Haggai 2:6-9
Hebrews 12: 25-29
Message
“Shaken, but still Standing”
|
|
|
A note from Pastor Stella:
Our whole world has been shaken, but we are not powerless. The Apostle Paul writes to the church at Corinth and tells them that we are fragile, like clay jars,
“…so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” - 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
We are shaken, but still standing.
We will worship.
Go to the church
Facebook
page Sunday during our regularly scheduled worship time of 9am and watch live, or watch the video later on
Facebook
or
YouTube
later in the day.
We will care for one another.
We know many of you are already caring for your neighbors, friends, and family. We are setting up a phone tree to strengthen that and make sure everyone in our congregation is connected, cared for, and prayed for. Our pastor is on call at (512) 415-6708 and keeping up weekly devotionals
www.pastorstella.net
. Our blessing box is open.
We will weather the storm.
We know this is a time of financial stress, but some of you are still able to give to the church and would like to. You can mail your check (PO Box 69, Kyle), or consider
giving on line
.
We will hope.
Easter is coming. We will have special online messages on Palm Sunday and every day of holy week, including Good Friday at 7pm. And when Easter comes we will celebrate and sing “Christ the Lord is Risen Today!” out in the streets and neighborhoods as loud as we can.
May this very difficult Lent be set aside and holy for you.
God is in charge. All will be well. – Pastor Stella

FREE GARAGE SALE POSTPONED
We're still encouraging you to LIGHTEN YOUR LIFE FOR LENT!
Go through those extra closets and dresser drawers and pass on what you no longer need.
Although the Free Garage Sale is postponed, you can still use this opportunity while you are at home to do some spring cleaning. We will still need your items at a later date! We anticipate a great need as people are losing their jobs and having other financial hardships during this challenging time.
We've done this twice in the past, and we've heard testimonial after testimonial about how helpful it is for our community. God has moved mountains for people through this act of service, and people are already asking about this year's date. Please prayerfully consider what you're able to donate and know that it matters. People receive help they desperately need, and they see Christ moving.
