Good morning Aladdin troops-

I have just a few family tidbits for you as we head into the weekend:

~ Please lift up the health of our students. Ugh.

~ Please continue to lift up Mr Swanson & his entire family, particularly over the next few days.

~ We have a seamstress grandma willing to make 5/6 girl pants. Please contact me if you would benefit from her incredibly gracious offer.

~ A nice black Nike jacket disappeared from rehearsal Tuesday afternoon. The initials MF are on the tab and the letters ACG on the pocket area of the chest. Anyone seen it?

~ Art Supplies? If you have any extra supplies hanging around, we would like to bless the Union Gospel Mission store on Barbur Blvd. They are generously helping us with costumes & props. A gentleman there is doing art ministry with homeless kids and needs supplies. If you can help, please send any to the music room by next Wed, March 2nd.

This morning I’m reminded of the old gospel hymn, “The Family of God”. I can hear my dad boldly singing out the lyrics from the platform during Sunday night service:

I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,

I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood!

Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,

For I'm part of the family,

The Family of God.

You will notice we say "brother and sister" 'round here,

It's because we're a family and these are so near;

When one has a heartache, we all share the tears,

And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear.

Praise the Lord for His cleansing blood that binds us together! I’m so glad to be traveling this sod with y’all. Have a fabulous weekend!
