    Todays Sermon:

    Keep Hanging On to Jesus

    THIS Saturday, March 31: Our 3rd Annual Adoption for Life yard sale is right around the

    corner! We will take donations today and throughout the week or by appointment, if

    necessary. If you have questions, or need to arrange a drop-off time, contact Mandi Perdue at

    [email protected] or (540)907-3797.

    welcome!

    Do you want to serve the church or the local community? Are you in need of counseling

    and wise pastoral counsel? Are you looking to make some Christian friends? Maybe you

    would like to be discipled, to learn some theology, to discuss the sermons and pray

    together with fellow brothers in Christ? Maybe, you have something to offer a younger

    Christian, a new mom or a troubled soul. Well, She pherding Groups is where all of this

    happens. We encourage you to make the commitment!

    "82 percent of the un-churched are at least some what likely to attend church if they are

    invited. Perhaps we need to pause on this response. Perhaps we need to restate it: More than

    eight out of ten of the un-churched said they would come to church if they were

    invited." Thom Rainer

    If you take anything from the above quote, at least see that inviting people to church is worth

    the risk. What better to invite than Easter. A nd, to make it easier we will be having services at

    11:00 AM (no 9:30 services).

    Life in the Valley: The Christians Peculiar Perspective on

    The Psalmist writes, "Though I walk through the valley of the s

    evil. For You are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort me." For

    trite religious expression. But for those who have walked the dark r

    that they are not alone. However, Psalm 23 does present a problem.

    the valley? Should we not be atop the mountain peaks? Shouldn't w

    Pastor Brandon is currently looking at the topic of suffering. With the

    are tackling some of the toughest questions regarding pain. Why me?

    is to blame? We will see in the end that the Christian perspective on

    other perspective this world has to offer. W e will look into the face of

    hope that the Bible offers. But, most of all we will look into the face

    suffered on our account.
