April 17, 2020 SHARE: An Easter Week Word from Jesus “A New Life” Welcome the Spirit’s Gift of The JOY of New Trust for Provision A WORD FROM THE LORD Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised form the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:3-4 A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT We count on that Easter Sunday offering giving a big boost to church finances. In times when we can’t count on business as usual, we learn new kinds of trust in a God who is invested in the continuing work of his Church on earth. Expect blessing in new ways! WE’RE PRAYING FOR YOU “Give me faith, Lord, that in these trying financial times, you still provide all I need for this body and life and all your Church needs for mission. Amen.” RENEWAL MOMENT Take a deep breath. Exhale Slowly. “Lord, have mercy.” Thanksgiving for The Joy of New Trust in God’s Provision. MARKER OF WELLBEING: Financial As I grow in God’s grace of Financial FAITHFULNESS, I am finding joy in GENEROSITY, sharing with others as I have been blessed.
