MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY FACE
QUEEN ESTHER, Part One - September 7, 1997
By Pastor Fenton Moorhead
... in the Old Testament, it's on page 916, and I encourage you just to keep
reading through this book, this most unusual book, out of the exile of the Jews into
Babylonia, and what happens there.
Archaeologists have found discoveries of Jewish names listed in the records
of ancient cities all over Media and Persia that verifies the presence of the Jewish

so we have a gift
for every girl in our church who brings a friend or friends, plural, a gift for the girl
and for her friend or her friends and it is a sterling silver chain, and there is a queen's
crown, very much as we've seen royalty so much on television these last days, quite
a queenly crown.
And so these are available for every girl who brings a guest, and for her guest,

to go by and pick it up. Also there's a card that goes with it that reminds you,
"Queen Esther, more than just a pretty face, much more." Although she ...
