Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon and probably be a quiet week to come as well. Just remind you that worship service at Lake Wobegon Lutheran is at 10.30 tomorrow. Sunday school class is at 9.45. Pastor Inkvist will be speaking on the subject, Are You Running the Christian Race or Are You Just Out for a Walk? There will be an awards banquet in the fellowship room at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening for the Young People's Scripture Drill Team, which did so well in Region 6. I came in runners-up and almost got to go down to the national playoffs down in New Orleans next weekend, the bread bowl. And congratulations to all of them and especially to Linda Inkvist who turned in some very fast times in the tournament in the minor profits and set an all-time regional record for finding a verse in the book of Habakkuk. Coach feels that with six of the squad members returning next year, the chances next year are going to be real good. At Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, Sunday Mass will be at 9 and 10 o'clock. The weekday Mass at 8 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the evening and Saturday at 4.30. Father Emil is down with the flu and Father Bill from the seminary will be taking his place so you remember that Mass may last a little bit longer now. Father Bill takes his time with it a little bit. He seems to believe that God doesn't hear prayer unless it's sort of done as a dramatic reading. That's the news from Lake Wobegon, Minnesota, where all the women are strong and all the men are good-looking and all the children are well above average.
