5 Things for This Week

Celebration,
For those who feel worn out, here is some good news from Isaiah 40:30-31: "Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

1. Casserole Luncheon, March 23 - Whether it is a casserole or a hot dish, enjoy a meal at church after worship. If you have never made a casserole before, we have recipes! This will be a great time! Please sign-up on the information booth so that we know we have enough for everyone! 

2. Nominees for Elders and Deacon nominees - We will be selecting elder and deacon leaders in May. Contact Sue Vredevoogd if you believe someone would serve well as a church leader.

3. Amie Anderson Grad Party, March 22, 2-4PM - It is now DR. Amie! She has invited the Celebration community to church to celebrate with her. Contact DR. Amie if you have other questions.

4. Sunday - The life of a Christian is one of action! It is much more than knowing God's assignment for your life. It is doing God's assignment for your life! See you Sunday as we continue our walk in the book of James. (James 1:19-27)

5. Prayers - Please pray for:
- Lilia DuRose is doing much better. She and her family thank everyone for your prayers, concern, calls, and occasional food.
- Please add Gene Wessel to your prayer list. He is a friend of Julie DeMarr. He has been diagnosed with lung cancer and is suffering from other health related issues.
- Help for friends who are in abusive relationships.
- Harold and Geneva West's niece, Jessica, who went into labor at only 26 weeks. 
- Duane Gray had a blood vessel break behind the left eye. He has some swelling and will see a specialist this week.
- Geneva West's mother who has been in and out of the hospital.
- The discord within the church.
- Stay focused on how to treat our brothers and sister at church, being Christ-like, compassionate, loving, forgiving and encouraging to one another.
- Our Celebration family members and let God's will work in our goal to opening Phase II. May we all be patient and wait for the Lord's blessings. Let us be thankful, Christ-like and imitate God.
