Thursday Thoughts –March 16th
from : Rev. Scott
Wasdin The Chosen
video Bible Study begins March 23rd at 7:00 pm in the fellowship hall. Please
be casual and comfortable. Light refreshments and coffee will be
provided. As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth…he spat on the
ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes, and
said to him, “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam” —which means Sent—. So he went
and washed, and came back able to see. John
9:1, 6–7 Reflect, today, upon this act of Jesus and allow our Lord to
smear His spit and dirt on your eyes. Allow Him to give you the gift of
spiritual sight. And when we do “see” Him at work in the ordinary
activities of life, we will be healed of our own spiritual blindness. And
as you begin to see His presence in your life, you will be amazed at the
beauty you behold. ADDITIONAL NEWS: RUMMAGE SALE - Saturday, March 25th - 9 to 1 Clean white elephants and

HOUR OF SHARING (OGHS) is
the special offering this month, which involves you in disaster,
refugee/immigration, and development ministries throughout the world. When a
disaster strikes or people are displaced or made refugees by violence or
extreme poverty, you are part of the immediate response and of the long-term
recovery. Through OGHS you engage in holistic development programs
including health care, education, agriculture, food sustainability,
micro-financing and women’s empowerment. Because the UCC relates in mutual
partnership to churches and organizations through Global Ministries and
worldwide response & recovery networks, your contributions to One Great
Hour of Sharing put you in the right place at the right time for the relief,
accompaniment and recovery of the most vulnerable. You meet immediate needs
and you address the underlying causes that create those needs in the first
place. Click here to visit the OGHS webpage on ucc.org https://www.ucc.org/giving/ways-to-give/our-churchs-wider-mission/one-great-hour-of-sharing/ PRAYERS FOR: Mark I. Wayne B. ♦♦♦♦♦ ***Reminder*** If you are not up to date on your covid

safety. ♦♦♦♦♦ |
