Adults Invited…
MBC’s Youth and Children’s ministries can always use adult assistance with the many activities we provide for our young people. There are many ways you can help…from providing meals for High School students on Mondays or for children on Sunday evenings, to teaching, to simply being a “warm body”, on hand to provide support and encouragement for students and teachers, alike. Would you like to be a part of these vital ministries, which can reach future generations for Jesus Christ? Please contact Ken Grant, our Director of Student Ministries, at 322-3236. And, thanks!!
Home Bible Study Back in Session…
Our Home Bible Study group began meeting again on Wednesday, January 27th. This group meets on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. at 195 Hightower Road. If you have questions or would like more information about this Bible Study opportunity, please give us a call here at the church office (322-3236).

Beth Moore Simulcast in Cheyenne
There will be a one-day simulcast event, based on Beth Moore’s newest book, So Long Insecurity, on Saturday, April 24, 2010, at the Cheyenne Hills Church, located at 7505 U.S. Highway 30 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Participants will learn to conquer fear and doubt, and will discover the liberating confidence that can only be found in Christ. Partly autobiographical in nature, Beth uses stories, prayers, and practical ideas to nudge us out of insecurity and into the knowledge of our God-given dignity. No matter your age or status, you can learn to battle insecurity with God’s Truth. For more information regarding this event, please contact our church office.

Cocoa Kiss Cookies
(A very appropriate recipe for Valentine’s Day! Makes about 4 ½ dozen cookies.)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
About 54 HERSHEY’S™ kisses
Powdered sugar
1. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until creamy. Stir together flour and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Add pecans; beat until well blended. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
2. Heat oven to 375º. Remove wrappers from chocolates. Mold a scant tablespoon of dough around each chocolate, covering completely. Shape into balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool about 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to wire racks to cool completely. Roll in powdered sugar. Roll in powdered sugar again just before serving, if desired.

Why Lincoln Stood…
When it came time for the pastoral prayer at the church Abraham Lincoln attended, the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., the president stood up. Because most of the worshippers remained seated, someone asked the president why he stood. Lincoln responded, “When my generals come into the Oval Office, they stand for their commander-in-chief. Isn’t it proper, then, that I stand for my Commander-in-Chief?”
Presidents’ Day is observed on Monday, February 15, 2010.
Let’s all thank God for the freedoms we enjoy in our country,
and pray that they may be preserved.

How the Boy Scouts Came to America…
Boy Scout Motto: “Be prepared.”
In 1909, Chicago publisher William Dickson Boyce was visiting London. Late one afternoon, the city was enshrouded in heavy fog. Boyce lost his bearings in the murk, and was approached by a boy of about twelve, who was carrying a lantern. The boy offered to guide Boyce to the address he was seeking. When Boyce produced a shilling, the boy replied, “No, sir, I am a scout. Scouts do not accept tips for good turns.”
That comment piqued Boyce’s curiosity. He wanted to learn more about scouting in Britain, so the boy took him to the British Scout headquarters. He was so enthralled with what he heard there, that he decided to get scouting started in America.
Scout troops, whether boys or girls, perform valuable service projects; and they learn and practice good values, health and survival techniques, discipline, and helpfulness toward others. Let us offer scouts our gratitude when we see them helping the handicapped, aiding the elderly, performing community service, and assisting us in many different ways. We all benefit by their presence.
Congratulations to all Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts as they celebrate their 100th anniversary this year!
Our thanks to the adults from Memorial Baptist Church who give of their time
to mentor these young people on their journey toward adulthood.

Nuggets of Wisdom…
“People do not care how much we know until they know how much we care.” -- Anonymous
“I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.” -- Martin Luther
“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.” -- Helen Keller
“The best mathematical equation ever given: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.” – Bumper sticker
Stories behind the Songs…
“Love Lifted Me”
Words: James Rowe, 1865-1933
Music: Howard E. Smith, 1863-1918
“Lord, if it’s You,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to You on the water.”
“Come,” He said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?” -- Matthew 14:28-31
In Saugatuck, Connecticut, in the year 1912, two men sat huddled together, working line by line, bar by bar, composing this hymn in tandem. The words were jotted down by James Rowe, and the music was hammered out at the piano by his friend, Howard E. Smith. Smith, a native of Connecticut and a church organist, had hands so crippled and twisted from arthritis that his friends often wondered how he could play at all. When they finished, the world had the reassuring hymn, “Love Lifted Me.”
Rowe, born in Devonshire, England, was the son of a copper miner. As a young man, he went to work for the Irish government, and then immigrated to the United States in his mid-twenties. He settled in Albany, New York, married, and eventually became a full-time writer. He composed hymns and edited musical journals for several publishers. His last years were spent in Wells, Vermont, where he supported himself by writing messages for greeting card publishers, working alongside his daughter who was an artist.
During his lifetime, Rowe may have written more than 19,000 song texts. Little else is known about Howard Smith. Rowe and Smith sold the copyright for this hymn to Charles Tillman, who transferred it to Robert Coleman in 1915 for the sum of one hundred dollars.
I was sinking deep in sin,
far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
All my heart to Him I give,
ever to Him I’ll cling,
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing;
Love so mighty and so true
merits my soul’s best songs;
Faithful loving service, too, to Him belongs.
Souls in danger, look above,
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love
out of the angry waves;
He’s the Master of the sea,
billows His will obey;
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me.
Memorial Baptist Church, CCL#976803
Editor’s Note: My dad, Cedric T. Almand, went home to be with his Lord in November of 1990; and, when I hear the comforting words of this hymn, I always remember it as one of his favorites. It was not until recently that I learned that, during Dad’s service as a Naval Lieutenant in World War II, he was rescued from cold, choppy waters during a storm at sea. Perhaps his gratitude to God for saving him, both physically and spiritually, made this hymn so meaningful to him…and also to me.
