The other night I heard Melissa

talking to my mother on the phone. My

mother called her in response to something

she posted on her Facebook page. It seems

Melissa was looking at her mother-in-law's

page and it said that Carolyn was interested

in the "Whiskey Tasting Festival". Melissa

knowing a little about her mother-in-law

could not help but post a response, "I didn't

know you drank whiskey".

You can probably sense where this is

going. my mother does not drink whiskey or

any kind of alcohol for that matter. A strong

allergy to alcohol has always presented a

rather high barrier to enjoying alcoholic

beverages. I share many of my families’

allergies but thankfully this is not one of

them. My mother was calling Melissa to

laugh about how this could have ended up on

her Facebook page. My mother fixed her

Facebook page in short order. As she

continued to speak to Melissa I heard

Melissa tell my mom that we were finally

starting to see the ground.

I looked out the window and

thought, "Wow we are starting to see the

ground". Spring in some respects appears to

have arrived. Of course, this does not mean

we can't still get a lot more snow and cold,

but it seems things are moving in the right

direction. Spring is a wonderful time of the

year. After all the snow and cold it is nice to

get a little break. Spring is a time for new life

and new beginnings.

God apparently likes spring too,

Revelation 21:1-7 " 1 Then I saw “a new

heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven

and the first earth had passed away, and there

was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City,

the new Jerusalem, coming down out of

heaven from God, prepared as a bride

beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I

heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

“Look! God’s dwelling place is now among

the people, and he will dwell with them.

They will be his people, and God himself

will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He

will wipe every tear from their eyes. There

will be no more death’ or mourning or crying

or pain, for the old order of things has passed

away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne

said, “I am making everything new!” Then

he said, “Write this down, for these words

are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me:

“It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,

the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I

will give water without cost from the spring

of the water of life. 7 Those who are

victorious will inherit all this, and I will be

their God and they will be my children." (Continued on page 3)

The Good News is all about new beginnings. What greater way for God to

show us his desire for us to have a new life and a new beginning then coming out

of the tomb after three days? If that does not bespeak of new beginnings I am

uncertain what would. God offers us in Jesus new beginnings each day, over our

life and for all eternity. Let us make the most of the new beginnings God so

lavishly offers us.

Peace in Christ,

Mark

We hope everyone had a blessed Easter as we head into the days leading up to

Volume 49, Issue 4 Page 5

Easter is on April 1, 2018 and many of us feel that Christmas is the most important day of the year but the winds of March have left us and Easter is arriving

with our blessings.

The Apostle Paul put it this way: “If Christ has not been raised then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” Without the resurrection of Christ.....there would be no Christian faith. Christ’s resurrection is the solid

proof of His Divinity.

Christ brought us the promise of new life, both on earth and in heaven. We can

also reflect on the past knowing we are forgiven as a new life begins. Christ comes into our lives and so do people for a season or a lifetime. We have to remember to thank our friends in church, and our neighbors as well, who have come into our lives for a reason or a season. They may teach you something you have never known. They may even give you an unbelievable

amount of joy.

Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons whether you are a reason, a

season or a lifetime.

Please, be my friend for lifetime.

Don Myers, CRE

Youth group will finish the month of April with meetings 8, 15, 22, 29

learning along side the Duck Dynasty teens. We have had an amazing

year building relationships with our youth group students seeing them

growing and becoming more comfortable in our group and in their faith

with God.

Fund Raiser for Organ Update

The organ is in need of an update. There is a recording system on it that allows Kay to

record what she is playing and then use that recording as playback to accompany her or it

can be used to simply play a song. The system has become obsolete and needs to be re-

placed. (For those of you technically savvy, the recordings are placed on a 3.5” floppy…

The new system would place all recordings on a flash drive.)

The church is accepting donations to this update through May 1st. The expected cost is

$2,000. Donations may be placed in a pew envelope marked “Organ” or you can place a

separate check in your weekly offering envelope with a memo marked “Organ”.

If you have any questions about this update, feel free to speak to Rev. Gabbard, a

member of the Trustees, or Kay.

For Your Safety…

As we all know, shootings in churches have been in the news more and more over

the last few years and, unfortunately, we no longer live in the society that many of

us remember when churches were left unlocked all the time and anyone could come

in and seek a quiet time with God as their need required.

To address the situation in our church, your church leadership has put together a Security Team to seek

information and establish policies to keep all who come to our church as safe as possible while we gather

together in worship, fellowship, and outreach.

Beginning Monday, April 30th, the church doors will be locked at all times except for established

exceptions to allow entry for scheduled events or gatherings. All entry during office hours will be through

the Bingham door only and everyone will have to buzz for admittance unless they are an authorized key

holder. There will be a limited time when doors are unlocked for everyone to gather for worship services

or other events. Anyone not entering during the established time frame will have to go to the Bingham

door for admittance.

There are still many areas of the policy that your Security Team is working out and we will have another

article in next month’s newsletter as well as inserts in the bulletins. Many of the changes may not be

welcome ones, but in today’s climate of unrest, it is necessary to take all steps possible to keep everyone

safe as we gather together to worship and do God’s work.

Spring is upon us, a time for celebration and renewal of life as the snow melts away and flowers begin to sprout. As we look ahead to spring and summer please remember that VBS is no so far away. VBS is the June 25 through June 29th. Volunteers are needed to make this another successful ministry to our area youth. There are many ways to volunteer and support VBS, giving of your time, giving of your resources and through prayer, to name a few. Please contact the church office or Amy Lawson for more information on how you can help with this wonder outreach program.

and Peter

Mark 16:7 (KJV, NIV, NRSV, CSB)

My Dear Friends,

I have read the Biblical record of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ numerous times. In fact, we can read a passage so

many times that we really do not read it, or take it all in. I believe Mark 16:7 to be one of those scriptures.

All of the Gospels tell us about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Yet, the four gospels each give us a different nuance as they

write to us. For example, Mark tells us about the spokesman (angel) in the tomb. Luke tells there were two angels in the

tomb.

Mark has the distinction in 16:7 of informing us that the women were commanded to go tell the disciples “and Peter.” Why

Peter? Mark is the only Gospel writer to tell us of this special mission to Peter. I believe that John Mark was a scribe, an

amanuensis for Peter. Mark accompanies Peter in all his travels. Mark sits at the feet of Peter and records for us what Peter

teaches. Mark is first hand source of information.

I still ask, “Why Peter?” We must remember a special event in Peter’s life. Peter was privileged to be present when Jesus

stood before Pilate. Members of the crowd pointed at Peter, accusing Peter of being Jesus’ disciple. What did Peter do? Three

times Peter denied knowing Jesus. The angel in the tomb wanted Peter to know that Peter was forgiven (John 21). Jesus

himself forgave Peter. Now we understand the urgency for the women to go and tell Peter.

My greatest joy this Easter is to hear Jesus say, “Forgiven.”

“We Sing...That They Shall Speak.”

Brought to by RightNow Media

These are confusing times for many Christians.

Traditional biblical values are not only rejected; it

seems as if they're attacked on every front. It's all hap-

pened at warp speed, leaving many of us spiritually and

culturally disoriented or even fearful, frustrated, and

angry. How can we spiritually survive in an increas-

ingly spiritually hostile environment? And is there any hope for the

next generation?

In this 5-session series, Larry Osborne introduces us to a man forced to

live in a fast-changing and godless society. This man faced fears about

the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of a world

that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. That man was Daniel,

and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only

survived, but thrived.

Each session also includes real-life stories of people struggling to thrive

in an ever-increasing godless society.
