Rainy Day

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I am so thankful to see this rain. We surely need it. God certainly knows when to time things to occur. Always in His perfect plan!

I have a few announcements I want to share with you. This is a busy time of year for our students. Especially for those preparing to graduate. I remember when I graduated from high school and college. It was truly a scary, but memorable stepping stone in my life. My wish for those that will be graduating this year is that you follow God's plan for your life and not let things of this world influence your decisions for your future(s). We have a higher goal than anything this world has to offer. Just remember to keep God in all aspects of your life and you will wind up where you are supposed to be. Always turn to Him for His ever faithful guidance. He will not guide you astray!

If you know of someone who is graduating this year, please call the church office and let them know. Make sure to give the name of how it should appear in the bulletin. We want to be sure to recognize our graduates and don't want to leave anyone out! Congratulations and best wishes to each of you!!

XYZ club: you will be meeting Friday, May 19th at 7pm. A picnic meal will be provided. Be sure to make note of this on your calendars (the old date had been the 12th, but that has been changed in lieu of another event taking place in our fellowship hall that evening).

Speaking of which...remember to pray for our two young people who will be joined in marriage that Saturday (May 13th). The blushing bride and her handsome groom will surely have a life filled with love because it will be based on God and His expectations for them! Congratulations and best wedding wishes to you both!

It is my understanding that the youth raised $312 at the car wash they had a couple of weekends ago. I also understand that amount will be matched. That means that altogether they will have raised $624 to be used towards their summer ministries. Keep up the good work!!

Also, summertime is fast approaching and the grass at the cemetery will be in need of cutting. Donations to maintain the Riverside Cemetery will be helpful, appreciated and they are tax deductible. Please keep this in mind!!

Mother's Day is next Sunday (May 14th). Remember to take the time to let our mother's know how much they mean to us. Mother's contribute so much to our lives. I don't know where I would be without mine!!!! So remember to take a moment to share encouraging words and blessings with those precious women who influence our lives!

Hope you all have a good week. Take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
