We will be honoring our high school gradu-ates during the morning service on Sunday, April 30, with a reception to follow in the Family Life Center. We encourage you to join us as we celebrate this milestone in their lives. Our graduates are Leah Augustine, Carli Tharp, Jesse Case, Kahlea Nez, and Nick Tay-lor. Each student will have a display table, with a basket for cards of well wishes and encouragement.

Everyone is invited to the wedding shower for Jeffrey Carr and Sam Blankenship. Jeff is our youth intern and is a TNU student. Sam attends MTSU. Everyone is encouraged to come to this

month’s Higher Ground Ministry meeting, not just our widows. The speaker, Shahe Nahler, will tell her story of leaving Islam, becoming a Christian, and living a new life in Jesus.

We want to make sure every child can attend camp this summer. Please consider sponsor-ing a child by making a donation on Sunday, April 23. Make checks payable to the church and mark as “Kid’s camp”. Thank you!

The men’s and women’s groups will meet each Saturday, 6-8PM, for 6-9 months. Participants guide is $17. Register online at gracenaz.com or see Rebecca Bailey.

THE DISPLAY OF LOVE

“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.”

John 15:9 NLT

JESUS LOVED ___________________________. “The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “ Luke 10:35 NLT JESUS LOVED ___________________________. “But generous people _________________________________________, and they _____________________________________________.”

Isaiah 32:8 NLT

JESUS LOVED ___________________________. “Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, _________________________________________________________________. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything - all she had to live on.’ ” Mark 12:41-44 NLT God is saying this to me today:
