WHY IT MATTERS
"All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation…We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."
2 Corinthians 5:18, 20
Please take a minute to listen to Rachel Grice’s experience with Work Camp. Her perspective as a new congregant of CPC with two babies all the way through to now, a mother of four teenagers, is inspiring. Rachel's insight on the “why” and how we all can help, no matter how old our kids (or if we have any at all), applies to everyone.
Please consider registering and joining us for the Work Camp Auction this weekend to support this incredible opportunity, and other vital missions in our community.

Grades K-5 (252 Curriculum)
The children assisted the Deacons by making Easter gifts for our Care Partners - Care Partners are home-bound members of our congregation who are unable to physically make it into church. The children prayed that all those who received their gifts would be reminded of their church family that loves them.
- Bottom Line: When you forgive others, it can change them.
- Monthly Memory Verse: "Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just a the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:13, NIrV
- Monthly Virtue: Forgiveness – deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn’t have to pay.

Due to the Work Camp Auction, there is no Youth Sunday school on Sunday, March 19.
-
Text: Habakkuk 1:5–2:1; Bible Study Project Video on Habakkuk
-
Topics: Disappointment with God, Surrender, Expectations
-
Big Idea of the Message: Habakkuk is disappointed that God does not seem to be answering his prayers; but God’s response indicates that, unbeknownst to the prophet, he has already begun answering them, though not according to Habakkuk’s expectations.
-
Application Point: We must let go of our expectations of how God should work in this world or how he should answer our prayers.

- Life Verse: Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:7,8)
- The Point: I will love others because God loves me.
- This last week we discussed How do I trust God for my future? We talked about how hope is both a choice and a feeling. We can choose to hope by keeping a positive attitude and by doing things that are positive - such as reading the Bible, praying, thinking about ways God has answered prayer in the past, etc.
- We continued to learn about the story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz.

Due to the Work Camp Auction, there is no High School Youth Group on Sunday, March 19.
- Hebrews 10:1-18
- Here are the small group questions we used this week:
- Highs and lows from everyone's week?
- In preparation for Easter during the season of Lent are you taking a break from anything?
- This passage is about Christ being the only sacrifice, and that we now can have a direct relationship with Jesus. Are there any practices you do to daily know God?
- What is salvation? How would you describe salvation to someone else?
- What are ways that we try to work for our salvation, instead of fully trusting Jesus?
- When we fully trust Jesus with our mistakes does it change the way we view sin?
- Prayer Requests
Work Camp registrations are due by March 18: www.bookwhen.com/columbiapresbyterian
