Women of the Word
This month we continued our study from the book by Marilyn Meberg called, "God At Our Wit's End". This fantastic series of studies takes us through all of the "faulty thinking" that prevents us frrom fully knowing God. In February, due to the holiday, we met on the 4th Monday of the month and discussed our tendency to think others may have an easier life.

In March we will go back to our regular meeting day of the 3rd Monday of the month, which is March 19. We look forward to talking about the way we sometimes try to hide our true feelings from God.

We begin each month with a pot luck dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by a one hour study beginning at 7:00 pm. We would love to see you there!


Home League
This past week many ladies began learning how to cross stitch on small samplers. It's a lost art, and it's been fun to give it a try! This week we will continue our cross stitching, as well as folding and assembling our annual calendars. Our program this week will be led by Carol Hammond, with the focus: "Accentuate The Positive".

Please check the calendar of events on this website to see what our program will be from week to week - we have interesting programs, field trips, parties, and special speakers planned for the rest of 2007.....Come join us at 10:00 am each Tuesday!!


YPL
In Quinton's absence (hope you get to feeling better Q), I had a chance to plan and coordinate the activities for our teens. It seemed they had fun while playing some games that showed that while we are different, we have many similar interests. Looking forward to having Quinton back.


Sunday Worship
I hope you enjoyed our worship service as much as I did! It was very nice to see Majors Don and Pearl Pack for their second Sunday. They have mentioned that they will be attending the Vancouver Corps as their home Corps. It was nice to have one their sons, Ron and his family, join us as well. We had several visitors from the community join us, and we hope you all took time to make them feel welcome!

We have moved through Doctrine 8 of The Salvation Army Doctrines now.

Last week we looked at Doctrines 5 and 6: Salvation Provided.

This week I discussed Salvation Received by looking at Doctrines 7 and 8.

Doctrine 7 tells us that salvation is dependent on these three actions:

1. Repentence toward God


2. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ


3. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit

But receiving the gift of salvation doesn't end there. Doctrine 8 points out that a person that has been justified by God's grace, has the witness in himself.

Simply put, as believers we must be an example of Christ in all that we do. It is an important part of being a believer that what people see in us is a witness and testimony of what Christ has done for us, and is doing through us.

Next Week: Doctrine 9 - Salvation Maintained
