Welcome to Our Worship Services Today! Today we celebrate the resurrection of Christ -- Hallelujah! Jesus Lives!
A Potluck Fellowship Dinner will be served immediately following the worship service today. Please join us for good food and conversation.
A Sabbath School and Vacation Bible School leadership Symposium will be held at the Leominster English Church this afternoon from 3:00 - 8:00 pm. Edwina Neeley, an educator, will be our keynote speaker. Donald Laing, from the Review and Herald, will be the VBS presenter.
A Spring Church Workbee is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:00. Come help us put a sparkle on the church and church yard!
The Pathfinders will meet Wednesday evening at 6:30. Wear field uniforms.
The Midweek Connection will introduce a new series Wednesday evening at 7:30. Bored and Burned Out is especially for people whose job feels like a broken record. The same thing over and over. For people who are already tired by 10:00 am, and ready to go home at noon. Enjoy a fresh attitude adjustment in the Midweek Connection as we ask the question this week: Why Work? and explore the implications of 2 Timothy 2:14-26.
The Spiritual Body Building Group will meet on Friday evening at 7:00.
Next Sabbath: When it comes to keeping the Sabbath, do you operate by rules or by principles? Is the Sabbath something that you endure and scrutinize, or is it something you celebrate? Join us for the Pastor's message Principles For Sabbath Keeping.
Recommended For Church Leadership: Greg and Vivian Irrgang (subject to membership transfer), Youth Sabbath School; Bob McCall, Pathfinder Director. First Reading.
Church Storage Shed: $ 3,290 has been received and another $ 171.00 is needed to complete the project. Let's pay this off so we can begin putting a new church sign out front!
From My Heart: When the demands are bigger than our apparent resources, we need to do what Jesus asked His disciples to do--Assess what we already have--the food in the pantry, the free pockets of time, the money in the savings account, the skills acquired through the years, the old jewelry in the drawer that can be turned into quick cash, the network of family and friends--And then you take what you've got, no matter how small or large, and you give it to God. -- DBM
