Wednesday at 6, we met to sing praises and pray for many. Our hearts and prayers go out at this time for those preparing for bone marrow transplants coming up. May God do wondrous things through the medical staff. Our trials must be a part of God's plan to help us grow in his likeness; to make us stronger. Reading His word and praying are tools God gave us to get in tune with what God desires to complete His plans and complete us.
Ash Wednesday services were at Ravenwood but we still got a taste of what we missed. Pastor Janis did a portion of it for us Sunday. Lenten Candles ceremony, great sermon, and the smiles of His childrens' faces made it a special service. Join us at Sheridan 8:30 Sunday morning.
It's difficult to believe that February is over half gone, even more difficult to believe daylight savings time will soon be upon us. I asked myself, "Was I more productive in the 'extra hour, doubt it!" Time is a gift which we need to use wisely. How well do we use our time for service to the Lord? Some of us feel there is just not enough time in one day; for others, they feel time drags on. May we seek God to fill in those gaps. He can guide us to do things that will change the world we live in to be a better place. If not for us, perhaps for others around us. So, mark time by doing God's work. You will be blessed for it!
Wednesday, February 20th is a busy day of events. "Make a Joyful Noise" after-school program from 3:30 to 5 pm and UMW at 6:30. Ravenwood Board Meeting will be February 24th at 12:15 and Hopkins at 5; Grant City will have their ministry meeting at 6 and board meeting on February 27th at 7. After a deep breath, we shall enter in Holy Week activities in March. May God use us, our time, and our activities to create pleasing consequences for God's kingdom.
Lenten season is a time for reflection, change, and allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to grow within us.
See you in church!
