This board is so incredible!!! The amount of information that one can learn is amazing. I was thinking it would be great if we would share information that is helpful to one another. i.e scholarships, deals on trips, airfare, vaction resources, history (Thank you Jerryl for you keep us informed about our history) Anyway you get the idea. So I would like to begin by sharing about Low Income Drug Benefit for those on Medicare who have a gross annual income of less than $18,000 ($24,000 for a couple filing jointly) and have no other prescription coverage they may be eligible for the "New Pfizer Share Card." This card began in March 2002, once you have the card one can purchase a 30 day supply of any listed Pfizer prescription for a flat fee of $15.00 (This great for diabetics) For more info call 1-800-717-6005 or check out the web site www.pfizerforliving.com (the source of this information is from the newspaper the voice of the Diabetic)

I received an email regarding how to start a buying club? I had posted a question some time ago about wanting to start one. A buying club is comprised of individuals who come together to buy food in bulk thus lowering the price for individuals. The food can be organic, or what ever type of food you would like to order. There was someone on the board who said his church had one and we hope that person will share how his church started one. I have the address of a web site about starting a food co-op the address is very long. So can Jerryl, Robert or someone do a direct link. Thanks so much!!!! The address is www.bpco-op/pages/buying%20club.htm

God bless and please keep us posted if anyone is starting one. Oh on that web site is an form where you can request more information.

Sis,

As I read how you were doing I thought of the verse in Romans 8 when it read our  current sufferings couldn't be compared to the glory to be revealed in us...limp on with joy, your confession & testimony blesses me.

Allow me to correct both links:

• This is your first
• And second URL

In Excellence, (This time)

Chuck you made me cry with your kind words. When I was in a wheel chair several months ago, I learned so much from that experience as a pastor, I was able to understand the frustration that those who are wheel chaired bound have to deal with. And out of that experience a new ministry has evolved. Every Monday our church has a second service at a Nursing home, it was an outreach ministry started last year. Out of that 20 residences joined our church the oldest is 99 and the staff are allowed to come to church also. We have invited those in wheel chairs in the community to worship with us. It has been amazing. My limping is a gift from God for it reminds me that he allowed me to have my foot so I can continue his work. Thank you so much for the links, isn't God grand!
