Memory Verses for Nov. & Dec.
Hebrews 10: 23-25 niv
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Bible Trivia; ~
Which Psalm did Moses write?
Psalm 90. If you go to that Psalm and look under the heading you will see a subheading in smaller letters which says something like “A Psalm of Moses.”

The name “Lucifer” is not found in the original Hebrew Old Testament nor the original Greek New Testament; from where does it come?
o Some translations (such as the King James Version) do have Lucifer, but it is not in the original Hebrew or Greek. The verse from which it comes is Isaiah 14:22a: “How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!” The morning star here is not a star, but Venus, also known as the morning star. Why does Venus shine? Because it is reflecting the sun’s light. Therefore, the morning star can be thought of as a bearer or bringer of light (that will soon come). In Latin, bearer/bringer of light is “lucem ferre.” Say this a couple of times, and you will get “Lucifer.” Therefore, Lucifer is from the Latin for “morning star,” more of a nickname than a name given to him by God. One more thing, Jesus is referred to as the “morning star” in II Peter 1:19 and Rev 22:16. Some have suggested that this means Jesus and Lucifer are the same. No, Lucifer could have been a bearer of light but he fell and was a false morning star. Jesus was the true morning star.

The word “rapture” is not in the original Greek New Testament; from where does it come?
o I Thessalonians 4:12: “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up . . . “ The Latin for “caught up” is “raptio.” And so that became “rapture.”

~ Luke 3:23: “Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry.”

When was the New Testament divided into the current chapter system
~ The chapters were added by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, who died in 1228. Therefore, the chapters were added sometime before 1228.

~ The verses were added by French publisher Robert Stephanus in his 1551 edition of the New Testament.

Bible Trivia; ~
What is the last word in the Bible?
~ Revelation 22:21: “Amen.”
How many years did Jesus’ ministry last (between His baptism and ascension)?
~ 3

How do we know it was the number of years in #5?
~ The Gospel of John records three Passovers between the time Jesus was baptized and he ascended. Since Passover occurred once a year and three were recorded during the time of Jesus’ ministry, this means Jesus’ ministry lasted around three years. (Baptism of Jesus then Passover-Passover-Passover then death/ascension.)

Bible Trivia; ~
After the Jews arrived in the Promised Land, who was their first king (not Saul)? ~ Yes, Saul was the first king which God chose to reign over Israel. But the question asked about the first king “in” Israel. This would be Abimelech. Judges 9:6 reads thus: “Then all the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo gathered beside the great tree at the pillar in Shechem to crown Abimelech king.” So, Abimelech was king over a small part of Israel. But wait, Judges 9:22 states “After Abimelech had governed Israel three years,” and so he may have been king over all of Israel. But once again, he was not the king that God chose.

What was inside the Ark of the Covenant?
~ From Hebrews 9:4b (the second part of the verse): “This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.” Presumably this last part means the second set of the 10 Commandments, the first being broken by Moses when he saw the Israelites sinning (see Exodus 32:1-20 and 34:1).

What were the names of Jesus’ half-brothers? (Catholics and Orthodox believe they were step-brothers.)
~ From Matthew 13:55 and Mark 6:3: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. Catholics and Orthodox believe Mary remained a virgin, and so these men were either brought into the marriage of Mary and Joseph from a previous marriage Joseph had been in, or, in following the custom of countries of that region, were extended family members (cousins would be called “brothers.”)

“Thank you for your service!” Even when the “sheep” would not listen or behave, you prayed and worked hard to help us understand. We are grateful for your ministry in our lives.

Others worked hard for the Kingdom along with the leaders above; their wives, elders, youth leaders, church council members, treasurers, Sunday school teachers, Kids Kub leaders, children’s church teachers, custodians, secretaries, and many more. It takes a family, the family of God.

We thank and praise you God for the many that washed, folded and packed our “parachutes”. We pray that we might continue to be faithful. Guide us as we finish the race you have set before us.

