Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God

Hello again, BishBashers

Your Power Squad met again this evening and made some important decisions. You already know the theme, so now we'll share with you the Bible verse: Micah 6:6-8 (NRSV).

"With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings,
with calves a year old?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with tens of thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

We also decided on our cause for the day: Nothing but Nets. Remember how we filled the CHOW truck with a bunch of food for local food pantries in 2007? Well, in 2009 we're going to set a monetary goal to donate to Nothing but Nets, a charity that stops the spread of malaria by providing mosquito nets to those in Africa who need them (and either can't afford them or have none available to buy). Mosquitos spread malaria when they bite, so stopping mosquitos from biting stops the spread of the disease! Check out the Nothing but Nets Web site here: http://www.nothingbutnets.net/

Remember to keep Saturday July 25 open, and, as always, stay tuned to this blog for more BishBash updates!
