Happy Mothers' Day
"Her children rise up and bless her; her husband also, and he praises her, saying, "Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.--Proverbs 31:28-30
We praise God for the women of our congregation, but today, we especially praise God in the following ways:
We praise God for new mothers. We are thankful that God has blessed our congregation with many children this year, and pray that God grant our mothers and fathers the grace to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
We praise God for faithful mothers. To those who have continued to nurture and raise their children in a godly manner, we praise the Lord for your work and for your testimony.
We praise God for yearning mothers. To those who long to have children and have not yet been granted a child, we want you to know we are praying for you, love you and pray that your relationship with Christ deepens as He carries you through this time. We join you in praying you would have the opportunity to raise up a disciple of Christ in your own home.
We praise God for transitioning mothers. To those who have seen their children marry, pursue education or move out of the home, we are thankful for your faithful service while your children were in your home and are praying for you as you explore the depths of your "new role."
We praise God for departed mothers. This Mothers' Day reminds some of the sting of death as they have lost their mother during this year. We want you to know we are praying that God would grant you comfort, and allow you to treasure memories of your mother.
We praise God for those who are not mothers. We're thankful that the gospel allows opportunity for all women to invest in others and help raise up disciples (Titus 2). We thank God for your participation in the gospel with us!

2008 Graduates--Are you graduating from school this coming year? We would love to recognize you during the June 1 service in the park. If you would like your “open house” and graduation announced, we would need to receive a picture, your graduation information, and your open house schedule by May 18th.
Elder’s Study--To date, we have offered the Elders’ Study (by Strauch) about six different times in our church. However, we have not kept track of those who have taken the study. If you have participated in the past, would you please contact the office. (either by call, email, or the tear off portion of your bulletin.)
Baptism--Are you interested in obeying the Lord in water baptism? We are in the process of planning another baptism. Contact the church office to set up an appointment.
