Pastor's Comments... Isn’t it ironic? As of the moment I write this, the 110th Congress of the United States Government has been in session 270 days, 9 hours, and 38 minutes. In that time 497, 078 children have been born in this great nation – WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE! And though Congress is trying to remedy that, we have a President who declares he will veto any bill to provide insurance coverage to these children, insisting it would be “the start of socialized me dicine” in America. What utter nonsense! What is Medicare and Medicaid? Only the most successful and efficient medical insurance programs in the world today! …but also “socialized medical insurance coverage.” Who advocates the dismantling of Medicare and Medicaid? Well, that’s a very good question, isn’t it. I grow weary of the use of emotional buzz words used to hijack rational discussion of important issues. Our children are the future of this nation. They deserve to not be robbed of their future! |

People of all faiths are asked, especially during the month of October, to honor the National Observance of Children’s Sabbath. Among other things, this means to engage in prayer, education and service to help children and their families. We are encouraged to learn more about the problems facing children and poor families. We are especially encouraged to cut through the rhetoric and get to the substance of what most threatens children in our nation. Although October 14th has been declared the official Children’s Sabbath, the observance of this one special day does not let us off the hook for the rest of the year. Rather, let it be a springboard from which to launch a renewed effort to provide adequate nurture and care for God’s greatest gift to us: our children, indeed ALL of the children. Shalom,
