Linda Ray reported that the Pearl mascot, Oliver, the very large but very sweet dog, did not make it to church on time last Sunday. She thinks that he forgot about the time change and overslept. She is hoping that Oliver has since adjusted to this change in daylight hours (we all know that there’s the same amount but just framed differently) and will attend as usual this Sunday. I’m sure Oliver’s human counterparts are having the very same problem. Change is sometimes very hard. We hope you all will attend the church of your choice no matter what time it starts. The unspoken motto at Pearl Church of Christ is “better late than never.” And that’s the truth.
This week’s Bible verse comes from Luke 23:34—Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do….” KJV
