NEWSFLASH—SOMETHING’S HAPPENING IN THE YAM ROOM
This afternoon a transformation took place. The world has been reoriented. The walls have changed (and there’s lots more to come). You’ll be amazed at what you find.
We’ll be having another workday in a few weeks—see Jeff Barnhart for info—so if you don’t mind getting your hands in it, join on in.

I know some of you write… if you’d like to contribute your thoughts—on anything from God to the best place for hotdogs—then this spot’s for you.
=============================
THE GATHERING—What is church? AKA “Orientation”
[also available at http://tfbyam.blogspot.com/]
Today we looked at the church as a serving community.
In John 13, Jesus did something extraordinary—he washed the disciples’ feet. Now, footwashing was normal in first century Palestine; it was an ordinary thing for the host to provide a servant to wash the feet of his guests. After all, the roads were dirt and everyone wore sandals—feet were hot, sweaty, and dusty, and besides, who wants all that dust tracked into the house. So when the disciples gathered for Passover dinner, it would have been proper for one of them to wash the feet of the others. Problem was, not one of them did, so Jesus, their Lord and Teacher, took the towel. Read John 13 for the whole story.
In the next few weeks, we’ll be taking applications for the Sacred Order of the Towel. Start thinking now of what you might do to pick up the towel and serve your fellow yammies, the TFB body, the people of Torrance, and the people in your life.