Bible Trivia; ~
Fruit of Faith
What does it mean to live out your faith? Most foundationally, it means that you ought to honor and glorify God with your life since, as believers, Christ calls us to take up our crosses and follow him (Mark 8:34). Prayer, confession, and commitment to honor the Sabbath also demonstrate evidence of true faith. And, some have even lived out their faith to the greatest extreme, standing up for Christ and losing their lives for doing so.

Bible Trivia; ~
Who God Is
The vastness of God is so great that it is impossible for us to fully grasp the depths of who he is. Though our Savior is currently preparing a place for us (John 14:2), he came down to earth in human form so that he could fulfill the requirements of the law and take the penalty for our sins. While on earth, he experienced human emotion and came face to face with the same challenges we do, yet without sin.
Quote the first and last words of our Savior while on earth?
“Why were you searching for me? Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”; and, “It is finished” (Luke 2:49; John 19:30).

With whom did our Savior spend his last Sabbath?
Simon the leper (Matt 26:6)

Who is called the light of the world?
Jesus (John 8:12; 12:46)

What was the first miracle performed by Christ?
Water turned to wine (John 2:1)

Bible Trivia; ~
Kings
Though the power of earthly kings does not compare to that of Christ, God uses kings to provide rule and authority over his creation. Daniel 2:21 says: “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”
In the Old Testament, God’s people experienced the rule of both good and evil kings. Read on to understand the progression of authority among the kings of Israel and Judah.
What king’s name meant peaceable?
Solomon (1 Chron 22:9)
Who was made king of Judah at seven years of age after having been hidden for six years?
Joash (2 Chron 23:11)
What king did God smite with leprosy?
Uzziah (2 Chron 26:19)
What king of Israel followed heathen practices by burning his children in the fire?
D. Ahaz (2 Chron 28:3)
What king was on the throne of Judah when he was only eight years old?
B. Jehoiachin (2 Chron 36:9)
What was the name of the king of Judah who had his eyes put out and then was imprisoned for life?
A. Zedekiah (Jer 52:11)

Memory Verses for May
Philippians 1:27-28
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

New Memory Verses for May
Philippians 1:27-28
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

Bible Trivia;
Heroes of the Faith
Joseph
Joseph lived a challenging life—the second-to-youngest of twelve sons, sold into slavery, mistreated on multiple occasions. Yet despite these trials, he remained steadfast and committed to following Christ. At the end of his life, God rewarded Joseph by promoting him to second-in-command over Egypt and by using him to save his people and family from famine and starvation.

How old was Joseph when his brethren sold him into slavery?
~ 17 (Gen 37:2)
Who suggested that Joseph interpret the dreams of Pharaoh?
~ The cupbearer (Gen 41:12–13)
What are the names of Joseph’s two sons? ~ Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen 41:51–52)

Bible Trivia;
Q; The apostle Paul was called by Jesus on the road to which city?
A; Damascus
If you’re familiar with the name “Damascus,” blame the news coming out of this city in war-troubled, present-day Syria. Damascus is one of the world’s oldest continuously-inhabited cities. Fun fact: It’s also the source for our word “damask,” meaning “pale reddish,” supposedly the color of Damascus roses.

Q; Which of these was NOT the name of one of Noah’s sons?
A; Aaron
Aaron appears later in the Bible, as the brother-in-law of Moses. You can remember the names of Noah’s three sons thus: “Shem” is the root of our English word “Semitic,” “Ham” because it’s also a lunch meat and thus strikes us as a strange name, and “Japheth” because it’s a nightmare for some people to pronounce. Hope that helps!

We will be having a short time of fellowship on Reserection Sunday at 9:00 am. We will have coffee and tea along with a few breakfast sweets. Let’s come together just a bit early to celebrate our Risen King!
As we are into Lent now, take a moment to think about your connection with God and how you can show your faith through kindness. During this special time, consider helping your fellow believers as they get ready for religious activities. Some might need assistance with attending services, buying necessities, or joining in community events. Be there for them! Volunteer to give them a lift so they can fully engage in their faith. Your support means a lot. If you’re interested in being a volunteer, check out the Hearts and Hands website at www.volunteerhnh.org or call (716) 406-8311 ext. 103.

