How can we pray for you? We are here to pray with and for you, anytime! Prayer needs sent by early Monday morning will be included in the weekly Joys & Concerns email. We are also glad to send out prayer requests and praise reports anytime throughout the week! | Encouragement Thank you to Marcia Kreps for sharing and Darla Smith for writing these weekly bits of encouragement. "I pray your week has been a grand one! God continues to bless us everyday with his mercy, new every morning. We are spoiled. He loves us so much. We have been having some roller coaster weather here in Northeast Ohio. Never a dull moment. Keeps us on our toes. Spring did come on the calendar and some flowers did start to come up – then snow last weekend. They are hardy so they will survive. Last fall we left some leaves in the flower beds, so they are surrounded by them. God is good." "That brings me to my Word for this week, “SURROUND OR SURROUNDED.” The ring tone on my phone is Eye of the Storm. The last time I heard it ring, it made me think about the eye. The eye of a storm is normally calm. It seems like so many of us are going through a storm of some kind. But even when there is a storm that may have us “surrounded,” we can have calm with God. He has us “surrounded.” The Holy Spirit is our comfort. My image this week is ALL of us “surrounded” by God’s precious hands. He is holding us. He loves us so much! He hears our prayers, our cries, our groans, and our praises! Let’s keep “surrounded” with the Holy Spirit. We will make it through any storm in our path. We are victorious, “surrounded” by God. No matter what our natural eyes may see, no matter how “surrounded” the storm may seem – the All-Mighty God “surrounds” us. He has all of us “surrounded” in the palm of His hands. Be encouraged – as we keep our eyes on Him! Have a super week!" "But you, God, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high;
With all my might I shout up to God, His answers thunder from the holy mountain."
~ Psalm 3:3-4 (MSG) | Easter Reflections Our Daily Bread's Easter Reflections devotional is available. Pick up your copy this Sunday and take time to read these ten writings for the Easter season. Take one to share with friends! | | Church Work Day & Community Potluck Announced | Saturday, April 16, 8am-5pm
Can you spare some time to help Spring Clean the church property?
Lamppost Farm is removing our back greenhouses and we need all the help we can get!
If you can help in any way - climbing ladders, folding & carrying plastic, using small power
tools, moving metal frame pieces, and doing as yet unthought of tasks - it will be much
appreciated. Come all day, come for an hour, come for any time you can spare. It's an
all-hands-on-deck kind of project! Once the greenhouses are gone, the back area will look
nicer and there will be new gardens and fencing going in. | What's a Work Day without food?!?! Since we'll be here all day, we definitely need some fuel to keep going. We'll take a lunch break for some rest and fellowship time. Lamppost Farm will provide a main dish/meat. Goodness Grows will make lemonade, iced tea, chocolate chip cookies, and a pasta salad. Everyone else is asked to bring something...drinks, snacks, salads, sides, desserts, whatever floats your boat...to share. | April Worship ~ Online & In-Person Pastor Mike Hileman ~ Sundays at 11:00am.
We're excited to welcome you to Worship, in church and online! ~~~ | Maundy Thursday Worship Thursday, April 14, 7pm
