Stained Glass

3/27/2019

 
Thanks so much to Leslie Smith for teaching a combined childrens and youth art class on stained glass design. Leslie Smith is the art teacher at Four Oaks Elementary.  She taught the group about the ancient Christian symbols that were used to communicate to avoid persecution from the Romans.  After they learned about the symbols, they used them and made scratch art.   Thank you to Lauren and Michele for setting this up.

Ash Wednesday

3/6/2019

 
Lord, we confess our sins before you. We confess that we have fallen short of your glory and your intent for our lives. Open our eyes that we may see ourselves with clarity and truthfulness, that we may have eyes to see all of that within us that is not pleasing to you.

Lord, we confess to you that we have not loved as ought. We have been impatient with others with whom we could have been patient. We have disregarded those you have called us to serve. We have chosen the selfish way when you have called us to selflessness.

Lord, we confess that we have not tended to the care of our souls. We have been too busy to pray. We have been too quick to speak and too slow to listen for you. We have filled our lives with all kinds of noise instead of patiently waiting like sheep for our shepherd's voice.

Lord we confess our need of you. We need your grace. We need you patience. We need your guidance. We cannot see beyond the moment. We cannot worship you as we ought. As we begin this solemn journey toward the cross, we call upon your mercy and your love for our salvation. (The Prayers of Confession)
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Psalm 51:10-12

After Rev. David Little was called to a senior pastor position in Littleton, the personnel committee and a special selection of the youth committee began the process of searching for our next youth minister. After a prayerful and thoughtful evaluation of the position, the needs of the church and the children, and the candidates; they recommended Jami Champagne. Jami, who has been working with the youth since David's departure, met and talked with the youth and their parents Saturday, March 2.

​On Sunday, March 3, she gave her testimony to the congregation who unanimously welcomed her as our new new youth minister. Jami is the wife of our former deacon, Joshua Champagne; mother to Justin, Jenna, and Jacob; Sunday School teacher; Acteens leader; and vacation bible school organizer. Thank you for all you've brought us through, and all you will bring us through in this new role.
Have Your own way, Lord; have Your own way. Hold over me absolute sway. Fill me with Your Spirit, until all see Christ only, always, living in me. (Have Thine Own Way, Lord. Adelaide Pollard).
