Rather they should nourish your hopeful expectancy in the hearty fruitfulness to come. Don’t be discouraged. The fresh sunrise will reveal God’s insight and provision for your problems. As he illuminates your situation, you’ll see that what brought you despair was really an opportunity to rely on God and not on self. LOVE IN ACTION Our week to staff BAM's store is March 24th-28th. This outlet store is such a blessing to those in need in our community. If you can volunteer even a few hours, please see Anita or Lori Kirk. David Platt reminds us, "When we find ourselves annoyed, bitter, or even angry with unbelievers, let the mercy shown to you overflow in compassion. Remember that you too were in rebellion toward God, blind to the truth and beauty of the gospel of Christ. Reflect on God’s grace in your OWN salvation, and fight pride with amazement!" That amazement should fuel our desire to reach out to all! JAMAICA The Jamaica Mission Team will be going to Barnes Pen, in St. Catherine Parish this summer, July 3-12, 2014. Anyone interested in joining the team is asked to see Mary Ann Thorn. ________________________________________ New address and phone directories are completed and are on the tables in both foyers.
