Easter Services: Please note that we will celebrate Palm Sunday on March 29 from 9:00-10:30 a.m., Good Friday on April 3 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. @ The Handke Center, and Easter on April 5 from 9:00-10:30 a.m. 

Children on Palm Sunday: Parents if you want your children to participate in Palm Sunday this year, we will be having a practice the first 10 minutes of Sunday school this Sunday, March 22. Then please come 10 minutes early on Palm Sunday March 29 to get ready. If possible please wear a white shirt. If you have any questions please contact Jenny Arant at 763-245-4938.

Mother-Son Event: Save the date for our first Mother Son Event on Saturday, April 25. There will be an event activity and a nice sit down dinner. More details coming soon. Julie Springfield and Jenny Arant will be heading up this event. 

Spring Outreach: After much prayer and discussion, the Elders have decided to focus on Abba Pregnancy Resource Center's Spring Banquet for our spring outreach effort. On the one hand, this event helps us to maintain our focus on the lost and "least of these," and on the other hand, five of the members of GCF already have leading roles on the Banquet Committee. So please save the date (May 14, 2015), look out for more information in the coming weeks, and join us in praying that God will pour his blessings upon the ministry of Abba and upon the pro-life movement at large. 

Thursday Morning Prayer Meeting: Please join us for an hour of prayer on Thursday mornings from 6:00-7:00 a.m. at the church office. Women should bring at least one other person with them so that we can honor the Lord by maintaining appropriate boundaries. If you are unable to stop by the church office, feel free to join in from wherever you are. For more information, contact Pastor Charlie at charlie@gcfmn.org.

Stay Connected: All of our announcements are posted on our blog at our church website (gcfmn.org). If you would like to receive our weekly electronic newsletter please contact Traci Veek (traci@gcfmn.org). 

Next Week’s Fighter Verse:
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Meditations on the Glory of Christ: He Sits at the Right Hand of God

By
In Hebrews 1:2-4, the author makes seven claims about Jesus that when taken together greatly exalt his glory. The seventh claim the author makes about the Son is that, having made purification for sins, he now sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high. The words “he sat down” set the stage for chapter 7 where we’re taught that Jesus is both Priest and King. Prior to Jesus, no king offered his own sacrifices and no priest sat on the throne of David, for that wouldn’t be right. God had decreed that there should be a separation of powers between the priest and the king, but Jesus, unlike all before him, is worthy and able to fulfill both roles. So, on the one hand, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God after making purification for sins because the sacrifice he offered, namely himself, is sufficient. Other priests were always standing, as we see in chapter 10:11-14, because their work was never done. The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins, so the priests could...