Bible Trivia
“Jesus Christ, our savior, was born on Christmas Day” (from the carol “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”) No date for the birth of Jesus is mentioned in the Bible, so why does the world celebrate Christmas on December 25th?
Answer: It is the date of a pagan festival taken over by the early church.
In the absence of a biblical basis for the timing of Christmas, the church seems to have “adopted” the pagan practice of a festival around the time of the Winter Solstice. This had the double advantage of being an existing time for celebration that took place when agricultural work was at a minimum.

It is not known whether Archbishop Usher had an opinion on Christmas Day but he did calculate that the first full day of creation was October 23rd 4004 BC.

How many days after the birth of Christ did Joseph and Mary give him the name Jesus?
Answer: 8
It was required by law that eight days after the birth of a son they would circumcise him and name him. They followed the law and circumcised him and named him Jesus, as the angel had told them to, eight days after his birth. This can be found in Luke 2:21.

What, according to the Holy Gospels of Luke and Matthew, is generally considered the earliest time after His birth at which the Wise Men or Magi could have visited the baby Jesus? (Hint: the Holy Family left for a foreign country soon after their departure.)
Answer: After the baby Jesus was presented in the Temple (after the 41st day)

Since Joseph and his wife Mary and son Jesus escaped to Egypt as soon as the Magi had worshiped Jesus and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh and returned to their land, it is generally widely accepted, given the time constraints, that this Magi visit would have occurred only after the Presentation of Jesus (which would have happened sometime after the 40th day from His birth, according to Leviticus 12:1-8) in the Temple.
(Matthew 2:11,13-14) – “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. … When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.’ So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt.”
(Luke 2:22) – ‘When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord.’)”
Also, the Magi were not necessarily three (sometimes believed because of the three gifts) in number, although three being a God number (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) is favored. All we know is that they were two or more in number. Additionally, Mary and Joseph offered two pigeons at the Presentation, rather than the more expensive option of lamb and turtledove (Leviticus 12:1-8), which implies they had not yet received the costly Magi gifts.

Bible Trivia
How many baskets were still filled with food after Jesus fed the 5,000?
Answer: 12
After feeding a big crowd with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, the disciples gathered the remaining food and filled 12 baskets. This was one of the earliest miracles Jesus performed.

What kind of idol did Aaron craft for the Israelites to worship while waiting for Moses?
Answer: A Golden Calf
Aaron succumbed to the pressure the Israelites mounted on him and made a golden calf for them to worship because Moses took time before returning with the ten commandments.

How many brothers did Joseph have?
Answer: 11
Joseph lived with his brothers and one sister in the land of Canaan. He was his father’s favorite child, and this did not please his brothers.

Answer: Ishmael
While Isaac dominated as the son of Abraham, Ishmael was the first son of Abraham, and he became the father of Ishmaelites.

What animal did the staff of Moses turn into when he went to confront Pharaoh to let the Israelites go?

Turning his staff into a snake was one of the earliest signs Moses showed Pharoah, who had his magicians perform magic, but none was any match to the power of God in Moses.

Answer: 10
It took ten terrible plagues before Pharaoh was forced to let the Israelites leave Egypt, and even after they left, he sent his army after them.

PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE; A Women’s Bible Study on the book of Mark will be starting on Thursday, February 16th. Denise will be leading this study from 1:00-2:00 p.m. each Thursday in Room 2. No study book needs to be purchased; just bring your Bible. If you are interested in attending, read Mark chapter 1 before Feb. 16th.

The best way to celebrate Valentine is to remember the love of God. The Bible says, ‘for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…’ It is a time of giving. Unfortunately, however, it has become a promiscuous kind of thing. But it should be a time of giving, because if you look at the origin of Valentine, it was about the priest, who actually showed sincere love to humanity. Valentine reminds us of the gift of God to mankind and true love of God in our hearts. That we have to also love the way God loves. God loves unconditionally and sacrificially, as He loves till the very end.

