Can we ever truly imagine dying for everyone else's sake?
Every single wrong that all people have committed?
Let us not just simply repeat words in scripture,
but may
WE LIVE
how God has instructed
by picking up our own cross & following Jesus.
Nothing easy is worth having.

Sermon Text: Psalm 130
Sermon Title: "Watch For The Morning"
Waiting for Divine Redemption
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.

Crisis Control Ministry
My good friends!
Crisis Control Ministry is requesting for the month of March INSTANT GRITS. Even though our weeks have warm days, I'm sure ol' man
Winter isn't through with us just yet. Anything warm in the tummy starts the day off better and gives energy to last until lunch. Be generous with your gift as we remember there are so many folks who depend on us. The big, white box awaits your gifts.

Hello all and Happy March!
March is Women's History Month, so we will celebrate by learning about four women from the Bible whose perseverance, faith, generosity, and praise serve as guideposts for our lives today.
We are looking forward to the Blessing of the Animals and the Easter Egg Hunt on
April 11th at 10 am!
Peace,
Kaitlin

He worked at Family Services in Shreveport, LA, where he became President of the NASW chapter and helped integrate the chapter. He was Director of Family Services in Corpus Christi, Texas. He also worked at Child Guidance Clinics in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When he moved to Winston-Salem, NC he became Head of the Social Work department with the Child Guidance Clinic and later worked for Family Services until his retirement. Upon his retirement, he and Janette moved to Charlotte to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
John was a member of the Rotary Club in Corpus Christi and Winston-Salem. He served as a Deacon and Elder at First Christian Church in Winston-Salem. He and Janette are currently members at SouthPark Christian Church in Charlotte.
John loved music, playing in the 90th Division Army Reserve Band and singing in the church choir for many years. He enjoyed stamp collecting, tennis, coaching his children's soccer and basketball teams, gardening, and being the family historian.

He is survived by his wife Janette; his son, Paul Riefenberg and (wife Terrie); his daughter Erica Donnalley and (husband Kevin); his grandchildren Kayla Donnalley, Thomas Donnalley and Matthew Donnalley; and his sister, Louise Naven of Austin, Texas.
