Greetings!   

 

I don't forward emails too often, however once in a while there is that one email that just speaks to me.  Below is one of those emails.   

 

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl.  She wanted to know what the United States looked like.

 

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was
printed the map of the country.  Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to her and said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together.  This will show you our whole country today...'

 

After a few minutes, she returned and handed him

Map of USA

the map, correctly fitted and taped together.

 

The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly..


Jesus
'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus.  When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.'

 

AMEN!!!!

God Bless you and your family.  Enjoy your day & we will see you Sunday!

Chocolate Covered Easter Eggs

 

Once again our Easter egg production team will be making delicious chocolate covered Easter eggs.  The proceeds will benefit the restoration of our beautiful stained glass windows.  We have five fillings available this year:  peanut butter, maple/pecan, butter crème, coconut and a new flavor this year of double chocolate (chocolate inside/chocolate outside).  The cost is still $2.50 per egg.

 

We hope you will take orders from your friends, co-workers and neighbors.  Just take their order, collect their money and put it in an envelope and bring it to the "egg table" on Sunday mornings beginning February 27.  We will continue to sell eggs up through Palm Sunday, April 17.  Order forms are available in the Narthex.  You may print out an order form by clicking HERE
