If you are ever going to be on time for Sunday School, this week is it.
Don't do it for me. Do it for your kids. What do I mean?
This Sunday is Promotion Sunday. Your kids will promote to their next class. It's a great time for them to feel like "bigger" boys and girls.
But the system works smoothly only if your kids are in their classes on time. Remember, the official start time for Sunday School (as listed on the home page of the LPBC website) is 9:40 a.m. Did your read that as 9:40 a.m.? One more time--9:40 a.m.
Why is that important? You'll drop your kids off in their usual rooms. The teachers will coordinate the "march of the masses" to their next room. But this only works if you have your kids to church on time (9:40 a.m., remember?). Come in late and you and your kids won't know where to go.
So be on time this week. As an added bonus, you'll have more time to shoot the breeze when you make it to our classroom.

Here's a question: "How long do you keep trying until you finally give up?"
Ponder that question for a moment.
Is it a fair question? Would you want more information before answering? Is it dependent upon the situation?
We'll be tap-dancing around the edges of that question on Sunday. The lesson's entitled "Persevere in Obedience". The 'one thing to know' from the teacher guide says "This lesson is about persevering in serving the Lord by refusing to compromise godly convictions no matter what the cost."
We finish our study in the Book of Jeremiah this week. In it, you'll see some of the things Jeremiah had to endure while telling the people and the king what God wanted them to hear.
Our text comes from Jeremiah 37:11-17, Jeremiah 38:4-6, and Jeremiah 38:14-18.
Think about the question: "How long do you keep trying until you finally give up?". The answer may surprise you.
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
