A STRONG FAITH AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCHHAMPTON | In the present day and time there is a lot of

talk about how one can grow in faith, become a more confi-dent Christian or integrate their faith into all areas of their life.

This week at the First Baptist Church, Pastor Chris Undera-tion’s message will continue in the study through the Book ofHaggai. Located within this book is the single most importantunderstanding a believer needs in order to be confident intheir “Christian-ness” and strong in trials or stressful situa-tions. This great nugget of truth exists in Haggai 1:13-15. Andit is this truth that will be examined on Sunday, March 19 in asermon called “The First Step.”

The First Baptist Church of Hampton is a church that strivesto make the Holy Scriptures accessible and relevant to ourday-to-day lives. This is accomplished by faithfully teachingage-old truth but giving that truth a contemporary applica-tion. If this sounds like something you’d like to experience,stop in some Sunday and visit.

Sunday School for both youth and adults starts at 9:30 a.m.,followed by the worship service at 10:30 a.m. Childcare forinfants is provided during the worship service, as well as forboth infants and children whose parents attend adult SundaySchool. First Baptist is located at 36 Winnacunnet Road inHampton, across from Citizens Bank. Please feel free to findout more at www.hamptonbaptist.com.

ADEQUATE VS.EQUITABLE

To the Editor:Yes, another education

funding plan has been ruledunconstitutional.

In all court cases at leastone statement has remainedconsistent — “the legisla-ture’s failure to determinethe cost of an adequate edu-cation.” This may be time tostrike “adequate” and insert“equitable.” Adequate,according to Webster, means“equal to or sufficient for aspecific requirement.” Equi-table, according to Webster,means “just, fair.”

You CAN identify ade-quate education as it relatesto curriculum (knowledgenecessary), space (facility),instruction (teacher quality),administration (administra-tive qualities) BUT it is nextto impossible to get yourhands around funding ade-quacy for the cost to providethe above services in thevarious towns and commu-nities in our state does NOTcost the same per service.

This is my first term as astate legislator having theprivilege to service on theHouse Education Commit-tee and it hasn’t taken melong to recognize that thereis agreement that we wantquality education supportedby appropriate state sup-port. Providing equitablefunding allows us theopportunity to establishrealistic base grants andallows the formula to deter-mine the necessary commu-nity needs.

I am in agreement thatwe need to make provisions

for poorer communitieswhile not exceeding theiractual costs as well as recog-nizing special educationneeds. It is time that webecome efficient with ourtime and taxpayer dollarsfocusing on the studentinstead of using it for litiga-tion. In the next few daysand months let’s cometogether and do what isright and fair for the studentand community.

WHERE’S THE MAJORITY?To the Editor:The tyranny by the

minority is further silencingthe silent majority. Somemay call it “political correct-ness.”

Several churches haveadvocated same sex unionsor marriages. This hasresulted in many of theactive members and donorsleaving. The CatholicChurch in Massachusettswill no longer provide adop-tion services because law-makers have mandated theymust allow same sex cou-ples to adopt.

A small minority of non-smokers have been extremein insisting on completelybanning smoking ratherthan to allow businesses todecide this matter for them-selves. These non-smokersshould simply stay awayfrom the places that allowsmoking. I’ll wager that as aresult of existing laws, 90percent of bars, restaurantsand other places of businessalready have disallowedsmoking, so why should this

be taken any further?Why would we want to

make New Hampshire likeMassachusetts and Ver-mont? Where is the majority,and shouldn’t they speakup?

NO LIMIT TO LOYALTYTo the Editor,Our two party system of

government, imperfect as itmay be, has served us wellover the years. I understandand respect the prerogativesof both parties to promotethe policies that they andtheir constituents believe tobe best for the country.

However, Congress has aresponsibility that should beabove party politics — thatof protecting our rights andfreedoms as outlined in theConstitution and the Bill ofRights by providing con-gressional oversight andbalance to the administra-tive branch.

This administration, inkeeping with its well-estab-lished pattern of secrecy, hasauthorized warrant-lesswiretaps on US citizenswithout consulting the FISAcourt. Holding the presidentaccountable for these actionsshould be a nonpartisanissue, yet on Tuesday (3-7-06) Senate Republicansrejected a full inquiry intothe domestic spying pro-gram.

When questioned recent-ly on the subject at a publicmeeting in Hampton, JebBradley once again support-ed this administration.Apparently, there is no limitto his loyalty. Maybe weshould change the statemotto to “Live Free or Sup-port the Party.”

The real change needs tobe in our representatives,starting in November byholding Mr. Bradleyaccountable.
