Sky Needs You!
From Pastor Matt

You know, there are times in where I feel lonely. Times in where I feel as if God is a million miles away and that I'm not loved. (Yeah, pastors are not exempt from this feeling from time to time.) 

 

Tenth Avenue North, a Contemporary Christian group wrote this simple song called By Your Side. Click here to listen to the song, but if you don't have speakers, here are the lyrics:

 

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run 
 
 I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
 
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life 
 
 I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you 
 
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
 
Praise God that He is always by our side no matter what!
 
Later Days!

Extreme Church Makeover at Media  
Good response, we have 4 participants and 6 sponsors so far. Again, this Sunday there will be sign-up sheets for helping this Church in Media, PA. We are seeking a few more workers and financial sponsors. The total cost for three days, including food, housing and insurance is $90.00.  We'd like to see at least 6 people from Grace Community who would be willing to commit to helping this other Church. Please sign up here or use the sign-up sheet on Sunday.
Rummage Sale!
Have you got some stuff you could donate to support Youth and Women's Ministries? There are a variety of special events being planned for ministry for our youth and for the ladies during 2012. To help fund these, we will have a rummage sale this Spring.  Any and all items that you can collect, put aside and donate for this sale would be deeply appreciated.  If you'd like someone to come by and pick up your items, please email Pastor Matt.
Sky logo Sky Needs You!
We are still looking for volunteers for our Vacation Bible School, Sky! What better way to share the goodness of God's love is to interact with His children! If you would like to help in any way, email Pastor Matt. We will have more informational meetings in the weeks to come! Soar with us!
