Visions of Hope

Communion

1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How

could God let something like this happen?" (regarding the a=acks on September, 11,

hurricanes and earthquakes and recent shoo?ngs at our schools). Anne Graham gave an

extremely profound and insighAul response. She said "I believe God is deeply saddened by

this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out

of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman, He is, I believe He has

calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protec?on if we

demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists a=ack, school shoo?ngs, etc. I think it started when

Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she

didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you be=er not read the

Bible in school .... the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your

neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our

children when they misbehave because their li=le personali?es would be warped and we

might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son commi=ed suicide). We said an expert should

know what he's talking about. And we said OK. Now we're asking ourselves why our children

have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them

to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great

deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." Funny how simple it is for people to trash God

and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers

say, but ques?on what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they

spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think

twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene ar?cles pass freely through

cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you

laughing?

“Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God

thinks of us. “So, if you choose to discard God from your life, don't sit back and complain

about what bad shape the world is in. Thank you and God bless you, and God bless our

country. Anne Graham

No Na?on or people can ever survive or succeed without Jesus Christ. Have we let Jesus Christ

become an aKerthought, something we a=ended to on Sunday morning but pushed down on

our priority list the rest of the week, behind our job, our recrea?on or even our family? These

are hard ques?ons to ask because we thought we were doing fine. We thought we were

obeying God to the best of our ability. Wouldn't a simple tap on the shoulder have been

sufficient, instead of the pain we're going through? Except we tend to shrug off taps on the

shoulder. It's likely we received several and ignored them. And if you are like me, some ?mes

God needs to hit me in the head with a big brick!! Most of the ?me it takes something truly

miserable to get our a=en?on and wake us up.

Invite Christ Jesus into your heart, your home and your life. He is wai?ng with open arms.

Your sister in Christ

We con?nue to collect items to make LWR Personal Care Kits (Health Kits). Try to put yourself in the

place of someone who needed to flee and now is in a refugee camp where people live in close

quarters and do not have access to toilet facili?es, clean water or health care. Disease preven?on

through hand washing can mean the difference between life and death. Just think what the fresh

scent of soap or soKness of a towel must mean! We will be collec?ng the following items:

Lightweight bath size towels (20”x 40” or 52”x 27”; Bath size bars of soap, any brand (NO mini or

hotel size bars); Adult-size toothbrushes; Sturdy, tough combs (NO picks or fine toothed combs);

metal nail clippers. We especially could use towels and soap for comple?ng some kits at this ?me.

Please leave items in the tote by the coffee area. Any ques?ons, please talk to Carol Anderson.

We have set up a new building fund,

it is called “New Worship Fund”.

If you would like to donate to this fund

please mark on your envelope

‘New Worship Fund’.

This is different from the building fund

so please specify.

Children’s Choir will be singing on Palm Sunday, March 25.
