MINISTRIES
COURAGE TO CHANGE
Cathy Harper is the coordinator for the Right Path program in our
area. She will be our guest speaker this coming Thursday April
17. The Right Path program is a program designed to encourage
teens and young people to be active in their community by volun-
teering. It is structured to encourage activity, build self esteem
and teach young people how to make good decisions and right
choices now and for their future. Cathy works with young people
in the Right Path program educating them on the dangers of
drugs and the advantages of living a productive life. She will be
speaking at the Courage to Change meeting at 7:00. We want to
invite our college age young people, our teens and parents of
teens to be a part of our meeting.
LOVE IN ACTION
A special thanks goes out to BIZ Tech on Emerson Ave. for their
generosity in donating a laptop, keyboard, and mouse to the
pantry! This will enable us to finally go online with our pantry
clients and the information that is required for them. It will take
us some time to get all the information downloaded, but, in the
end, will help us keep records more efficiently. We also want to
thank Denise Kaufman for her continued work on providing Bible
lessons and papers to our weekend children. Some of the chil-
dren have stated they love these and look forward to receiving
these as much as the food! A special thanks also to Janet Smith
and Gwen Crum who have agreed to do a Friday night each
month to deliver the food bags to the kids. As each of us work
together, we pray we can surrender more to God and love HIM
completely, love others compassionately, and love ourselves
correctly.

The Substitution:
The Sacrifice:
Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus
who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!” And he said, “Why, what evil has he
done?” But they shouted all the more,
“Let him be crucified!”
~Matthew 27:22-23
