"Another Historic Event for Washington Cathedral!"

Every great and beautiful dream has some point where a giant stands in its way! And every such challenge prompts a champion to step out and take on that Giant, for the glory of God and the blessing of humanity.

I want to personally invite you to what might be the most important night in the history of WashingtonCathedral. We as a church face a challenge and we’re praying for a miraculous night. When I spoke with the Board of Directors about the importance of this night, they all looked at me as if to say, “Haven’t you had enough tough challenges for one life time.” I said, “I know, but this is the sometimes arduous life of a pioneer, and I am a happy pioneer trying to build the Greatest Caring Network that the world has ever seen. The next generation might have it easier, but this is the path that God has put us on.”

We had a celebratory grand opening for our wonderful new building. We also conducted a moving dedication ceremony. However, a couple of leaders of our church pointed out, we have run from one challenge to another without really taking an evening to thank all the people who in so many ways made it possible for Washington Cathedral to get this far. To me this is a mission of utmost importance.

We have been so blessed by so many great champions who have worked, given, prayed, hung in there with us--and I will spend the rest of eternity thanking God for them. But I also want the church to recognize those stalwarts in person.

So we are going to have a special Comedy Night like we have never had at Washington Cathedral. Every good and bad comedy act from Washington Cathedral will be there to help us laugh and enjoy the joy of our fellowship. I was on the gong show many years ago and I plan to give my unknown pastor comedy act, Rich Skinner and Steve Sibley are better than the Smothers Brothers and they have developed a reputation as “The Boys”. Doug Sutten is the funniest CPA ever to graduate from Kennewick High School (that is in my humble opinion). We will have comedy acts by kids, old people like Rey Diaz who will be trying out his brand of humor (is he really the funniest in his family?) The drama team, teenagers, kids getting ready for camp. It will be a night of fun and hilarity.

Our Washington Cathedral Chefs are preparing a delicious Italian Meal. The food for this meal will cost about $10 per person and a donation basket will be available if you’d like to help us offset that cost. It will be a fun and inspiring evening you will never forget as we say “thank you” for being a part of a miracle. We will outline the ten year plan for Washington Cathedral and the meta church design to become the Great Caring Network that God has called us to be. Please join us and bring a friend. Lets pack the place out! Wouldn’t it be fun if the place became a packed out-house--or should I say, a packed-out house. (Brings back memories of how many you can squeeze into a VW Beetle.)

Don’t miss this historic night! – It will become a milestone memory.

This night of comedy and food will be Friday, June 4, at 7 pm in the ReCreation Center. Call and let us know you are coming (or you can sign up on our website).

Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
