NFL: Churches Can Show Super Bowl on Big Screens

NEW YORK – Churches can show the Super Bowl on big screen TVs this coming Sunday without fear of violating copyright laws.
 
Many churches canceled Super Bowl parties after the National Football League warned an Indiana church in 2007 that it would be illegal to show the game on anything larger than a 55-inch screen — a restriction that critics complained did not apply to sports bars.
 
After members of Congress threatened to change copyright laws, the NFL dropped that restriction, starting with this year’s Super Bowl.
 
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says churches may now show the game on any size screen, as long as it’s in their normal meeting place and they don’t charge admission.

Thought for this Day!

 Proverbs 4: 10-15 is all about following The Bible’s Teaching and having a good life!

There is no magic formula here, follow God’s teaching, stay away from the things that are only going to trip you up. When God says “I will lead you” he means through His words and through his people, the church! Some and maybe all of us will be tempted to go and do something today that we shouldn’t do, Don’t do it. Hold on to the truth and you are promised a long and good life!

Remember we need to be held accountable! If you are feeling overwhelmed call someone, either myself or one of the youth leaders and some of the older youth who are now mentors to the younger. But remember what Lookadoo said: “get your advise from those who have walked there before you”.

Stay strong and let’s turn the World upsode down!

Ronnie

My child, listen to me and do as I say,
and you will have a long, good life.
     I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths.
      When you walk, you won’t be held back;
when you run, you won’t stumble.
      Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.
Guard them, for they are the key to life.
      Don’t do as the wicked do,
and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
      Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.
Turn away and keep moving.

New Living Translation Pr 4:10-15
Dear friend, take my advice;
     it will add years to your life.
     I’m writing out clear directions to Wisdom Way,
     I’m drawing a map to Righteous Road.
     I don’t want you ending up in blind alleys,
     or wasting time making wrong turns.
     Hold tight to good advice; don’t relax your grip.
     Guard it well—your life is at stake!
     Don’t take Wicked Bypass;
     don’t so much as set foot on that road.
     Stay clear of it; give it a wide berth.
     Make a detour and be on your way.

Quad Training in Jacksonville

turning-worlds-upside-down

Every Four Years the United Methodist Church has General Conference and the focus that is set in that meeting is what Quad Training will focus on. I leave Thursday morning very early.

January 29th – February 1st, 2009
Jacksonville, Florida

Developing Principled Christian Leaders for the Church and the World

New Places for New People and Renewing Existing Congregations

Engaging in Ministry with the Poor

Stamping Out Killer Diseases of Poverty by Improving Health Globally

To live The United Methodist Way means being prepared to unleash a movement of United Methodists on fire to transform the world.  It’s about calling on our faith in Jesus Christ to sharpen our mission and implement the four areas of focus given to us by the 2008 General Conference.

Here is where we are staying.
