Blessings in Christ,
I hope each of you had yet another advancing week for the glory of God. We are ‘Spring’ing into action, we are currently in the midst of the Lenten season, and prayerfully this week each of you found opportunity to ‘challenge’ yoursellf (as I exhorted us this past Sunday).

A few thoughts for your enjoyment and edification;
I did not record the Worship Service this past Sunday, however please enjoy the attached pictures of the service and our celebration of Mrs. Rachanda Miano for Pastor’s Wife Appreciation Month. Oh and our celebration of National Chip & Dip Day in our evening session.
This past Sunday, Rev. Munther Isaac, a pastor from Bethlehem shared a great sermon titled, “Follow Me”. You can listen to that sermon (at the 25 minute mark) at the following link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3fh26XED3Y
We praise God for His sovereignty and providence in our lives and in the world. We thank Him for the reality of the Church, our efforts of unity, and our work in the midst of disagreements and division, and worst violence. We thank Him for all that He gives – our provisions and increase. We pray for peace. We pray for the vision and strength to be peacemakers. We pray specifically for Jesse (Sandy’s niece). We pray for an aquaintance of Deacon Brian named Ellen. We pray for the loved ones of Jay Copper. We pray for sister Terri. We pray for good health in all regards for our membership, our families, and those around us. We pray for our church efforts, our personal participation, and fundraising. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I look forward to online discussions, Bible studies, fellowship, and worship that we will be afforded opportunity to participate in this weekend. Might you find yourself blessed and involved.
By His continued goodness & grace,
Pastor Michael Miano
