"  Jesus asked them, "Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.
For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand."
Then he added, "Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given-and you will receive even more.To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.""
-Mark 4:21-25 NLT
Light penetrates the darkness. You who have been listening to Jesus have that Light!
If you don't think that you have the capability to shine that light, YOU ARE WRONG. Jesus is that Light and He can and will shine through YOU! It's on Him to Shine through you, and it's on you to not crawl under the bed or a basket!

Each week, we will need some help for our coffee time:
1) Bring some Baked Goods: We will need baked goods (homemade or store-bought) every Sunday. There will be a clipboard on the patio for sign-ups. 2) Be a part of the Team: We need folks who will set up, serve, clean up, or just hang out to encourage the Body!
