Dnow at the Great Wolf Lodge!!!! March 7-9 Disciple Now this year is going to be great! We are spending Friday and Saturday at the Great Wolf Lodge then camping out at the church (indoors) Sat. night! The theme is Make It Real. We know a lot of the right answers but sometimes those answers don’t permeate our actions and attitudes. Matt. 7:22-23 talks about those who seemed to know what to say but they never actually knew God. They didn’t “Make it Real.” I hope your student will be a part of this exciting, transformative weekend. Cost is $50.00 which covers everything. Drop your student off at the Great Wolf Lodge anytime after school on Friday if they would like to swim early! They need to be settled in their rooms and down to the first session at 6:30p.m. (eat dinner before you come.) You will pick your student up from FBC Shawnee after Church on Sunday Morning. Graduation Sunday May 18th 2014 We would like to celebrate your Graduate as a church Family. If you have a student graduating high school this year and would like them to be recognized, please email or bring me 5-6 pictures as well as a few details:
- The college your graduate is planning to attend - What major they might pursue. - Favorite memories from youth ministry - Favorite Scripture verse. (& translation if preferred.) - quote/shout out.

Taylor's Gift, by Todd and Tara Storch After the devastating loss of their 13 year-old daugh-ter in a skiing accident, the Storches find strength in God and hope as they choose to give life to five desperate people through organ donation. This is a courageous story of giving life and renewing hope.
As Good as She Imagined, by Roxanna Greene On the day Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson, AZ, 9 year old Christina-Taylor Green died, the youngest of the six victims who lost their lives. This is her mother's account of Christina's life, death, and inspiring legacy. With the help of au-thor Jerry B. Jenkins, Roxanna shares her family's journey of faith and their quest for redemption.
Set Free, by Stephen Owens with Ken Abraham A compelling story (true) of the freedom of forgiveness amidst murder and betrayal.

You don’t realize how special some things are until you are not able to do them. Due to the holidays, weather and other reasons, we have had a rocky time getting back into choir rehearsals. Choir practice is one of my favorite times of the week. A good rehearsal can make the week great and give you that much more energy. A bad rehearsal? We don’t have those because the choir knows that we exist to make great the name of the Lord. But this last Sunday, the frozen wasteland that has been our home started to thaw. We were able to have rehearsal and for the first time we got a glance at the Easter program.
That all leads me to say this; if you considered joining choir in the past but didn’t know if it was a good time then now is the time you should join. If you want to be a part of a team who uses their voices to praise God and lead others in worship, then you should join choir. Even in rehearsal, we sing and make music to the Lord because we know that we can worship at other times besides 10:30 on Sunday morning. Another great ministry of the choir is that we encourage and pray for one another. We support each other in times of need.
Another area of service is that of handbells. Even if you are “not the best reader,” but you like to spend time with people who love to laugh and have fun making music then you might want to try handbells. We rehearse Monday evenings at 7:00.
