Someone once asked Johnny Cash, "Why all the songs about the down and out, the poor and prisoners?" Johnny replied, "Well, when you are in a position of influence, we have an obligation to help." The prophet Jeremiah would have agreed with Cash's emphasis; in fact, Jeremiah said that defending the "cause of the poor and needy" is the means by which we come to know God (Jer 22:16). Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. to hear more. Elder Bob Damsma leads the service as I'm off to Cambridge for the baptism of granddaughter Aliyah.
