I woke up early this morning just thinking about what an amazing God we serve! I am so thankful for my husband and children and how God has kept His promises of watching, guiding and protecting them. But I am also thankful for growth of ministries that are happening in the church. God Is Amazing!
Last Sunday, Sherry Motcheck's sermon on Jehovah Shalom brought us all to a place to knowing where our peace is. Are we depending on God for our peace, or on ourselves? If we depend on ourselves, then that brings us to separation with God. This coming Sunday, Pastor Henrik will be presenting another name of God, "Jehovah Nissi", God is our Banner. I have really enjoyed learning these names and am looking forward to listening to it live from the website as we are traveling to SC for vacation. If you have missed any of the weeks, you can also listen to it from our website.
On the second and fourth Monday (April 11 & April 25), Jim and Suze Snyder have been leading a Life Group (as we are now calling them) entitled "Mountain Movers." They meet at 7:00 pm in the church office area. Do you have "mountains" in your life that you are struggling to climb, pass through or even move out of the way? This class will help you to fight those spiritual battles that keep you from moving forward.
In the last 26 years since we have been attending Prayer and Praise, I have never seen a movement of God touching the lives of men like we are seeing now. Ladies, when your husband comes home excited for the things of God because a group of men are gathering once a week to pray for each other, fast with each other and are encouraging each other to become better husbands, fathers and leaders, that what brings a new environment of growth in our families and our church. Keep your eyes open, I believe we are going to see our men of God become bold and strong warriors. The Men's Ministry meets every Tuesday night at the church at 7:00 pm. All men are invited.
On Wednesday evenings @ 7pm, let's "Come and See!" Lynn & Christine Thompson will leading this Life Group. For eight weeks you will be presented with one question and discover the answer to that question. The group is open to everyone and you can join in at anytime. This is a great stepping stone to getting connected with our church. Not connected yet? Get connected by joining a of the Life Groups. You can pick up a Life Groups brochure at the Welcome Center.
Are you a women looking for a way to "get connected" with other ladies of the church? In our busy lives as wives, mothers, volunteers, taxi drivers and executive administrators of our homes, we have a hard time finding time to connect. We are now meeting once a month on different Sunday evenings for a time of fellowship and growing together in the Lord. Women's Ministry will meet from 5pm - 7pm on April 17th @ Jaynie Manier's home (1824 S. Pere Marquette Hwy.) for soup and relationship building. Invite a friend to come along. If you'd like to bring a soup, bread or dessert, call Dawn 843-3470.
This week is about discovering our amazing God! Every Saturday evening at 7:00pm - 8:30pm you can come and encounter God through prayer and worship at Harp & Bowl. Each week we have a different prayer focus.
Looking for some prayer focus this week? Remember Emma Bob from Romania? She is now on the road to India with a DTS team from the Cluj YWAM base. Let's pray for protection, God's grace in their travels and for the leading of the Holy Spirit as they minister over the next few weeks. I will keep you updated as I receive emails. Let's continue to lift up Myrna Weaver for the manifestation of healing and for their grandson Jacob as he is currently going through physical therapy at Mary Free Bed to become stronger before they begin chemo. Jacob is nine years old, so it would great to involve your children in praying for him.
I am praying you all to have an awesome and amazing week with God. Feel free to post a comment on what God has done "amazing" in your life this week.
Jehovah Sholom, Debbie
