1. To love the Lord our God

with all our heart and with all

our soul and with all our mind

and with all our strength.

2. To love our neighbors as

ourselves.

3. To go and make

disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name

of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, and

teaching them to obey

everything Christ has

commanded us.

‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the

pagans run after all these things, and

your heavenly Father knows that you

need them. 33 But seek first his

kingdom and his righteousness, and all

these things will be given to you as well.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomor-

row, for tomorrow will worry about

itself. Each day has enough trouble of

its own.” (Matt. 6:31-34)

At first you protest, “It’s great to

say, ‘Just live today,’ but I can’t

solve these problems in one day!”

And a subtle internal voice

whispers, “You don’t have to. Even

if it turns out to be many days, the

God who knows what you need will

solve things at the perfect time.

You just need to rest in that truth

today.”

PM Preview TONIGHT: Singing at

Park Place at 5:45 pm

Have you ever had one of those

days when you just felt over-

whelmed? You’ve taken your body

to work yet one more time, but the

lingering illness makes your mind

feel like a November fog that just

won’t burn off. You’re trying to stay

motivated to tackle the “to do” list,

but your eyes want to check the

clock once again to see if you’re

any closer to heading home.

You tried to respond to events out-

side your control so that tax time

wouldn’t be difficult, but now you

realize you owe thousands by April

15. It’s not the first time you’ve

owed something, but the slack in

the budget that usually was there

went down the drain last month with

the unexpected plumbing problem.

Oh, and the larger house payment

due to an insufficient escrow ac-

count. Did I mention the changes in

insurance?

You’ve tried to figure out that

person who continues to catch you

by surprise. It ought to be easy to

get along, but you can’t figure out

what chemical reaction creates an

explosion each time you have to

collaborate.

And you don’t even begin to ask

how all the technology in your life

knows it’s absolutely the wrong time

to misbehave. So, it all misbehaves.

You open your Bible and read again,

“31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall

we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or

March 21 - 28, 2015 is our annual mission trip to

Richmond California. Our students dedicate their

entire Spring Break working to assist with the

facilities themselves as well as caring for and

teaching those who are in the rescue mission.

Thank you for praying for us as we prepare to

donate our time, and thank you once again for your support!!

If you would like to get more involved and bless the students even more,

you can sign up to bring dinner or dessert for Tuesday Night Discussions.

We still have dates available that will fit your schedule. Our students love

getting to meet you one on one, and truly enjoy your generosity with good

food.
