Announcements:
The State Overseer, Bro. Jones, will be here on April 25, 2010. Please make your plans to be here that day.
Angelfood Pickup Day will be on the 24th, and the folks will begin to take the boxes at 9am that Saturday morning. If you can assist, please be here at the church by 8 or 8:30 to get organized. It is a big job and a wonderul ministry. Since Carol and Rick are gone on vacation, we realize how valuable they are, and we will be so glad to see them return home. Again, thanks to the Girl Scouts and to the volunteers for all the help, Jan and Joan Watkins are special ladies.
If you've not purchased a WCFC teeshirt, see Margi while there is still a choice of sizes. They are only $10.
It's Spring. The time to celebrate Jesus' victory over death and His ascention to Heaven. He is now seated at the right hand of the Father but He left something behind-the Holy Spirit. This was not the last goodbye however. Read Acts 1:6-11. The disciples had spent 40 days with Jesus after He arose from the dead, and now He was taken up to Heaven. We humans are impatient, but the Lord is not. We must learn to rely on God, trust in Him, have faith and show faith in the Lord. Acts 1:1 tells that Jesus began to do and teach, and it is an unfinished task. We are asked to pick up and work because as Christ told us in John 9:4....the night comes when no man can work. That is a quote and direct warning from Jesus Himself. After the Rapture, who will preach? Angels! and they will be saying: Get Saved!!!! Men's hearts get so hard, they will not repent, yet the Gospel cannot be stopped and it is fool-proof. Jesus is all we need.
Do you understand that God loves you? So many people have the image of a vengeful, condemning, hateful God, ready to zap you when you do wrong, just out to get you. But He is a real friend, the best friend anyone could ever have and one you can talk to about anything. He died a gruesome, agonizing, undeserved, cruel for a world that hated Him. Such love can no man's heart understand. Our love is limited, but the love of the Father is unlimited. Let us allow our light to shine through our Lord Jesus.
"This is and has been the Father's work from the beginning-to bring us into the home of His heart".
