And what have you started? Did you make a New Years Resolution? Is it attainable or impossible to attain?
I found this card in my old Bible case a while back and I would like to share it with you.
Blessings for your New Year -
Purpose: As you complete your daily tasks, may you understand how they contribute to the larger purpose of your life. May you experience deep satisfaction as you discover and carry out your unique role.
Fullfilling work: May you take pleasure in all your work. May every task you undertake succeed, and may you enjoy the good things your labor supplies.
Your Health: May you and those you love remain strong in body and free from disease. May those who suffer from injury or illness recover quickly and completely.
Peace of Mind: May your mind and heart always be at rest. May graditude and peace replace every anxious, fearful thought.
Laughter: May you laugh long and often. May each day be filled with gladness so that even your sorrows turn into joy.
Read your Bible daily: Prepare your heart for Bible study. John 17:17 says "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your Word is Truth." Ask and it shall be given. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you today. To show you where He desires you to be in His Word today. Just open your Bible, no particular place, just ask what He would desire from you today. Than Read a Chapter, Ask the Holy Spirit to explain it to you, than reread it again. Opening the eyes of your heart so that you may see Him. After this is complete, open your heart to pray. Affirm Jesus, you can start like this... I love you Jesus, I adore you Jesus, I love you, thank you for loving me, thank you for my salvation, thank you for waiting for me for so long. Thank you for my children, for my husband, for my wife, thank you Lord for the blessings they are, for the people you created them to be. Thank you Lord for you, for dying on the cross for me, for being the sacrificial lamb of God. For all that I have from you. For my job, for my home, for everything, Hallelujah Jesus... Than you can ask whatever you need from him. Than start praying for others asking in His name, In the Name of Jesus I pray for... In the Name of Jesus... I ask for .... Start praying in Jesus name, the name above all names.
Than sit quietly for a few minutes, if your mind wonders, bring it back to a quiet place, and continue. Jesus wants to speak to you, he desires this quiet time with you. He desires your heart and your mind and your soul and all your strength.

Awana Starts with Parents Night. We would like to have a Parents Meeting at 6:00 to explain how the books work, and The Awana Games.
Awana Games coming up on Sat. April 4th. We can take 15 - 18 Sparks, T&T Girls - 18 and Boys 18. So sign ups will start very soon. The cost is $5 per child to play. This pays for our registration. If you have a child in Sparks and T&T please plan to bring your lunch. The day is long. Sparks play at 10:30 and T&T at 1:30. If your child signs up, they need to be there 1 hour prior to playing. It is very confusing and very harried if you come after this. We need to make sure every child who is playing has a shirt, we have to check in as a church 20 min. before we have to be on the floor. The Games will be held at Papillion LaVista Highschool on 90th St. and Hwy 370.
Awana Bible Quizzing - I would love it if you took the time to go watch this, Sparks 2nd graders and all of T&T. It is held in Omaha, Nebraska - February 14 / 9:00 am & 1:00 pm Evangelical Bible Church - 7820 Fort St
Next year, we will be taking a team 12 boys and 12 girls. I encourage everyone to go and watch this year so we can see what we need to do for next year. Parents and Leaders and Clubbers, please be a part of watching this.

His Peace Always, Janette

Three tickets are drawn each week for a prize. Children will also use their Bibles during gathering time and their class time.
