ALL CHURCH WORK DAY
This Saturday is our all church workday and you are needed!
As we have been discussing recently, every other month we as a ministry will be engaging in a service project. It is our desire to be a ministry that is living lives of service; lives that are on mission for God. April is our month!
Meet us at the church from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm to help in removing blackberry vines, bark dusting and other jobs to further beautify our property and prepare it for our expansion project. You are free to come and work an hour or work the whole day!
Please bring with you:
Leather gloves (a MUST)
Protective clothing (long sleaves)
Pruning shears (long/short handles)
Pitch forks, hay forks, and rakes
A BBQ lunch will be provided.
HS BEACH RETREAT
What does miles of private beach, giant gunny sack slide, fun night games, engaging worship, great food, fun with friends, kayaking, and a great speaker (Pastor Jon Knapp) all have in common? Well yes, of course...the HS Beach Retreat!
The Beach Retreat is quickly approaching. This year it will be held on May 5-7, and will be, like always, at Winema Christian Camp. Watch for the brochures this week.
2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. (Philippians 2:5-7)
If anyone had the right to pull rank rank, be first in line, or demand his own way, it was Jesus. After all, he came from the greatest kingdom that exists and willingly chose to live in our world and walk our dirt roads. He's the King!
But instead of demanding his rights or pushing for his own way way, he became a servant to humanity. He served us! Check out John 13:4-5. What did Jesus do in this particular situation to serve his disciples?
Think of several ways you can be a servant. I'll give you a few suggestions, then you can spend some time brainstorming a few more.
1. I can surprise my parents by cleaning the entire house.
2. I can rake the leaves in my neighbor's yard--for free!
3. I can visit an elderly member of our church who's now a shut-in and can no longer come to services.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! (Philippians 2:8)
It's easy for us to get caught up with our rights, isn't it? We see television commercials with lawyers telling us how to sue for damage that's been done to us, or for money that's owed to us for being inconvenienced. Maybe you've caught yourself thinking, Hey, he had no right to say that to me! Or That's not fair! I've got my rights!
It certainly wasn't fair that Jesus was tried as a criminal and crucified. He was completely innocent! Talk about rights. He could have commanded a bazillion angels to rescue him from the cross, but he chose instead to be obedient to the will of the Father. He chose to pay our death penalty for sin so we wouldn't have to!
Take a few minutes to write out a prayer of gratitude to Jesus, who didn't demand his royal rights, but instead loves you so much that he took your place on the cross.

"The first step to leadership is servanthood."
-John Maxwell
"A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world - and might even be more difficult to save."
