 Vision
more important than sight at Lincoln Hill Free Methodist
Church
[JULY 14, 2000]
Bill
Dolan, the new pastor at Lincoln Hill Free Methodist Church in
Lincoln, does not have good eyesight, but he and his congregation
have keen insight into where their church should be going and
growing. Pastor Bill is one of the few blind pastors in the United
States and the only one in the Free Methodist movement, but his
visual disability does not hinder his spiritual and leadership
ability. The future of this church will be built on five pillars
that Pastor Bill and church leaders have set out as their vision
statement. Those pillars include God-centered worship, developing
the spiritual disciplines, a comprehensive program of Christian
education, developing strong families and evangelistic outreach into
the community.

[Note:
Ten people kept asking me when I was ever going to get out of
the house and see a real movie at the theater. They finally annoyed
me enough that I went just to make them quit bugging me. Along with
my significant-other and my daughter, Smidge, we caught the
"Chicken Run" at the matinee.]
 "Chicken
Run"
[JULY
14, 2000] Trapped
in a prison camp where they are deprived of dignity, freedom, and
put to death if they don’t lay their quota of eggs, Ginger and the
other Chickens hatch plot after plot to escape from the clutches of
Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy, their captors. While they find ways to get one
or two chickens out, their goal is for their whole chicken community
to escape
en masse. Time after time they fail in their quest, and Ginger is
sent to solitary confinement, until one day when a strange
"flying" chicken named Rocky arrives in the camp,
promising to teach all the old hens how to "fly" the coop.
