Every Day is Easter Every Day is Easter Every Day is Easter Every Day is Easter

“Easter comes but once a year,” so many people say, But, to a person saved from sin, it’s Easter every day!

A man, when saved or “born again” his life, to Christ, will give.

And, as a new-born babe in Christ, he’s just begun to live.

“I am the resurrection, life”, the Savior, one day, said: “And he, believing in my Word, shall live, though he be dead.”

And that well known Apostle, Paul, in Philippi made plain;

“For me to live is Jesus Christ, for me to die is gain.”

So when the Blood of Christ, our Lord, redeems a soul from sin; Every day is Easter, for Jesus lives within!

—Carolyn Orr

just go out to eat somewhere nearer home.

Mission Project by our

High School Girls

Novesta’s High School girls are putting a dresser in the hallway for us to fill the drawers with baby clothes, blankets, shampoos, lotions, etc. The items donated will be given to Positive Alternatives to help new moms in providing for their babies. So when you’re shopping, stop and buy some baby items and let’s help the girls fill the dresser. Wouldn’t it be great if they had to empty it so it could be filled again and again?

PRAYER

MINISTRY

SPEAKS

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time.

Casting all your cares upon him for he careth for you.” I Peter 5:6-7 KJ

Spend time in prayer and please make these

your Prayer requests for April 2010: • Pray for us to show ourselves approved unto God.

II Timothy 2:15

• Pray for us to live above depression, living in love which is a fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22

• Pray for us to overcome unknown fear of tomor-row for contentment is great gain. I Timothy 6:6

• Pray for us to desire the sincere milk of the Word, that we may grow. I Peter 2:2

• Pray for us to always be ready for Jesus’ return for we know not the day or hour. Matthew 24:36

• Pray for us to learn how the grace of God teaches the believer how to live. Titus 2:11-12

• Pray for us to hold on to our faith. Matt. 24:23-26

Remember,

Guardian Angels, to be faithful in your prayers

Community Prayer Topic:

Our prayers should be for our service men and women in the midst of deployments and separa-tion from family and loved ones. We should pray for them to stand in faith and trust in God’s infal-lible Word. Pray for them to read Psalm 91. It will not only encourage the soldiers, but it also begin a Spirit inspired relationship with God.

A special note from me you: Keep our Church family in unity and keep with

God’s plan for Novesta.

Hi! Do you suppose Spring is

here to stay? I hope so. It’s so

nice to be outdoors enjoying

God’s handiwork and all the

Spring flowers coming up. I may plant a little

garden in case you all don’t leave me enough

crumbs.

It’s been fun being a mouse seeing all the

work and activity going on here lately. Doesn’t

the new changes of the foyer and auditorium

look nice? We’ll have room for everyone coming

and going and room to greet each other. I saw a

bunch of painters here to help. Thanks to every-

one who helped—it looks great! Have you vis-

ited the new library location?

Ladies, don’t forget to see if you have any

cotton fabric the Comfort Ministry could use for

making quilts.

Your happy but hungry church mouse,

Just a reminder to encourage

your children to attend summer

camp. It is a great experience

for them. If they go to Wolver-

ine Christian Service Camp or Rock Lake

Christian Assembly the church pays half of

the registration. Summer camp schedules are

available so that you can plan your summer

vacations accordingly.

d o o r n o i n w e g

We want to thank all those who gave so gener-

ously of their time and “muscles” to help with

the remodeling. It looks GREAT!!! It would

be hard to mention everyone’s name (I’d be

sure to miss some). Some nights there were

25+ people here to help. Walls were gutted, painting needed done,

woodwork was refinished, pews had to be car-

ried out in order to put the carpet down and

then they had to be carried back in, the li-

brary received shelving, there was lots of car-

rying stuffing from one place to another and

then back again, etc. The carpet looks great. The majority of the

cost of the carpeting came from Mardell

Ware’s memorial (Thank you, Ware family).

My TributeMy TributeMy TributeMy Tribute She was born in the early 1900’s and lived six months short of 100 years. Her life was full of hard-ships and good times as well. If you were to ask her if she had a good life, she would answer with a posi-tive yes. She was my teacher for life. My Mother first loved her Lord with all her heart. She and my Father had a marriage that was lasting and was the example for their children and anyone that knew them. They never ran away from their struggles but together worked through them. Mother was the last child born into a family of a third marriage. She enjoyed telling people she had 12 brothers and sisters but she was an only child. She was raised with nieces and nephews because they were closer in age. She outlived all of her siblings and most of the next generation. She was the one that many came to for family history, guidance and counseling. I am the 4th of 5 children born to our parents and things that I remember might be a little different from what my brothers recall. When we grew up there was not a lot of money or possessions but we were always clothed and fed. I recall my brother saying, “I didn’t know we were poor if Mom hadn’t told me.” Our home was a place where relatives felt wel-come and sometimes came unexpected. It was tradi-tion to always have a meal because going to a restau-rant wasn’t even heard of. Mother would quietly tell me to put on a tablecloth and lots of dishes. I guess more dishes looked like more food. She would use two where one would have done nicely. When dinner was ready, Mother would ask the Lord to bless the meal. He heard her prayer and answered because no one ever went away hungry. I think she followed the example in the Bible where Jesus took the loaves and fishes and asked His Father to feed the 5000. We never had a crowd that large but it shows us that when you give it to the Lord, anything is possible. Mother was a country school teacher, farm worker, bookkeeper, Sunday School teacher, and most importantly … my Mother. She taught me to love, laugh, forgive, and to read God’s Word. In her last days when her hearing, eyesight and physical health was failing her, she still was the “teacher.” Through this she taught me humility and how to handle life when you can’t do much anymore, and most of all, it is alright to cry.

WOODBURN CHRISTIAN CHILDREN’S HOME

Lee Bracey is coming to share his work on April 11. Lee has served many years as the director the Woodburn Christian Children's Home. Novesta is Vivian's (Lee's wife) home church. It will be good to hear about their ministry. Following is what Woodburn's website (www.wcchonline.org) says about their ministry. The Woodburn Christian Children's Home, a ministry of Christian Churches and

Churches of Christ, is broadly supported by the community throughout the tri-state area. Since 1972, this special home has provided a Christian family environment for children who are homeless or who have other special needs. WCCH is supported entirely by voluntary contribution. We receive no federal, state or county support. We are entirely dependent upon our private contributors who enable us to operate on a cash basis. WCCH operates very efficiently. Our cost of caring for a child is about half the average cost of similar child-care throughout the tri-state area. Children are evaluated on a needs basis and family participation is on a sliding scale. Over the years, WCCH has provided a home for many children who had little or no ability to pay.
