Doin' God's Work for February 17, 2009

God has blessed us this week, assuring us that winter is not over. He showed his powers in Washington, DC and the east and west coasts, making me thankful to be in the Midwest. Temperatures dipped below my preference, but He brought them back up to help melt some snow. Yes, a challenging winter almost any place you look. I personally feel He is shaking the earth to wake us up and make known His awesome powers. HE is in full control of all of the elements that surround us.

There are a few days left before Lent begins. What changes do you think HE may be desiring for you to make? How can we become a better person and serve the one true God? Starting Ash Wednesday and lasting until May 23rd, let us spend 90 minutes of service to God. Caring for our neighbor, writing notes or phone calls of encouragement, etc.; sometimes, the little things mean a lot. Giving of our time is Doin' God's work.

February 14th to March 2nd, the church will be collecting gifts to send to soldiers in Iraw. They may include magazines, reading materials, snack foods, toiletries, and money donations to help with the postage to mail them. I'm sure they are doing way more than 90 minutes of service for protecting our freedom to worship freely.

Bible study turned into prayer time as many were absent due to health issues. There are many who need His divine touch. We will open the Bible to Genesis Chapter 2. Hopefully, everyone will be physically and spiritually desiring to seek His word Thursday morning at 9:30. Hope to see you there in the Word.

Pastor Sue was at the pulpit Sunday with a sermon on God's radience and awesome power. HE is the light of the world! In these troubled times, it is good to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Join us 8:30 Sunday and 6 p.m. Wednesday in church.

After church, some attended the baby shower for Tim and Jenni Wall. It was good fun, good food, and fellowship by all who attended. We pray for them a healthy baby to arrive in a few short weeks. May God continue to bless them and those whose lives they touch. May God also bless and keep you healthy and strong this week as we serve God.
