Third Day at Winter Jam at Wells Fargo Arena!

It’s been said…but I say…

Today I’ll conclude our three-week focus
on milestones of Jesus’ life. We’ve looked at
His development in the formative years, His
victory over temptation and today we’ll look at
important events that launched His ministry.
On Sunday, January 24th, I’ll begin a new
three-week study looking into some of Jesus’
teachings. Our text for this study will be Matthew 5:21-48. In
this passage we’ll look at six important teachings Jesus gave
on subjects like the sanctity of life, the scope of sexual sin, the
sacredness of marriage, the sincerity of our word, the stupidity of
revenge and the sensibility of loving our fellow man.
With each of these topics, there was a traditional teaching
that was accepted as the full truth, represented by Jesus’ state-
ment “…it’s been said….” However, after stating the common
understanding, Jesus goes further by teaching the complete truth
represented by the statement “…but I say….” Our goal in this
study will be to understand the full truth on these topics and
examine our lives to ensure we are aligned with them.
Our culture is not that far removed from the culture Jesus
lived in. Like them, we have teachings and standards that Honor Flights 2009
only scratch the surface of what God demands. Jesus set the
record straight by taking us deeper into God’s requirements for Three individuals from FFC were able to travel to Washing-

HONOR FLIGHT
Helen Phillips, long-time member of First Feder-
ated Church, was aboard the Honor Flight in October
2009. At age 24, Helen enlisted in the Marines; she
was a little older than some of the other girls who had
also enlisted. She went in during WWII, and was enlisted for the
duration + 6 months. She was stationed in North Carolina with
6 weeks of basic training and 4 weeks of paymaster school. She
worked in paymaster with the men’s records. She was sent to the
Marine Corp Headquarters in Washington to do clerical-type
work and worked in the department where records were looked
up for Marines. Other women worked in Motor Corp and were
personal aids to different officers. When Helen was picked for
the Honor Flight in October, she felt it was very nice of them to
honor WWII and she said it was a good experience. Monday eve-
ning, the day before the departure, everyone going on the Honor
Flight met at a hotel, boarded buses and went to Prairie Meadows
for a banquet. When the banquet was over they went back to the
hotel, or home if nearby, and were told to be back at 2:30 a.m.
for breakfast the next morning. There were approximately 400
people going on the Honor Flight; there were only a few other
women on the flight along with Helen, the rest all men. They
flew on a 747 plane and when they arrived in Washington, D.C,
there were 11 buses, each designated by color. Everyone received
a name tag to wear at all times, and the color of the name tag
designated which bus they would be going on. The main monu-
ment they went to see was the World War II Memorial. Others
they saw were the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument,
Vietnam Memorial, Korean Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, and
Arlington Cemetery. At the WWII Memorial there is a “Freedom
Wall”, on which there are 4,000 gold memorial stars. Each star
represents 100 casualties. Everyone who attended the flight
received a navy cap, yellow jacket, t-shirt, fanny packs with small
items and a disposable camera, and a larger bag with candy and
different treats. They departed from Washington, D.C. at 6:30
p.m. arriving back in Iowa close to midnight. Helen said the most
memorable part for her on the Honor Flight was seeing one place
after another, knowing that men had given their lives for their
country, especially Arlington Cemetery