We still need volunteers to bless us with Fellowship Snacks for May and June.
Please see the sign up sheet at the enterence of the sanctuary.

Announcements
MCC relief collection has been sent to their drop off site in Ephrata Pa. We collected a total of 19 completed kits, (11 school, 4 hygiene, 4 infant). Plus, several large bags of extra school supplies, soaps, first aid supplies, and blankets. Thank you everyone for your donations and love for others in the name of Christ.

Thank you to all those who filled out the recent survey. Again, it was an attempt to find places where we are like minded and could then unify together more specifically and strategically. Sunday school was almost unanimously checked. The next category that received the most checks was fellowship times. The church council is planning some Sunday fellowship meals in the near future and discerning how else we might get together. If you haven’t filled out a survey you still may and put it in Kevin’s mailbox.

Happy October Birthday to;

God is for life
An LMC statement on the overturning of Roe v. Wade (6/22)
As followers of Jesus, seeking to be a Spirit-led kingdom movement, we gladly proclaim that Jesus is life (John 11:25) and that he has come to bring abundant life to this broken and death-filled world (John 10:10). We believe that God is for life and that this includes each developing child in their mother’s womb. As Psalm 139 teaches us, the God of life is the one who forms the unborn child in the womb (v. 13) and plans out the child’s days before they are born (v. 16).
It is our prayer that the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court of the United States is a step toward an affirmation of life in our broader society. We know, however, that the country is deeply divided over abortion and its availability. We recognize that people cannot even agree whether the embryo in a mother’s womb is a human life or not, and so it is difficult to communicate without talking past one another.
We are aware that not everyone shares our values as followers of Jesus. Many will see this decision as an imposition of our Christian values on them and may resent it.
We also understand that abortion is still accessible in this country. And even if it were not legal, this would not stop abortions from taking place.
In light of all this we urge you as God’s new creation:
• To affirm and share the good news that Jesus is life and that he brings new life to this world. It is through God’s Word and Spirit that hearts and minds are changed.
• To witness to the powers-that-be that unborn children are human beings created in the image of God and that they are loved by God.
• To be consistently pro-life in all areas of life and not just with unborn children.
And to be active in assisting and caring for mothers with unwanted pregnancies before and after the child is born, welcoming them just as Jesus welcomed and blessed them (Mark 10:13-16). When we do this, we not only welcome the child, but also Jesus and indeed God (Mark 9:36-37).

Bible Trivia Answers;
Question 1 – Pniel

Question 2 – Dispersed strangers

Question 3 – Zeruia

Bible Trivia Answers;
Question 1 -Palm Sunday recalls an event in the Christian Scripture (The New Testament) of Jesus entering into Jerusalem and being greeted by the people waving palm branches. For Christians, it is a reminder of the welcoming of Jesus into our hearts and of our willingness to follow him.

Question 2 -The symbolism of the donkey may refer to the Eastern tradition that it is an animal of peace, unlike the horse which is the animal of war. A king would have ridden a horse when he was bent on war and ridden a donkey to symbolize his arrival in peace.

Question 3 -Palm branches were regarded as tokens of joy and triumph and were customarily used on festive occasions (Leviticus 23:40, Nehemiah 8:15). Kings and conquerors were welcomed with palm branches being strewn before them and waved in the air.

Welcome
Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). With a new year upon us, it is a good time to affirm once again our desire to be a follower of Jesus or perhaps decide to do so for the first time. The good news is that Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy and be in right relationship with Him. Let us put our trust in Him, praise Him and surrender our lives to Him more fully today.

Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). With a new year upon us, it is a good time to affirm once again our desire to be a follower of Jesus or perhaps decide to do so for the first time. The good news is that Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy and be in right relationship with Him. Let us put our trust in Him, praise Him and surrender our lives to Him more fully today.

