SUNDAY: the week that changed the world

I sure hope that you were able to join us today: Mr. Ben is taking the adults through the week that changed the world and today (although a week early) he was on Palm Sunday, otherwise known as the Triumphal Entry. And to help everybody relate to and remember the importance of the day we had guest donkeys!! (courtesy of Kirkland Sod/Farm) They fit the part perfectly and so did those who helped with the palm branches. Thanks so much!!!!

We're going to be looking at the story of Easter too! Be sure to join us on Sunday mornings for Children's Church where we'll be discovering how much Jesus really understands us! (and trust me, He understands!)

I also hope that you'll join us on Wednesday nights as we study the Fruits of the Spirit: be sure to participate in the poll and check back often!!

p.s. SPRING FEST update: we met our egg goal and now really need candy donations: you can donate at church on Sunday mornings or at the Ministry Center throughout the week. Thanks so much for all of the donations!!! (you may also donate small "toys" ie: bouncy balls, small bubbles... for the "goodie bags")

I can Help!

This past Sunday was so fun discovering ways that we can help one another. You guys did a great job coming up with ways you can help others!! I hope that you do your best to be helpful this week just like the ladybug is helpful to those who like to grow fruits and vegetables!!

Remember that Galatians 5:13 says: but by love serve (help) one another.

I hope to see all of you on Wednesday night for dinner and Bible study: we get started at 6:00PM.

James 1:17 says Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

God is your BFF

Happy Valentines Day: I hope that everyone had a great weekend!! This past week we learned that love does no wrong to others (Romans 13:10) We also got to talk about friends in Children's Church: this week show your friends God's love by doing them no wrong.

...ok, I must admit I never referred to anybody as my "BFF" growing up, but theses days it's all I hear. As I sit back and think of all the people that I've ever called a best friend I can honestly say that I've lost touch with a few of them. But today we learned that God is our BFF. I've never lost Him!! Sometimes we might get busy and caught up in something other than focusing on God, but He's never stopped: and never will!! He is our BEST FRIEND FOREVER!!! So if you have a best friend who doesn't know about your BEST FRIEND FOREVER, Jesus. This week would be a great time to tell them about Him!!

Remember that we have Bible study this Wednesday: dinner at 6:00PM. I look forward to seeing you there!!

God Always Sticks with Me!

It's so amazing to know that even when we feel all alone-we're not!! We learned that no matter where we go or where we are God is Always with Us!! Remember that you can always turn to God for help; but he's only going to help you with things that are right and honoring to Him!! He'll never say he's not there or that he doesn't have enough time. Come find out more on Wednesday night as we see who God stayed with while he helped them through a big hurdle!!

God's Power is Ginormous!

We had a great time Sunday morning learning about God's power!! Be sure to join us Wednesday night as we continue to learn about His strength and the things that we can do if He's on our side!

I hope that everyone stays warm and remembers to wear their jacket at the bus stop!!
