, and
spinach became thought of as the vegeta-
ble for strength.
So What? It’s amazing that people will be-
lieve, without question, that a vegetable
can make them strong, yet doubt whether
God can. God, in fact, is the only one
who can make us truly strong. The Bible
says:
“Your strength must come from the
Lord's mighty power within you.”
—EPHESIANS 6:10, TLB
The next time you're feeling
weak, fuel yourself by opening the Bible
instead of a can of spinach.
