Souldesign: Now Go

LIVING A LIFE OF LOVE

We will wrap up our study this week with a look at the opportunities before us to let our light shine for others to see. With Easter one week away, we want to invite our family and friends to one of our services. People are waiting for genuine love and compassion. Let’s bring it to them!

GOOD FRIDAY

Our annual Good Friday service begins at 12:15pm on April 6. It is a wonderful time of reflection regarding the supreme gift of love Jesus gave.

EASTER

Four services to choose from where we will present the Easter message . . . “God So Loved . . .” Saturday, April 7 at 7:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am, 10:30am and Noon. It is going to be a wonderful celebration of life.

SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING

We have an opportunity to place a digital sign on our property right next the Hwy. 50. Our bylaws require the approval of our members when we consider an expenditure exceeding $250,000. The cost of the sign would be in excess of this amount but will also provide a revenue opportunity to cover its cost through advertising. We would retain at least half of the ad space available for our messaging and sell the other half to cover the cost of the sign which would be paid off in five years. Our meeting will convene to consider this at 1:30pm on Sunday, April 1, in the Sanctuary.

Philippians 4:4-6 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Barriers to Love

The life we live is quite complicated in the way we are affected by its circumstances. This Sunday we will look at how we can overcome the barriers that are placed in our path to keep us from a life of love. God’s love and grace is bigger than any obstacle.

THE STUDY

Each Wednesday evening following the 6:13 prayer meeting there is an opportunity to go deeper in our knowledge of God’s Word. For the month of March I will be teaching from the New Testament letter of 1 Peter concerning how we can live faithfully in relationship to God in the midst of a corrupt world. There will also be time for interaction as I will field any questions about our current Souldesign emphasis. I’m looking forward to spending some intimate time with you in The Study.


CCS BASKETBALL SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP

Friday at 5:30 pm at Power Balance Arena (formerly Arco) our High School boy’s basketball team will play Central Catholic for the Section Championship. If you love basketball, come and support our team.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
