THANK YOU

Dear Kids Class at Belpre—Thank you all so much for your cards!

meet cute little Haddie. Love you all, Travis, Kate, and Hadas-

COURAGE TO CHANGE In the time of Jesus, every Jewish house had a place

for private devotion. It was located where the door

could be closed on distractions and interruptions.

Such a place was often a small room built on a flat

roof, and people went there to draw close to God.

You have such a place wherever you can go to be

with God in a way you are unable to do anywhere

else. You know your time there with just you and

God will be rich and fruitful.

LOVE IN ACTION

So many people to be thankful for. This week a BIG

thank you goes out to Linny Murphy, Becky Burwell,

Carrie Love, Darien and Judy Lorentz and Marvin

Sams for all their help the past few weeks. The

pantry has been blessed recently with the delivery of

food from Walmart and we were able to share some

of our food with the food pantry that was robbed in

Marietta last week. They were very appreciative and

it is great when we can help out another pantry that

is serving our community. We are quickly running

out of room in the pantry which is making it difficult

for more than a few people to work in the room at a

time. We are in the process of trying to remedy

this.

Ron reminded us Sunday of how gracious our God

is. Are we living our lives Victoriously?? Do we truly

understand the awesome blessing of being heirs of

God?? If so, why are we not sharing our "victory"

more with those we love and meet on a daily basis??

What a wonderful gift of grace we could give so

many. Our "Love in Action" can help others live

victoriously also! There is no better gift!
