Church Notes – May 2011
Something to ponder.... Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5: 1-2
My prayer for all of us is that this Easter has been a time of cleansing, a time of healing, and a time of transformation. May the blessings of this season of the Christian year fall like gentle rain on all of Texada.
THANK YOU! from the UCW for your generous support of our Spring Tea and Bake Sale. We hope you had a good time – we certainly enjoyed this time together.
