Family Ministry

Spring is in the air! There’s nothing like that first sixty-degree day of the season, it just refreshes our souls-much like the season of Lent.

I asked God many times in the past to use me, in any way that he saw fit. I wanted to fully surrender my life and all that I do to him. Well-He heard my prayer, and I feel so thankful to be able to assist in many areas of the church, the ministries, and wherever I can use my God given gifts and skills. I encourage everyone in our congregation to do the same-Lord, where can I serve you more? Is it in the church? In the community? At home? Let us all be the church.

Our Confirmation students have entered the season of Lent and continue to enjoy soup suppers and services with their faith mentor. Following services, students and their mentor engage in a “Faith Talk” where they connect in the word of God together, as well as get to know each other on a more personal level. It’s truly a blessing to see these relationships develop, with the intention that they last much longer beyond Lent. Regular confirmation class will resume on Wednesday, April 3rd

Youth Group will resume on Wednesday, April 10th. We are looking for volunteers to provide the meal for our Youth on the following Wednesdays- April 10th, 24th, and May 8th. Let Jill DeCent know if you or your group would like to provide a meal.

A Meal with a Mission was held on Sunday, March 10th, benefiting our Youth programs. THANK YOU to everyone that came and graciously helped put this meal on. It would NOT have happened without you!Sunday School meets on Sundays during the 10:30 service. Children are learning through stories of the New Testament. Palm Sunday is on March 24th. Prior to Sunday School, children will perform a short “Palm Parade” around the sanctuary. As a reminder, there will be no Sunday School on Resurrection Sunday, or Sunday March 31st.

And to close with the bible verse that has taken me through many seasons-Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.

Isn’t that comforting? Rest in the Lord!
