April 18, 2011... Training Materials

Greetings to each of you on a wintry, April morning... it's not funny! PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who helped make Palm Sunday a wonderful experience for the entire congregation. I believe that everyone enjoyed the choir presentation of "Come to the Cross". I share my personal thanks to our choir for a fine presentation. I can not imagine someone not enjoying the cantata. Thank you goes out to Dee Wilson and all of the musicians and singers who had a part whether it was being part of the group, readers, soloists, or sound booth operators. Great Job!!! Special appreciation goes out to the Teen Quiz Team for their victory of coming in fourth place in the Teens Involved competition a few days ago. They will move on to the next level. Great job teens (and leaders)!!! MONTHLY AUDIO: Please see the April 4, 2011 blog for the link to the audio.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Second Corinthians, chapter 8 and verse 12, we are taught that an important component of giving is doing so willingly. We are to give to the Lord's work in a manner that shows the desire of our hearts. We are to give based upon what we have... no what someone else has. We give freely because it is an expression of generosity. God has freely given to us... we should respond in kind.
