Williams will join us to share a short message entitled “Trapped”.

Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors for a night of food,

fellowship, and fun! Plus there will be a chance to win a SCCY CPX

9mm! Raffle tickets will be $5, with all proceeds going to Women’s

Care Center of Parkersburg.

DANIEL PLAN

Many have heard of and have begun the "Daniel Plan." In the Daniel

Plan one learns the power of prayer, the power of faith, the power of

letting God's spirit refocus your thoughts, the power of fellowship

and community in a supportive small group. Most of all, one learns

the power of God's spirit inside you, helping you to make the

changes God wants to make and you want to make. For real change

to take place, we have to come to the place where we stop thinking

we can change on our own and start trusting God to create the

change within us. Many have expressed an interest in beginning a

group at the Belpre church. If you are interested in this, please

contact Sharon McClead or Ruthie White.

NEW BULLETIN FORMAT

Within the next few weeks, we will be seeing a new bulletin!! The

new program will be friendly to visitors, highlighting ministries and

helping new people connect to the family here at Belpre.

COURAGE TO CHANGE

The Courage to Change ministry will begin their special speaker

meetings on the third Thursday of the month starting March 19,

2015. The first guest speaker we have scheduled is

Brett Hower, our student intern. He will be speaking about the

book Gods at War by Kevin Idleman. He will tell how reading this

book changed his concept of sin and changed his thinking about

spiritual matters. Several of us have read this book and highly

recommend it. We have three copies available to borrow from

the Courage to Change resource room. Join us March 19 to hear

Brett. If you would like to borrow the book, see Mary Ann Thorn.

LOVE IN ACTION

Since we are in the midst of a flu epidemic, nationwide,

remember we have hand sanitizers available at each entrance

of the building. Another $1000 donation has been made to

Disaster Relief. Please remember to fill the baby bottles also

and return them to Sharon or Anita.

Suppose someone asked what the mission of the church

is......how would you answer? Although the church

accomplishes many tasks, its only message to the world is the

gospel of Christ. When we are truly committed to getting the

gospel out, God will reveal what work He is calling us to do. He

has a place for every one of us—nobody is insignificant or

unusable. The limiting factor is not the Lord's ability to use us

but our availability to His call. May we all be more available this

year!

VISION SUNDAY

And Jesus came and said to them,

“All authority in heaven and on earth

has been given to me. Go therefore

and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy

Spirit, teaching them to observe all

that I have commanded you. And

behold, I am with you always,

to the end of the age.”

~Matthew 28:18-20

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a

manner worthy of the calling to which you have been

called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience,

bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the

unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

~Ephesians 4:3
