Good morning, it is Saturday, March 1st, and like most of us I am so glad to see this month arrive as it brings us closer to the end of winter. I've heard more comments this winter than any other in years about folks being tired of the cold, the snow and the ice. The good news is that tomorrow promises to be a great day weather wise and every other "wise" as well. It is Founder's Day at Edgewood - the day we remember the very first meeting of that small group who met on the site of the former Farmall Plant and eventually organized into what became the Edgewood Baptist Church. That meeting occurred in 1901, 107 years ago. Tomorrow's celebration will include the giving of the New Testament on CD to every adult attending and a children's' CD to every child sixth grade and under. You will be blessed by these CDs as you listen to the Bible reading in your car or home. The CDs are provided free by a group of Christian businessmen who have a burden to see the Bible read regularly by every believer. We will receive a special offering to enable the Bible to be available in another of the world's languages. Special envelopes are located in the pews for this offering. We are excited about tomorrow's services which will include a gospel message entitled, The Simplicity of Salvation. It includes a powerful testimony at the end; I hope you won't want to miss it. Lord willing, I'll see you there.
