Pastor’s Corner

By Rev. Richard Hasley

“Now the length of time the Israelite people

lived in Egypt was 430 years, at the end of the 430

years, to the very day, all the LORD’S divisions left

Egypt. Because the LORD kept vigil that night to

bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the

Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for

the generations to come.” (Exodus 12:40-42)

As we enter the month that welcomes spring,

we look forward to the warmer weather, the

greening of the grass and trees, perhaps even a

few flowers popping up in a few weeks. Do you

know a word that describes all those wonderful

things? Change.

We like things to be ordered. Predictable.

Safe. The Hebrews felt that way as well. But, if

they had not listened to Moses and embraced

change, even if it was scary and unpredictable,

they would have remained slaves forever.

If Abraham had not obeyed

the leading of God and left

his ancestral home, we would

never have heard of him and

he would never have become

the father of a nation.

Change can be very good, as

long as God is in the change.

What is God leading you

to change? Perhaps it is

finally putting Him first, and

making Him the LORD of

your life. Perhaps it is

inviting that person that’s

been on your mind to church.

Perhaps it is joining the choir

or volunteering in a ministry.

Whatever it may be, if God is

prompting you, do it!

Embrace the change,

knowing the LORD is with

you and has something

wonderful I mind. See you in

church!

Preschool News Announcements

During the month of February, the children

learned the letters, V, H and B. They had their

valentine’s party and learned about the parts

of their bodies. We have experienced many

snow days and two hour delays. On March

2nd, Dr. Jones will visit with the students and

talk to them about keeping their bodies

healthy. During the month of March the

children will be learning the letters D, C, G

and E. Their themes will be Dr. Seuss, St.

Patrick’s Day and Easter. They will also learn

the bible story of Daniel and the lions as well

as the meaning of Easter. The children will be

singing in church on Sunday, March 29th

during the morning worship service. The

preschool is hoping the winter weather is

almost over and look forward the spring.

The March equinox on the

20th or 21st marks the

astronomical beginning

of SPRING. The choir is doing a mini cantata on

Easter Sunday. They are looking for

new members. Practice is every

Wednesday @ 7:30 pm. See Gary

Barker for any questions concerning

the choir.

SWAT NEWS & HE’S ALIVE

Hello again everyone and God bless you!

A lot of news to report to you this month as the youth has been very busy. We’ve been

practicing a lot for He’s Alive this year. We meet every Sunday in Wheeling to practice for

the big production on March 27-29th. This year we have many youth participating like usual

and they are excited to do the outreach.

In addition to this event we have all of our regular scheduled SWAT meetings on Thursdays.

We are getting ready for our Spring and Summer activities too. This would include things

like: fundraisers, Faith Ranch trip, King’s Island trip, VBS, and some concert opportunities.

I find it difficult to try and inform you every month what we’re doing because it seems more

and more things pop up that we’re participating in. The young soldiers of SWAT are

continuing to grow in number and in spirit. They try very hard to bring in their peers and

show them the Love of God. I couldn’t be more proud of this youth group!!!

I also want to take this time to thank the youth sponsors that help me on Thursdays and

through all of our events. I just couldn’t manage SWAT without them. Thank you

sponsors!!!

good like medicine”
