Is that really sunshine in Muskegon? Finally! Check out these 7 things for this week!
1. Sidewalk Astronomy, April 19 - The Newago County Dark Sky Astronomers will help us explore the beautiful universe that our God made. They will be in the Celebration parking lot at 7:30 or 1 hour before sunset.
2. Prayers: For those who have been through surgeries and those about to go through them. For resolved conflicts and those who need to make some steps to resolve conflicts in their life. For the safety of those on Spring Break. For the simple miracle that Makenna is now 2 years old! And for the many unspoken cries of our hearts that our God knows!
3. New sermon series: eMotion Pictures - God made us with emotions. They are part of who we are but sometimes they are confusing. They get distorted. They get destructive. But that is not how God made them to be. That is not how he made us to be. Through the use of recent movies, we will look at several emotions God has given us, how they can be distorted, and how we can use them to do great things as God has planned all along. THIS SUNDAY: ANGER!
4. Classis Muskegon Meeting at Celebration - Representatives from the area CRC churches will meet at Celebration on Thursday, April 25. We are in need of 2 things: 1) your prayers for our sister churches in the area and 2) snacks for the meeting. Contact Pastor Matt or Connie Cerminaro if you can help with either or both of these needs.
5. 2013 CRCNA Prayer Summit, April 15-17, in Lake View Terrace, CA. Last year the Summit was a powerful witness to the power and moving of the Spirit of God among His people. "Your Kingdom Come" is the Summit focus. Pray for God to do great things in our world and that he might use us too!
6. Volunteer at 2013 Mission of Mercy in Saginaw, MI, June 6-9 - Not everyone can afford or has access to dental care. A Mission of Mercy is a 100-chair dental clinic with portable dental stations that will be set up at Saginaw Valley State University to serve nearly 2000 patients! It will provide dentistry and caring for the underserved adults and children in Michigan: cleanings, fillings, extractions, limited root canals and treatment partials dentures.
NOT A DENTIST? THERE ARE ROLES FOR EVERYONE! We as Celebration hope to take a group to Saginaw on Friday or Saturday, June 7 or 8. Contact Connie Cerminaro to volunteer for this important project. http://www.milemichigan.com/foundation/MissionofMercy.aspx
7. Bridges, Not Walls - Sir Isaac Newton was quoted as saying: “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.” As a pastor, there is nothing better to hear than when someone begins to tear down a wall between them and another person. It makes my week when I hear that a person actively makes attempts at building or repairing a relational bridge. That bridge may not be like the bridge that was broken but it no longer takes all of the energy to maintain it. This happened this week! This is just one reason why I love Celebration!
