God Cares. Yesterday today and tomorrow

 

 

All over the world folks are doing what they can to support and give comfort in this time of uncertainty.

Everything has changed but God is our constant. 

God will comfort the grieving and give strength to those who are in need

There is hope found through prayer and our continued faith that God will be there for all of us.

 

 

Our church family is amazing when called upon to help.

Some ideas.....
Fill the plastic container outside the parking lot door with food for the food pantry

Drop off cards in the office mail box to be mailed to area nursing homes or our shut-ins.

Put a sign with a word or picture of encouragement in a window or in your yard

Every day at 3PM let's all take a moment to connect spiritually with prayer.

A moment in time each day to pray for those who need God’s comfort and care.

 

Your deacons are available via email or phone. We are committed to help however we can.

The Lord hears when I call to him. There are many who 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.

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.
