Gone to the dogs

LOS ANGELES -- When the Rev. Tom Eggebeen took over as interim pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church three years ago, he looked around and knew it needed a jump start.
Most of his worshippers, though devoted, were in their 60s, attendance had bottomed out and the once-vibrant church was fading as a community touchstone in its bustling neighborhood.....more>>

Roundup
Flapjacks for faith
The Apple Gold Group, franchisee of Applebee's restaurants in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas, will partner with the Revival for Christ Club to host a flapjack breakfast 8 to 10 a.
Panel discusses why disagreements on big issues have become so heated
Fear. Communication. Ignorance.
All are contributing to what many see as a growing trend toward an end result that sounds simple -- people just don't treat each other well.
Fixing it has proven not to be quite so simple.
Church Notes
Alameda Baptist Church
Pastor Phil Ratliff will deliver the message "Give Thanks to God," from Psalm 34:1-9 during the Sunday morning worship. Pastor Ratliff's message for evening worship will be "Faith -- Works," from Titus 3:5-8.

The remnant of her seed
Recently I received an e-mail from a friend in Texas asking me who I thought "the remnant of her seed" was in the verse below:

Drinking from 'The Fount'
For the youth at Memorial Presbyterian Church, their time together Sunday evenings isn't just about coming together and having fun.
They have a congregation waiting to see what they'll do in a weekly service planned and performed by the youth.
