LAMBERT—
From page 9A
“the curtain of the temple was
torn in two from top to bot
tom.” The divider was
removed. As a result, we can
enter the Most Holy Place, the
very presence of God, because
of the blood of Jesus.
We are children of this new
covenant. A covenant that
doesn’t merely cover up the
stain of sin, it removes it com
pletely and washes us whiter
than snow. All of this is possi
ble only because Jesus chose to
be the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world. It
was Jesus who made the choice
to lay down his life for the
sheep. It was Jesus who chose
to become sin for us so that in
him we might become the
righteousness of God.
And because Jesus drank the
cup of suffering, we are heirs
to God’s great and precious
promises. The promise of com
plete forgiveness...the promise
of eternal life...the promise of
God’s presence with us...the
promise of grace. That’s what
we find when we survey the
wondrous cross.
For the friends and family of
Jesus, that day at Calvary
must have been a sad Friday.
For a Father who watched His
only Son suffer and die it was
undoubtedly a painful Friday.
But for us who look back and
see the glory and power of the
cross, it was most certainly a
good Friday.

believes diners sometimes hesi
tate to pray in public restau
rants because “a lot of times
people feel conspicuous when
they say a prayer at a table.”
Sorrell composed the seven
nonsectarian prayers his con
gregation places in the restau
rants. Three local, family-run
eateries have welcomed the
cards, although national restau
rant chains have not yet agreed
to allow the prayers to be placed
on their tables.
The owner of Bo Don’s
Restaurant, Walter Kees, says
the prayer cards have become a
recipe for success. “We’ve seen
our attendance grow,” he adds,
high school students and adults.
Childcare will be provided.

PERRY - New Life of Perry is
offering a special program for
children ages 4-11 from 4 to 6
p.m. each Saturday, starting
Aug. 2. Children will have fun
since the introduction of the
project in his restaurant.
It’s just a suggestion, Sorrell
says, a non-threatening way to
promote both prayer and reli
gious tolerance. The cards serve
as a reminder, he adds, ofreli
gious freedom.
He adds, “I don’t think they
have to pray. Not everybody
feels the need to pray over every
meal.”
But the cards at least ensure
that diners might be “thinking
of the fact that prayer is avail
able.”
Many diners take the cards
home after the meal, but Sorrell
sees that as a positive. There
enough ice cream for everyone
(donations accepted). For fur

special program, contact Mary
