ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION

March 18, 2012

FROM THE PASTOR
Just Whats Needed God never wastes time with explanations and he always knows when to speak and when to be silent. Perhaps right now, you need only to be held in his arms. Remember they are everlasting arms and they are always underneath to hold you. God knows you so well, and he will never do the wrong thing.
*Roger* _______ COMING SOON Over the next few weeks in Childrens Church, we will focus on becoming strong and courageous kids. Your children will learn that God gives them the courage and encouragement they need to remain obedient to him, even during tough times, worldly pressures, and persecution. If your child is not a part of the Childrens Ministry here, we invite them to join us on Sundays at 9:45 a.m. for Sunday School, 10:30 a.m. for Childrens Church & 6:00 p.m. for Creative Kids and Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. for Kids church. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Pastor Jonathons Word of the Week

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Are you able to see God working in your life? Can you see Him answering your prayers even if its not right now? In Hebrews, great men and women of faith were commended for their ability to see the promises of God from afar off. Do not focus on how bad your situation is right now but look ahead in faith and believe God to be true to His word. You are more than a conqueror! Jonathon
