Join us Saturday, March 23, from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a pancake and sausage breakfast in our fellowship hall. The Easter Bunny will be walking around to greet the children and our preschool parents will have a basket auction also. Come out and be part of the fun!
Are you feeling tired? Are you questioning your purpose in life? Are you in search of spiritual healing? On March 17, Church of the Apostles UCC will include a time of anointing during both the 9:15 AM and 10:45 AM worship services. Trusting in the promise of God’s presence with us and God’s desire for wholeness in the world, we come as broken or hurting people in search of restoration. We gather to experience the “new thing” God is doing among us as we anoint each other.
Come out for fun and fellowship to watch the movie on the “big screen” in our fellowship hall. Bring sleeping bags and a snack to share. Movie will start at 6:30 PM. Adults will be asked to help “stuff” Easter eggs for the egg hunt to be held on Saturday, March 23 at 10:30 AM in the church courtyard.
Our society encourages individualism with phrases like “Don’t tread on me” and “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” This seems to stand in contrast to Paul’s letter to the church of Corinth where he suggests that although we are individuals we are meant to unite as one body, the body of Christ. As the body of Christ, no part or individual is any greater than other and each is dependent on the others, an interdependence centered in Jesus our Christ.
In his Letter from Birmingham Jail of 1963, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, “Moreover, I am cognizant of the inter-relatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
When do we see the effect of our words, choices and actions on others? Recognizing that we “all fall short of the glory of God,” what is Christ’s message to us? In what ways is God nudging you to make a difference in our world?
Prayer: God of infinite possibilities and limitless grace, guide this day in thoughts, words and actions to share your love with all people. Amen.

As we seek to name how God is revealed in our lives. We looked at the special talents and interests that God has given us. Our youth were challenged to consider this as was our Council during their meeting this month. What special talents or interests did God give you? How are you using them in your every day life?
We just had a great time letting everyone know about what we can do on a Saturday with nothing else to do but go to this event.
This just an event that I think everyone will want to go to. Everyone should get up and get and check out the newest thing that has come since sliced bread.
