Maybe it will help if you read it again!
We are in that time of year where it is somewhat warm one day, and bitter cold the next. Great weather for getting sap for maple syrup, but bad for our health! Be careful and take precautions like washing hands frequently. It has been warm midweek, but will be colder again on Sunday, but don't allow that to keep you away. Here is what is going on this Sunday:
This is our "Tract Sunday" and we will participate with many other churches across our country by putting a tract in each bulletin for you to give out in the coming week. 
If only 5,000 churches nationwide would distribute 200 tracts, we would help in giving out one million tracts explaining God's way of salvation! It is great to take part in this endeavor, be thinking of how you can give your tract away next week.

Great opportunities for growth, belonging, learning.
10:45 AM - Worship of God in song and His Word. We will continue to look at Ezra 5 
(and relate it to Haggai and Zechariah) in part two of "Shaking Out of Spiritual Apathy and Lethargy." After setting the groundwork last Sunday we will turn toward further life applications of the principles of this passage. We all face apathetic and lethargic times in life, so prepare ahead to battle through them by applying these prinicples to your life.

where we together remember Christ's sacrifice for us through song, testimony, God's Word, and the elements. Our Student Ministry will meet in the auditorium with the adults during this time. Hopefully some of them will be able to share testimony about the impact of the Winter Retreat they experienced this weekend at Skyview Ranch. Remember to bring your Benevolent Fund offering which is much needed by some during these tough times.

which features "Crazy Hat Night" this week. Don't forget to wear yours, along with your uniform (double "shares" for wearing your uniform.) Parents, please remember to have your kids turn in their "dues" money each week.

Parents, please remember to have your kids turn in their "dues" money each week.We look forward to having Dan Kieta arrive home safely on Saturday from his work trip to China. Keep him in prayer regarding safety and health.
For teens going to the Retreat this Friday through Sunday, be sure to be on time and bring all necessary items. If you have questions give Dennis and Barb a call.Our Upward basketball program continues this Saturday with games held at First Baptist in Aurora. This has been a positive experience for all involved and we thank the Lord for this opportunity.
Our Women's Ministry meeting will be this Monday, March 9 at 7:00 PM here at the church. I don't recall what is going on for it, but check with Debbie Mace on Sunday so that you can prepare.
For your advanced notice we will be hosting the "Chamber Singers" of Baptist Bible College, PA 
on Saturday, March 21 at 7:00 PM for a concert of worship. We are always blest greatly by their ministry, please come and invite other to come with you. On that day at 5:00 PM we will be enjoying our annual "Chili / Soup / Bread" supper social. Since this is the time of year we have this, we thought it would be extra fun to have it when the Chamber Singers are here to enjoy it with us. It will afford all of us an opportunity to get to know the kids in the group better, and it will be a nice "homecoming" event for our own Leah Workman. Let me know if you are able and willing to house any of the students overnight on that night. And they will only be with us in concert on Saturday night, not Sunday morning, so be sure not to miss it!

He does ask Sarah almost daily "is baby brother coming out TODAY?" Here is the result of one of the times where Sarah tried to explain it to him: 
He looks like he is sympathizing with mommy! Please keep Sarah and the baby in prayer as she is due March 27. Beth and I will be making our plans to go, we are praying it all goes as well as the arrival of Nicholas did. And there is no name as of yet for the new baby that we know of, though much has been suggested as to how to combine the grandfathers' names for it ("Ray" and "Don" - that combo doesn't work.)

Please keep her in prayer. Also pray for Ron Biltz' recovery from MCL knee surgery this past Tuesday. It went well and he is home. George Riefler is out of the hospital and home, and some decisions regarding his health care need to be made, so keep Kathy and the family in prayer.
Some have asked about how Beth is doing with her voice progress, and the therapy / lessons have really helped - she is doing great! In fact, she will be taking part in a recital on Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 PM for her teacher's voice students. It will be held on the campus of the Cleveland Music Settlement School - click on the name for information. If you are interested and able to attend and rejoice with us in God's goodness and healing, you are most welcome to attend.
And I hope you will attend services here (or at your own church) this Sunday as we have planned for an encouraging time in the Lord. He is good and we honor Him for this by giving our time, effort, and finances for His glory. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
Pastor Don Workman
