Home League
This past week 17 ladies gathered in Hazel Dell Park for a potluck picnic and games. The food was FABULOUS - thank you to all the ladies who brought everything from homemade lasagne, to salads, to chicken and rice, to freshly baked chocolate muffins! Unfortunately, the weather did NOT cooperate. We were COLD! But, the fellowship was wonderful, and we certainly did enjoy each other's company.
This Tuesday the Home League will meet at the Church building for a planning meeting, where we will discuss what programs we will have for the next several months.
Join us at 10:00 am each week for fun, fellowship, and the support of other women!
For more information, please contact Captain Ronalee or Julie Goude.

Sunday Morning Prayer Focus
At 9:15 Sunday morning we open the Sanctuary for a time of focused prayer. We begin with a few minutes of shared prayer, where we bring our own personal requests to pray over as a group. This is followed by a time of quiet and personal prayer, with a written prayer focus provided as a guide.
This week our focus was based on the idea of humility. Our prayer should be that we never let pride or arrogance stand in the way of our Spiritual growth.
We invite you to join us for this time of prayer each Sunday morning, immediately followed by our Sunday School and Bible classes.
For more information, please contact Captain Ronalee.

Sunday Worship
Message
Mark preached a sermon that should that God does not love everything, and neither should we.
1 John 2:12-17, gives us a warning to not love the world.
The first thing to point out is that the warning is not in regards to God's creation. Rather, it is in regards to the sin that has become so prevelent in our world. If we are to be God's children, then we must recognize that just because something looks, tastes, or feels good that it should be a part of our life.
There is a creature that roams the seas that many people are afraid of. I happen to think that its elegant, swift, and sleek. Yes, I like sharks. But that does not mean that I am going to swim right out and try to hand feed one like its a pet.
The things of this world will pass away. So what does God want us to do then? His will. It is in doing God's will that we will have eternal life.
