Carrie and Emmy recap this week's news and the coming Sunday scriptures. We cover the candidacy for party nominations, the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation, some happy moves by the Obama administration, and most importantly, the connections between the White House, the new Michael Jackson comedy (starring Joseph Fiennes, ?), and Harry Potter. It's all in there.

Preacher's Report: February 7, 2016

PREACHER'S REPORT: THIS WEEK TODAY

Pastors, have you ever been sailing through a Sunday morning only to be derailed by a parishioner's mention of a national event you had no idea occurred? Sunday School teachers, have you been carefully molding both young minds AND homemade plad-dough only to have a kid throw a question at you about a pop culture reference that you have no reference for? General populace, would you like to be more educated about what's happening in the world AND how your faith relates to it?

FEAR NOT, for Carrie and Emmy bring you, dear fellow preachers and teachers, THE NEWS.

Prepare yourself for Sunday with our review of the Revised Common Lectionary texts, plus an overview of this last week's events.
