Sermon & Scripture for 02.05.12It is Super Bowl weekend! That means it is time to break out all the high fat, high caloric, fatty foods, sugary sodas, and settle in on the sofa all day Sunday - right? After all our bodies are our own. We can do with them what ever we want, right? God only cares about what is on the inside. Would you believe that the Bible says otherwise? Would you believe that God actually cares deeply about how we treat our bodies - our temples? Come Sunday as we continue our series Extreme Makeover: Christian Edition. Our text is A Note From Brooks Elementary SchoolTo the Fantastic Congregation of St. Mark's UMC, Just wanted to drop you a belated note of thanks for all of your outreach to our Brooks' families this year! The Angel Tree helped so many and the Backpack Buddy program continues to fill those tummies! Our kids are learning with a little less stress thanks to you all!
