It's almost May

Wow! Can you believe that this year went so fast? Just months ago, the children started school, some Sunday school and Awana.

Awana is coming to a close this year! We celebrate Wednesday night April 29th, at 6 p.m. We do have childcare available for those younger than 2. If you need to bring coloring books and crayons, please do to keep your little one busy. This night will be a celebration for what Jesus has done in your children and in this ministry. I have a celebration surprise for the parents, so come and join us at St. Paul's.

Goodbye Faith Westwood, we have enjoyed our stay.

Kingdom Quest is studying Paul's missions. We are enjoying two rooms that we hadn't had for a short time. We have an incredible summer planned for the kids!

We have a daytime summer bible study, 3 days a week, 2 hours a day; we have a wonderful Sunday school planned, we have a Family Campout in June (look below, all the information for these things are on here). AMEN Grill will be meeting on Wednesday nights during the summer. We have vacation Bible School June 7-12. If you sign up before April 30 it is much less than if you wait until afterwards.

Be faithful in the big and little things you have in your life. If you are committed to a place, stay there until God moves you. The blessings are on the otherside of your obedience. While there, don't condemn those around you, accept those that are not like you and love them anyway. Jesus went to everyone, he didn't stay with those that thought they knew the law, he went to everyone everywhere. The Bible says, "let no weapon formed against us prosper, all that rise up against us shall fall". In Timothy, he says let no one despise your youth. It doesn't matter that you can sit in church and pew sit, it matters that you have a relationship with Jesus. The gate is wide but narrow is the way, we can think that if we are a good person, if we do everything we are suppose to for the church,(that's the wide way) but we don't have a true, fruit bearing relationship with Jesus, that is the narrow way. That's the reason we press on, through the good, the bad, and the ugly and we know Jesus as our savior, we have survived and are not the victims.

See ya soon, have a blessed day!