June 10-11 – 50th Annual Beaver Camp Auction

As you got up, I watched and hoped you would talk to me. Just a few words, such as thanking me for something good in your life yesterday or last week would do.
But I noticed you were busy selecting the right clothes for work. I waited again to hear from you. When you ran around the house collecting papers, I knew there would be a few minutes to stop and say hello, but you never slowed down.
I wanted to tell you that I could help you accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible if you would just spend some of each day with me. At one point, you waited fifteen minutes in a chair with nothing to do. I waited to hear from you.
Then I saw you spring to your feet; I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend. I watched as off to work you went and waited patiently all day long to hear from you. With all your activities you were too busy to talk with me.
I noticed at lunch you looked around; maybe you just felt embarrassed to talk to me. You glanced three tables over and noticed some of your friends talking to me before they ate, but you wouldn’t.
There was still more time left, and I hoped that we would talk. You went home and had many things to do. After they were done, you turned on the TV; just about anything goes there and you spend many hours watching. I waited as you continued watching TV and ate your meal but again you wouldn’t talk to me.
At bedtime you were totally tired. After you said good night to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep. I had so much wanted to be part of your day. We could have had so much fun and accomplished so much together.
I love you so much that I wait every day for a thought, prayer or thanks. Well, maybe tomorrow! I’ll be waiting.

Your Friend,

God

Welcome
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples, For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods (Ps. 96: 1-4). We are a body of believers in Jesus who put our hope in God our Savior and praise him continually. It is our desire that you would experience, in our serve today, the love, comfort, and encouragement that Jesus offers each of us.

“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty. Therefore, since we have this promise, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God (2 Cor. 6:18-7:1). Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy. Let us put our trust in Him, praise Him and surrender our lives to Him more fully today.

It is our desire that you would experience, in our service today, the love, comfort and encouragement that Jesus offers each of us.

Beaver Camp ~ Did you know?
In 1914 a Dorothy Jackson and her husband bought the property were
Beaver Camp is located from a Mary Fisher. The Jacksons hired a person to
build the main lodge. They were the original owners of the dining room
tables, bookshelves, and other furniture still in use today.
In 1946, Rev. O.T. Anderson purchased the property and started
Beaver Camp for Boys. James and Lois Shapland bought and operated the
camp until 1969. In 1964 Mennonite families and churches formed a
committee to investigate the property. This committee was called the
Adirondack Mennonite Camping Association (AMCA).
In the winter of 1969, the real estate agent for the Beaver Camp for Boys took the AMCA committee members on a tour of a very snow-covered Beaver Camp. It was quite an impressive journey as they had to cross a washed-out creek with planks, and the pictures show a person carrying
an infant along the tour. Jerry Boshart notes that they also had to trudge
over a number of high snowbanks. Another interesting side note is that
Cal Beachy discovered prefabricated motel units in Batavia NY around 1975
(24 units) –purchased for $1500 and transported to Beaver Camp.
This and many other interesting stories can be found in the Beaver Camp hardcover book, published in 2019.
Many thanks to Jerry and Verna Mae for letting me borrow this book.
(Jerry is a great person to share more stories about the history of Beaver
Camp).

The above picture is the construction of the Pavilion started in October 1970
and fully enclosed by 1973

“For I Know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). Let us remember in our daily lives that God does have a plan for each of us and that we need to place our trust in Him. Reflect on that this morning as we worship together with our church family.

Pentecost is also called Whitsunday is celebrated on Sunday that falls on the 50th day of Easter. The name is derived from the Greek word “pentekoste” which means fiftieth as Pentecost Sunday takes place on the 50th day of Easter.
Pentecost significance
It is a big festival in the Christian church that observes the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other disciples following the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ. It also marks the beginning of the Christian church’s mission to the world, according to the Britannica.
The festival marks an end to the Easter cycle, which starts 90 days before with Ash Wednesday at the beginning of Lent.
When is Pentecost Sunday 2021?
Pentecost is observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter and 10 days after Ascension. As the date of Whit Sunday is decided according to the date of Easter, this day is a changeable feast.
The earliest day, Pentecost Sunday took place was on May 10th (in 1818) and the latest possible date for Pentecost is June 13th (in 2038). This year the Pentecost Sunday will be observed on Sunday, May 23rd.
Why is it called Pentecost Sunday?
Whit Sunday celebrates the Holy Spirit coming in the form of flames to the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament in Acts 2:1-31, the fifth book of the New Testament of the Bible. Many Christians recognize the descent of the Holy Spirit as the birth of the Church.

