April 6... Weekly Training Materials

Greetings on this very snowy day in April... not very funny! Welcome to Michigan, the winter wonderland! Oh well, we are off and running on this day that the Lord has made.

PERSONAL NOTE: Allow me the opportunity to thank the choir and our other musicians for making yesterday a great Palm Sunday. I want to thank all of the scripture readers for their participation along with Bud's solo/video presentation. I thought that the morning was a great time of worship and adoration. Praise God.

I want to remind you of all of the events of this holy week. Wednesday we have our regular evening service; Thursday at 7 PM., we will enjoy a Maundy Thursday service; Friday we will celebrate Good Friday at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church... our time slot is from about 2 to 3 PM. Don't forget Easter Sunday... it starts with breakfast at 8 AM. It is a busy week but an exciting week as we celebrate what Jesus did for each of us.

I want to congratulate our children workers for a very successful children's Easter party last Wednesday. There were over 90 (it looked like 500) involved in it! W-O-W! Great job leaders. A mighty "thank you" is given to all who were involved.

MONTHLY AUDIO: The audio for this month is about Decision Making. You can find it at this LINK.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING FEATURED ARTICLE: The article for this week is entitled: Ungrieving Grievances. You can download it at this LINK.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION: I would like to recommend for your consideration the book by Ralph Muncaster entitled: Examine the Evidence. You will find it extremely helpful in dealing with some great theological and apologetic issues. It is written mostly with the average Christian in mind. I know that you will find it extremely helpful.

BONUS CHRISTIAN LIVING ARTICLE: The article entitled What is the Nature of True Saving Faith? can be found at this LINK.

GOD'S WILL FOR YOU: In First Peter 1:13, we see a command from the Lord to prepare your mind for action. You can know that this is God's will for you today! Let us put it into practice.

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: " Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal." Vince Lombardi

Thank you again for stopping by and I pray that we will have a super week sering the Lord together!
