A Question to Ponder

This weekend's scripture is "Give us this day our daily bread" which basically means that we trust GOD to take care of our needs and to not worry about tomorrow (tomorrow will take care of itself!).

HERE'S A QUESTION TO PONDER (as you prepare for Sunday's service):

How has being in relationship with God lessened anxiety in your life? Are you able to trust that all things will work out?

The Last TGIW

Tonight is the last TGIW for the spring. It will begin again in the Fall, so stay tuned for details in late summer. Thanks to all the teachers, cooks, musicians, pastors, attendees, etc who make Wednesday night happen.

Notes from Sunday

Here are the resources and notes from Sunday morning's worship if you would like to further reflect...

• CHOIR SONG: "How Great is Our God" (Chris Tomlin)

• MISSIONS: Remember that Steve Deardurff was sent to Honduras and Nancy Hendricks was sent to China during Sunday's service. They will each be gone approximately three weeks. Be praying for them while they are serving others across the world.

• SERMON NOTES:
• Jesus-like living (Lord's Prayer)
• Praising and experiencing God
• Taking care of God's business
• Trusing God for "daily bread"
• Forgiving
• Delivered from temptation and stuff that overwhelms
• Taking care of God's business - click here to see John 5: 19,20
• There is a "God-force" that invites us to join along in taking care of God's business.
• There is a "God-in-the-flesh force" that invites us to join in the Movement.
  

This weekend!

Join us this weekend as Pastor Craig begins his next-to-last sermon series called "The Jesus Way" - which is a look at the characterists of the Jesus life. Come and bring some friends!

Staff

Various members of the church staff will be meeting one-on-one with our new pastor, Jim Farrer, today. This will be their chance to get to know each other better as well as to converse about any "business" matters. Prayers are appreciated as we go into these next few months of transition for the church, for Jim and family, and for Craig and family!

Thursday and Friday Services

Don't forget that tonight (Thursday) is a Maundy Thursday service of Open Prayer and Communion in the Sanctuary. Come anytime between 4 and 8 and stay as long as you would like. The low lights and soft candles provide an atmosphere for you to be in quiet contemplation with God.

Friday night, then, is the Good Friday service at 7:00 pm which we will share with the Abundant Love Outreach Church. We invite you to join us for this meaningful time.

From My Will to Thy Will

Craig's sermon from last Sunday (Palm Sunday) is now available online! Click here for the sermon audio page.

Movie Night Tonight!

Family movie night will be held tonight - Friday, April 7th at 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary. Feature Film will be:

"The Lady and the Tramp"

...so bring your family in their PJs and blankets/pillows for the floor and enjoy a great movie! See you there!

Lilies

You may sign up for Easter Lilies starting today in the Narthex. They are $7 each and you may take them home with you after the 2nd service on Easter Sunday (the 16th)!

Can you believe it's time for Easter already!?!?

From CAN'T to CALLED

Sunday's message was about struggling with those things that we feel God is calling us to do, but we just feel like we CAN'T. Have any reflections about this topic? Want to discuss some thoughts regarding "from Can't to Called"? Leave a comment!
