Kelli’s Kiln
Over 75 years, Tulsa
Metropolitan Ministry has de-
veloped and spun off five successful
agencies: Youth Services of Tulsa, Meals
on Wheels, RSVP Tulsa, Life Senior Ser-
vices, and the Day Center for the
Homeless. Those organizations, along
with the many programs that TMM has
led over the years make a difference in
our community.
On October 4, we have the op-
portunity to celebrate 75 years of TMM
making a difference in Tulsa. Honoring
Rabbi Charles Sherman from Temple
Israel and Rev. Dr. Mouzon Biggs, Jr. of
Boston Avenue United Methodist
Church, TMM will
kick off it’s 75th
year with a Family
Reunion Celebra-
tion. Even Sister
Sylvia, the former
Executive Direc-
tor of TMM, will be
there! It will be
held at the Tulsa
Union Depot and
feature local mu-
sician Sam Harris.
Abraham
Did It
Again
As our Bible Study class returns to the book of
Genesis (20:1-18), we find Abraham sojourning
in the desert west of the Dead Sea. He's not
sure whether the "natives" are friendly, so he
convinces his wife, Sarah, to tell the people of
the land that she is his sister. He's fearful that if
she is known to be his wife that he would be
killed in order to get Sarah.
This is the second time Abraham has
used this lie. Or, is it a lie? It's strange behavior
for someone God has chosen to be the patri-
arch of God's "chosen people." It's a fascinat-
ing story. We invite you to join us Sunday at
9:30.
