Carpenter's Tools - By Pastor Wallace Phillips
This week’s message: Got Milk? . . . . .
It’s a popular phrase – got milk? I’ve seen it on t-shirts, heard it on commercials, read it in the media, etc. On Sunday, March 19th I am going to ask that question from my pulpit – Got Milk? I’ll be preaching a message on milk in the Scriptures and my message will be followed with FREE milk for everyone in attendance. That’s right! We’ll be passing out cartons of USDA whole, 2%, or chocolate milk to everyone who comes to church that day. I’ve got several hundred gallons and no worry of running out. What about the cooling? Well, it’s ultra-pasteurized and has a long shelf life….so no spoilage. It’s goooooood! I’ve already tested some with my mornin’ cereal. It’s just another way Carpenter’s Shop Church can reach out and touch the community. That’s what the church is to be – a BLESSING to the community. We shouldn’t be noted as the church that’s always looking for financial support. We should be noted as the church that has something to offer. We do! We have the love of God awaiting you at Carpenter’s Shop Church – “The Church Where All Are Welcome”. And if you need some milk, join us on Sunday, March 19th for the 8:30 or 10:30 service. We’ll bless you with great music, powerful preaching, and send you out the door moooooinnnng with milk! God bless you and have an awesome day.

Hertford High Threatened With Closure
Several Schools In East On Poorly Performing List
March 5th, 2006 - Associated Press (WITN TV)
RALEIGH, N.C. -- A state judge has warned that unless 19 of the state's poorly performing high schools start doing better, he'll order them closed unless the state makes sweeping changes, including replacing principals at the schools.
"Superintendents and principals have run out of room and run out of time," Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard Manning Jr. said in a 17-page letter to state Superintendent June Atkinson and State Board of Education Chairman Howard Lee. "The state is clearly and ultimately legally responsible."
On the list of schools to be closed are Bertie County High, Hertford County High, and Plymouth High School in Washington County.
One quote from the article is appropriate to our current local school problems at all levels. "Those schools also would be required to begin reform plans modeled after the small-school approach promoted by the state's New Schools Project." Large consolidated schools have the highest failure rate. More and more people are noting that the education establishment fascination with large schools is losing support among people knowledgeable about the problems. Why are our educational leaders still promoting consolidation here in the Inner Banks?
