Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who say to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water" - John 4:10

Will you join us in prayer
Prayer for more space
For several years we have prayed that God would bless us with more children in our church family. God has answered that prayer and more so. With more children, comes additional needs. Those needs go beyond simply needing more teachers and helpers. We need more space.
We are praying that God will direct us and provide us the funds needed to add additional space for our children's ministry. We would like to have 4 rooms for our children's ministry, and have them all in the same place. We would also like to have bathrooms in this space.
Our first option would be to expand our main building to the west by about 30ft. This would give us about 1200 sq. ft. This would be the minimum we would need.

The second option would be to replace an older building we have in the back with a newer building. Probably a steel building. This building could be 60 x30 or 60 x 35. This would give us about 1800 sq. ft. or so, which would allow us to have larger rooms with a bathroom or two compared to the first option. This option would also likely be cheaper.
Though we have some funds currently, we will likely need more. Thankfully we serve a mighty God. We serve a God who can do abundantly more than we can think or ask. We are not asking for money, we are asking that you would join us in praying over this issue.
April 23rd DEVOTION
life is short...How do I make it count - Jeanne doyon
I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I still have my being. - Psalm 146:2
I don't know how many years I have left to live and love. Life is short and the older I get, the clearer that is to me. The fact is, none of us know. Life is short, so I think I should live each day with that in mind.
The meaning of this verse is the psalmist’s desire to lift up the Lords praise throughout his whole life – while he still has breath. I will praise – I will sing.
This is a determined prayer. It is present tense—I will do it now.
No matter what I face – I will praise.
No matter what is going on, I will sing praises to God...
Praise is more powerful than we can imagine:
- Praise routes the enemy.
- Praise stirs our spirit.
- Praise ascends to God’s throne as an offering.
- Praise erects a shield to combat defeat, and depression.
- Praise overcomes grumbling.
- God is worthy of that praise and he loves to hear it – to smell the fragrant offering.

We can find other references to this:
Psalm 63:4 says, “so I will bless Thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Thy name.”
Psalm 104:33 that tells us, “sing to the Lord in my lifetime; Let me sing praise to my God.”
I want my life to matter. Romans 12:1 says to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice—as worship. I want to give my all to God. How about you?
We don’t know about tomorrow—we aren’t even sure there will be a tomorrow. So, I want my life to be a fragrant offering today. Because life is short. And, my life belongs to God. He bought me with the blood of The Lamb.
