say, “O that we might see some good!” Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord In peace I will both lie down and sleep. For thou alone. O
Lord, makest me dwell in safety. ♦♦♦♦♦ |

Jesus.
Rejoice and sing as we proclaim how Jesus still changes lives today. Thursday Thoughts –March 21st “The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that
Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel” ~John 12:12-19 What would you
have done on that incredible day? Would you have
gone to see for yourself? Grabbed a
palm branch to lay on the road hoping Jesus might see you in the crowd? Sunday we will
pass out palms in remembrance of that day. If you cannot
make it to this service (though hopefully you will), there will be palms available on the front steps of the church. Prayers for: The family of Susan J, as Sue passed away on Saturday, March 16th. If you would like to send a card or note to the family, please call the
church for their address. |
