		<description><![CDATA[Friends, &#8220;the table&#8221; is on! I made it to church with no problems. The snow is predicted to taper off early this afternoon. I look forward to seeing you! Ham and German potatoes at 6pm. Worship will start at 7pm! IN CHRIST, Pastor Tim]]></description>

		<title>Elder Sons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been captivated by the story of the Prodigal Son(s) this past week. It&#8217;s truly the story of 2 lost sons &#8211; one knew he was lost and the other did not. The elder son is characterized by anger, pride and insecurity when he doesn&#8217;t get what he feels he deserves from the Father. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ash Wednesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What has happened to the word &#8220;SIN&#8221;? It&#8217;s so politically incorrect. Some may rationalize, &#8220;No one can tell me how to live my life! I set my own standard of right and wrong!&#8221; Oh how dangerous and pervasive the lies of our culture can be. I sin and I desperately need a sinless Savior &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>TABLE CANCELLED for TONIGHT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends, As much as I look forward to seeing you all every Thursday, we’ve decided for your safety to cancel tonight. I have no doubt you could all make it here just fine – it’s going home that I’m worried about. The snow is going to increase and the temperature will drop. This makes for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photos: The Table&#8217;s Thanksgiving Feast 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone &#8211; this past Thursday, the table served approximately 180 people for our early Thanksgiving feast!  This was, by far, the largest crowd we&#8217;ve had yet.  I captured a number of photos during the meal to share with you all; they can be found here: http://www.tablebethlehem.org/photos/thanksgiving2010]]></description>

		<title>Church for the Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends, I&#8217;m reading a book right now called &#8220;The Externally Focused Quest&#8221; by Eric Swanson and Rick Rusaw. They focus on how the Church ought to manifest itself as FOR the community, not only IN the community. You&#8217;ve heard me say this before &#8211; if Bethlehem and &#8220;the table&#8221; closed it&#8217;s doors would anyone in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Betrayed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been betrayed by someone I thought was a friend. It&#8217;s been painful, sad, and I&#8217;ve been angry. It&#8217;s led me to wonder how Jesus, being God, could have been in relationship with Judas for three years knowing that Judas would betray Him? Only God could do that&#8230; Read John 18. Here we see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Care for the Grieving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grief is a tricky thing. It ebbs and it flows, but it never really goes. Death really stinks. I wish we didn&#8217;t have to deal with it, but we do. So how do we help our loved ones deal with the loss of a parent, spouse, or child? As a pastor here is my list [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lookin&#8217; for a Good Daily Devotion?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking for a good daily devotional to be sent to my Blackberry everyday (yes, I have a Blackberry to help me stay connected &#8211; don&#8217;t judge ). Anyway, Adam Winterhof recommended a good one from Lutheran Hour Ministries. Go to: http://www.lhm.org/dailydevotions.asp to sign up to receive it on the electronic device of your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I love music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is it about music that fills me so? I can&#8217;t imagine my life without music. When I&#8217;m sick and voiceless and can&#8217;t sing &#8211; my life is so lifeless, my joy is diminished. King David evidently loved music too. He writes in Psalm 101:1, &#8220;I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, [...]]]></description>
