Updated Church Directory Submissions Due Today: Take a moment today to email any updated contact info or picture to Melissa Johnson at mmjohnson512@gmail.com. She will take your picture after the service if you like. 

Good Friday and Easter Sunday Services: Our Good Friday service will be March 30 at 6:00 p.m. Easter morning service on April 1 will be at 9:00 a.m. We will not have an Agape Meal in April. 

Backyard Bible Clubs Training Meeting Thursday March 29 at 7 p.m.: Are you interested in participating in a Backyard Bible Club this Summer? Hosting? Helping? Teaching? If any or all of these is something that interests you, come to the planning meeting on Thursday, March 29 at the church office. This meeting will not obligate you to a club but it will equip you to begin planning for one. 

All-Church Prayer Meeting Wednesday April 11: Join us for a time of corporate prayer at 6:30 p.m. at the Handke Center. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him (1 John 5:14-15). All are welcome! 

Women's Retreat Coming Soon! Brochures are available on the information table. We look forward to getting away together April 27-28/29. This year's speaker is Lisa Howse and her mother Jan Goris. The theme is Hope in God (1 Peter 1:18, 21). See Susan Fergus, Claire Belknap or Shelley Herzog if you have questions. 

Next Week’s Fighter Verse 

...looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, 
who for the joy that was set before him endured 
the cross, despising the shame, 
and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 
Hebrews 12:2

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

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,...

Update on Sarah Fergus

By
Here is an update that we just sent to our church regarding Sarah Fergus who is heading off soon to serve the Lord in Madagascar. If you're interested in helping Sarah, please write me a note and I'll be glad to pass it on to her. One way or the other, please join us in prayer! Dear Glory of Christ Fellowship, Thank you for all your prayers in the last few weeks. I have been very encouraged by many of you on Sunday mornings and after visiting several community groups.

Jan 8th is my planned departure date.
