A Word of Thanks
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of
mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in
the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who
began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus
Christ. - Philippians 1:3-6
It was my grandmother who taught me how to pray. At least, my earliest
recollection of learning to pray was from my maternal grandmother who
taught me that old bedtime prayer, “Now, I lay me down to sleep.” You
probably know the rest, or some variation. In teaching me that prayer, she
also taught me to pray for those I care about, naming them and asking
God’s blessings to be upon them.
Of course, as I grew older, my prayers changed, but the basic framework
had been established. Most notably, that notion of praying specifically for
those I care about.
Over the course of the past few weeks, I have received numerous cards (18
in a single day!), phone calls, visits, and general words of encouragement
from family and friends. This includes my church family, of course.
Knowing that someone cares enough to take time to mention my name in
their prayer really means more than words can truly convey.
I want to express my sincerest thanks to all of you as the family of God for
your continued support, encouragement, love, and prayers during this time.
To know my name has been uttered to the masterful creator of all things is
a tremendous gift and continues to provide encouragement each day.
My last preschool chapel before my hospital stint was about the four friends
who cut a hole in the roof of the house Jesus was in so their friend could
receive healing. I find it interesting that, given my recent situation, it’s those
prayers offered by those close to me that cut the hole through
discouragement and frustration to make room for the healing Jesus offers.
I hope you know how much it means to have your continued support. May
God continue to bless us all with the knowledge of His continued love and
presence, and help us remember that we have the privilege to experience
His love through those relationships with one another.

YOUTH EVENTS FOR MAY
Sunday, May 11 – Mother’s Day
– Youth cancelled for this
evening. Spend time with mom.
It’s probably the gift she wants
more than anything.
Sunday, May 18 at 2:00 PM –
Sunny Sky’s Ice Cream – The
sky is the limit with this ice
cream. The youth are sponsoring
an ice cream outing for everyone.
Grab some lunch, meet back at
the church and we will all head
down to quaint Angier where you
can find a unique shop that sells
any flavor you desire. They will
even mix up a new flavor if you
don’t see what you like. Just
don’t order the Cold Sweat.
www.sunniskys.com/
Wednesday, May 21 at 6:30 PM –
Spring Cleaning – Spring is here
and so is the need to tidy up. If
there are any specific needs
either at the church or elsewhere,
please let Pastor Joe know. The
youth cleaned the corner storage
room in the FLC last year and it
was a great success. We look
forward to helping again.
Sunday, May 25 at 6:00 PM –
Mission Team Fundraiser Blitz
– The youth will put up banners,
pass out flyers, and flood social
media with advertisements for
the BBQ fundraiser on May 30th.
RESURRECTION REFLECTION
I believe a dead man came back
alive. Oh, and that man was God
in the flesh. These are
statements we commonly accept
as Christians. The youth recently
watched The Passion of the
Christ and it seemed to bring the
reality of Jesus’ death and
resurrection to the forefront of
our attention. Well, that and
Easter. I often encourage the
youth to share what their faith
means with their peers. It has
come to my attention just how
radical this really is. The fact of
the resurrection stands counter
to logic. People might just think
you’re crazy. Think about what
we claim to believe: God became
a helpless baby, lived a perfect
life for 33 years, suffered hell
(separation from God) and died in
the place of certain others, came
back to life, then flew into the
clouds like some fictional
superhero. We really profess to
believe all that (and much, much
more). Those sound like things
that should wind you up in a
padded cell with a straight jacket
on. Seriously! If it weren’t for two
things, we might all just be put
there. First, there was ample
evidence provided for the truth of
Jesus’ resurrection (like his
eating fish). These claims could
have easily been debunked when
they were first made. But, they
weren’t because amazingly, they
were true! Second, the work of
the Holy Spirit testifies to a
multitude of people that these
things are fact. God, Himself,
gives us confidence that the
evidences are compelling and
that the spiritual realities of the
resurrection are as real as the
paper you are holding (perhaps
even more so). Praise God that He
provides this assurance for us.
He is worthy of our crazy love.
Otherwise, we might just be plain
crazy.
Everyone who acknowledges me
publicly here on earth, I will also
acknowledge before my Father in
heaven. But everyone who denies
me here on earth, I will also deny
before my Father in heaven.