Pentecost is known by Whitsunday in the United Kingdom. “Whitsunday” is usually referred to as the white garments previously worn by the baptism candidates on this feast.
Pentecost is called “Pfingsten” in Germany. It mostly coincides with the beginning of many outdoor and springtime activities in the country.

Welcome

Dear Gracious God,
We thank you for adopting us into your family through the miracle of your grace, and for calling us to be brothers and sisters to each other. Today, loving God, we pray for our mothers:
• who cared for us when we were helpless
• who comforted us when we were hurt
• whose love and care we often took for granted.
Today we pray for:
• those who are grieving the loss of their mother,
• those who never knew their biological mother, and now yearn for her
• those who have experienced the wonder of an adopted mother’s love
• the families separated by war or conflict.
• Lord, give them special blessings.
Keep us united with you and with each other, so that we can be and become all that we are meant to be.

You, O Lord are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to us and have mercy on us; grant your strength to your servants and save our children(Ps. 86: 15-16). We, as a congregation, want to bring honor to Him in all we do. It is our desire that you would experience, in our service today, the love, comfort and encouragement that Jesus offers each of us. If you are unsure about what it means to be reconciled to God, it would be our delight to talk with you.

Psalms 61:1

Announcements

There is a new greeter and offertory flower sign-up sheet in the foyer.

I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord (Ps. 27: 13-14). We serve a faithful God who promises good things to those who love Him. Look for the ways that God is working faithfully in your life. The good news is that Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy and be in right relationship with Him. Let us put our trust in Him, Praise Him and surrender our lives to Him more fully today.

On Monday Hurricane Eta Struck Central America, and it’s effects hit Eastern Guatemala hard, where Hope of Life International is located. Raging rivers, flooding and mud slides have devastated the area. Many of us have some kind of a connection to Hope of Life, either we have been there, sponsor a child from there or have prayed for them through the years. Our brother and sisters at HOL and that area so badly devastated need our prayers more than ever now. Please pray for the Lord to protect and strengthen them through this difficult time and provide for all their needs.

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you (Ps. 130: 1-4). We are a body of believes who put our trust in an all-knowing and ever-present God; one who knows our shortcomings but forgives us when we ask for it. We know that Jesus loves us and faithfully works in our lives.

BE A TOURIST
One of the most popular tourist attractions in our area is Niagara Falls. With fewer out of town visitors expected, you can enjoy this natural wonder right in our own backyard. There are plenty of paved scenic walkways that are a leisurely stroll for most people and beginner–level hikes such as Great Gorge Scenic Overlook Hike and Upper Great Gorge Hike. Don’t miss Goat Island for a closer look at the top of Horseshoe Falls. There are longer, more challenging hikes as well, such as Devil’s Hole Rapids and Whirlpool Rapids Adventure Hike. You’ll need proper footwear and a moderate level of fitness. Don’t venture off the marked trails. It’s easy to slip into the gorge.

Fun Pandemic Activity Ideas;
Historic recipe hunt: Call a relative and ask her to walk you through a longtime family recipe. Then make it. If she claims you have to have a certain ingredient or the recipe won’t work, ask for another recipe.

Make Christmas cookie dough in advance:
Dave Schmidt has suggested making and freezing the dough for your favorite Christmas cookies. Think of the time this could save at such a busy time of the year. Dave is also available for any taste testing of the yummy end result! https://www.goodlifeeats.com/tip-how-to-freeze-cookie-dough/ https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/our-best-christmas-cookie-recipes/

Family game night: Have a weekly game night, and rotate who chooses the game. We’ll be playing Monopoly this weekend at my house. The first time, we’ll use the Hasbro rules. The second time, we may use the lesser-known rules from The Landlord’s Game, the original game created by Elizabeth Magie Phillips.

