A NOTE FROM PASTOR TIM 

 

Living When It's Hard

 

Richard Cromie wrote a book entitled "How to Live with Cancer" in which he uses the acrostic C-A -N-C-E-R to develop his theme. While it certainly applies to cancer, I share it with you because it applies to many of life's hardships.

 

C - Conquer the fear.  Christ will see you through.

               

A - Anticipate the struggle;  your body's defenses will respond.

 

N - Never give up!  One day, we all surrender, no one lives forever - but keep going, progress is being made all the time.

 

C - Call for help.  Share with others how you feel; they love you, but you must tell them what you need.

 

E - Enjoy the time you have.  Life is measured in days - live one day at a time, enjoying every minute.

 

R - Renew your faith.  Only a few things matter in the end.  Love matters.  Hope matters.  Faith matters.  And you matter!  Call upon the Lord - he cares.

 

 

 


In faith,

CONGREGATIONAL MTG.


Congregational Meeting

Sunday, May 12, 9:30 am

 

There will be a congregational meeting Sunday, May 12, at the 9:30 a.m. worship service, to act on the following:

  • Nomination of Carl Winchell for Deacon, Class of 2014
  • Nomination of Sylvia Merrill, auditor, two-year term
  • Motion to change the by-laws of the church to allow for up to 45 deacons to served on the Board of Deacons; fifteen deacons would serve in each class. 

 

Reason: We currently have 35 deacons; the growth of the church results in more deacons being needed.
