One-Minute Meditations 
MeditationHow many words can you think of that describe God? He is merciful, omnipotent, mighty, everlasting, and loving, to name a few. One word is "good". David certainly knew first hand of God's goodness:

"Hallelujah! Praise the name of God. Shout "Hallelujah because God's so good. The fame of God's goodness spreads across the country; His righteousness is on everybody's lips. God is good to one and all; Everything he does is suffused with grace. God is well-known as good and forgiving, big-hearted to all who ask for help. No doubt about it! God is good-good to good people, good to the good-hearted. But I nearly missed it, missed seeing His goodness. I was looking the other way, looking up to the people at the top, envying the wicked who think they have it made. Be good to your servant, God; Be as good as your word. Train me in good common sense; I'm thoroughly committed to living your way. Be good to your good people, Lord; To those whose hearts are right. Thank you, God. And why? Because you're good, because your love lasts. It never runs out."

Women's Ministry Spring Retreat Coming Soon!
Women's retreat is coming soon! It will be at Warm Beach this year. The dates are May 13-15, the costs are going to be about $100.00 to $120.00 and for the first time we have the option of staying 2 nights! We have been busy selling the remainder of the West Valley Cookbooks (they are all gone!) to use as some funds for scholarships towards the Women's retreat. Pami Hanson is also looking for anyone who would like to donate towards a scholarship as there are several women interested in attending this year. Please see Pami about getting assistance if you need a partial or full scholarship. Pami is also putting together a list of ladies who would like to attend and making
sure there is funding and rides for everyone. See Pami at church or contact her at 206.406.5115 or pumi7864@yahoo.com.
