Prayer Meeting – Saturday, April 3rd – 8 a.m. followed by a work day at Archie Hobson’s home.

It’s Spring Cleaning time again … volunteers are needed to clean the church building. A list is posted on the bulletin board. Sign for the areas you will clean and check them off after cleaning is completed. Come at your own convenience. Let’s get our building cleaned before Easter!

An Easter Party is planned for Saturday, April 10 at 2 p.m. for preschoolers through 4th graders. Parents, please bring individually wrapped candy and plastic eggs to Shari Cecil.

On April 4th, Dwight Brennfoerder will present our building plans to the congregation in the morning service. Then on April 11th (Easter) our entire offering will go into the Building Fund. Be praying about this project!

The Real Miracle

Matthew 14:13-22

We are all filled with wonder at the miraculous signs which Jesus did during His earthly ministry. We wonder how He did them and how can they be explained? After all, witnessing miracles just isn’t a part of our life’s experience. Or is it?

Consider the process of a new baby formed in the womb.

A. About nine months from fertilization to birth --- what happens in those nine months is amazing!

B. Psalm 139:13-17

Consider the body of Christ--- the church.

C. Many human "cells" knit together in one body --- loyal to one head (Christ)

D. I Cor. 12:12-13, 18-27

E. The "miracle" of love.

Consider every new-born Christian.

F. Eternal life --- beyond the natural.

G. A "dirty" sinner can be "cleaned up" by the blood of Christ at baptism.

Can any miracle top what God can do for the vilest sinner? If you are still in sin, allow God to wash you clean in the blood of His Son Jesus!