Lego challenges: Give everyone a bag of Lego pieces and charge your crew with building a house, a store, a park, their school or a castle in the sky — and then set the timer. Creativity wins! (There are great 30-day Lego challenges to be found online.)

July 14th, 6:30 Church Council Meeting

Announcements:

Fun Pandemic Activity Ideas;
Make a time capsule.
Find a small box, and then walk around your house gathering items that represent the reality of your present-day life: A newspaper or magazine, photographs, recent receipts, last week’s grocery store list, letters or greeting cards, and so on. You could even include a flash drive with photos or a video you and your family make for your “future selves” to watch. Put it all in the box, tape it up securely, and write a date on the outside saying when you’re allowed to open it — say, 10 or 15 years from now. You’ll probably have fun compiling a slice of your daily life, and you’ll enjoy reflecting on those items in the future even more, when your lives and the world have changed.

Try Geocaching.
Part outdoor adventure, part treasure hunt, Geocaching — hiking in search of hidden “caches” you can track by their GPS coordinates — is one of our family’s favorite frugal activities. If you have a GPS device or a smartphone, you don’t need to buy anything else to get started.

Just visit Geocaching.com and type in your home address (or the address where you plan to be walking or hiking), and you’ll likely find a few geocaches stashed in the area. Pick one, add the coordinates to your GPS (or just use the app on your smartphone), and head out the door, letting your device serve as a treasure map.

Do some amateur stargazing.
Go outside on a clear evening, preferably away from city lights, and look up at the sky. Use some handy star maps or an app such as SkyView Free to know what you’re looking at. Spread out some blankets on the ground, lay flat on your back, stare upwards, and realize how magnificent the universe is around you.

Make Christmas gifts in advance.
If you know already that some people will be on your Christmas list, why not spend some time now making them interesting and thoughtful gifts and saving yourself some money over the long haul? Make them some homemade soap, some homemade hot chocolate mix, and maybe a bottle of homemade beer as a gift. Prepare all of these items, then go ahead and box and wrap them, since they’ll stay good for months.
Not only is the gift less expensive than what you’d spend at your local department store, it’s also more thoughtful, and it’ll save you time during the harried Christmas season.

The Holy Spirit: Dew
I will be like the dew to Israel.
Hosea 14:5
The Holy Spirit is Dew who can refresh your spirit with His presence today. Feel Him! He is Dew, coming gently to leave refreshment, even when you can’t see with your physical eyes. Do you feel the spiritual moisture? He is Dew who leaves your spiritual face damp when it’s not raining. Experience Him! He is Dew, coming silently, invisibly and softly; let His presence work in your life.
Lord, be Dew to refresh me when I’m tired. The unsaved don’t understand spirituality, nor do they believe in You. Be Dew to moisten my arid soul, to refresh my spirit this day.
The Holy Spirit is Dew to reinvigorate your vision; open up your soul to see more things from God. He is Dew to reignite those who are about to give up the battle; let Him re-equip you for spiritual warfare. He is Dew to reinvigorate those who quit working. He can reenlist you this day. He is Dew, like the early morning dampness that makes the grass and plants grow, even when there’s no rain. Let Him be Dew who gives you new purpose in life.
Go Deeper: Hosea 14
The Holy Spirit refreshes our hearts like morning dew.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord (Ps. 27:13-14). We serve a faithful God who promises good things to those who love Him. Look for the ways that God is working faithfully in your life. The good news is that Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy and be in right relationship with Him. Let us put our trust in Him, praise Him and surrender our lives to Him more fully today.

So it is God who decides to show mercy.

Welcome

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom (Ps. 145: 1-3). Christ reconciles us to the Father through his blood shed for us in order that we may be made holy. Let us praise Him and surrender our lives to him more fully today.
