MINISTRIES

COURAGE TO CHANGE

Cathy Harper is the coordinator for the Right Path program in our

area. She will be our guest speaker this coming Thursday April

17. The Right Path program is a program designed to encourage

teens and young people to be active in their community by volun-

teering. It is structured to encourage activity, build self esteem

and teach young people how to make good decisions and right

choices now and for their future. Cathy works with young people

in the Right Path program educating them on the dangers of

drugs and the advantages of living a productive life. She will be

speaking at the Courage to Change meeting at 7:00. We want to

invite our college age young people, our teens and parents of

teens to be a part of our meeting.

LOVE IN ACTION

A special thanks goes out to BIZ Tech on Emerson Ave. for their

generosity in donating a laptop, keyboard, and mouse to the

pantry! This will enable us to finally go online with our pantry

clients and the information that is required for them. It will take

us some time to get all the information downloaded, but, in the

end, will help us keep records more efficiently. We also want to

thank Denise Kaufman for her continued work on providing Bible

lessons and papers to our weekend children. Some of the chil-

dren have stated they love these and look forward to receiving

these as much as the food! A special thanks also to Janet Smith

and Gwen Crum who have agreed to do a Friday night each

month to deliver the food bags to the kids. As each of us work

together, we pray we can surrender more to God and love HIM

completely, love others compassionately, and love ourselves

correctly.

elder at the Lubeck Church of Christ.

Kelly Mallett is back in CCMH in room 131 for pain management for internal

The Substitution:

The Sacrifice:

Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus

who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!” And he said, “Why, what evil has he

done?” But they shouted all the more,

“Let him be crucified!”

~Matthew 27:22-23
