We know people like him; they dot the
landscape of American politics. He was a reasonably
clever politician who managed to do at least a halfway
decent job of governing. He wasn't the world's
greatest leader, but he usually managed to keep out of
trouble. Apparently, he had no real firm convictions,
and this enabled him to walk a tightrope that kept his
bosses in Rome pleased with his performance and the local
Jews under reasonable control. It was not an easy
task.
But the time came (and it does for all of
us) in which he had to make a serious decision based on his
own convictions rather than continue his balancing act--and
he failed miserably. 2000 years later, he is best
remembered for his wishy-washy decision that was really no
decision at all.
I hope to see you Sunday, when our Jerusalam 30 A.D.
series of worship services continue.

Homeless Connect
Our sister
church, FSBCA, is co-hosting a
homeless event on March 23 with Valley of
the Sun United Way designed
to be a "one-stop" event in
which homeless people get a
meal, a shower, a haircut, and
contact with a wide variety of
social agencies in the valley.
It's also hellpful for
anyone in danger of
losing a home!
We still need
people who are skilled at
cutting hair. Please contact office manager
Naomi Hutchison if you can help.
FSBCA invites EFBC members to
a dramatic presentation of the Last Supper on Sunday, March 28, at 6:00 pm. The Last Supper is
based on De Vinci's painting, except
that each disciple comes out of his "pose" to
tell his story. It's a captivating look into the
lives of the disciples.
Our
final regular season games of
the season are this Friday
night. We play FSBCA at
6:30 pm and the Amigos at 7:30
pm. Everyone is welcome to
come and join us!
