2012   LENTEN MISSION TABLE!!!

   SEVERAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED SUNDAY MORNING.  I HOPE YOU WILL TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT THE DISPLAYS AND SEE HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED IN PROJECTS DURING THIS LENTEN SEASON:

   SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE ONES WE HAVE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE WITH AND OTHERS ARE NEW.  EACH ONE IS ONE THAT YOU CAN BE INVOLVED WITH IN SOME SMALL WAY THAT WILL MAKE A BIG IMPACT.  MUCH TIME A SMALL PROJECT IS AMAZING IN ITS ENCOURAGEMENT FACTOR.

 

Sympathy and Compassion

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room.

As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent.

Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair.

Placing his hand on the man's, he said, "I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller, too."

MAY YOU AND I REMEMBER THE LORD SAYS… WE ARE WITNESSES…..AND WITNESS OF HIS GRACE ALL WEEK!!!

GOD BLESS YOU!!

SEE YOU WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!
