Call to Worship
In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the
command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.
From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.
Psalm 71 1-6
Announcements
 A Job For Everyone!
A group will be leaving the building next Saturday at 7:30 AM to head over to
the Oden’s house to start loading. If you are not an early riser just meet them at their new home in Voorhees, 802 Somerdale Rd., they plan to arrive around 2:00PM. Just because you can’t lift don’t think you don’t have a job. Everything is needed from baby holding to cleaning emptied rooms.
Warrior’s Service Project
On Sunday, March 23rd, awe will be making candy packets for the Robin’s nest. Make plans to be there.
If you have not already done so, please, sign the commitment list on the foyer table indicating that you will set aside the morning of the hunt, Saturday, April 12th, to help out.
We will be having a property clean up on March 29 starting at 9:30 in order to get the property in shape for the egg hunt. Please, try to come even if it is just for a few hours. There is much to be done before the big day!
Mario and Palmira George have a new telephone number 782-3724. Please up date your directory/phone list with this information and maybe give them a call this week to let them know they are missed.

Know Him, Love Him, Share Him
Know Him...
Encouragement from John and Brenda. Thought for your journey:
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
Love Him...
It’s in the Valleys I Grow
|
Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble, and woe
It’s then I have to remember
That it’s in the valleys I grow.
If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God’s love
And would be living in vain.
I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it’s in the valleys I grow.
I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
|
My Lord will see me through.
My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan’s loss.
Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I’m feeling so very low.
Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountains tops are glorious
but it’s in the valleys I grow.
