Doin' God's Work for April 8th, 2009

Sheridan United Methodist Church notes by Glenda Wyer
Wednesday evening, there was a good turnout to sing praises, but there is always room for more voices to chime in. Some just need that extra fellowship to get us through the rest of the week before Sunday services. We missed a few regulars due to upcoming nuptials. Praying for God to bless all marriages and those who chose to renew their vows recently.
Thursday Bible study, we welcomed visitors to the study. We didn’t welcome the big snow flakes that followed them in. God heard our prayers; by mid-afternoon, the snow seemed to have disappeared. Yes, this is Missouri; stick around, the weather will change! All of are anxious for it to feel like Spring. I wonder if the old wise tale may apply this year; "If it rains on Easter Sunday, seven Sundays of rain will follow." Editor’s note -- showers are indeed forecast for Easter Sunday.
Several turned out for the Auxillary Hen Party Friday. The ladies had a lot of good food prepared. My luck at playing Bingo hasn’t improved. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
Palm Sunday always holds a special meaning for me. Special Easter services will be at the Grant City Methodist Church April 6th to 10th at 7:00 a.m. Many celebrate Good Friday and Easter with special church services, family, and friends. May we give thanks for what the cross represents and continue to do God’s work. See you on Easter Sunday and give thanks that Jesus took our place on the cross for our sins!
