Good Friday

My intention was to get our weekly note off early this morning, but our grand children had other ideas! Yes, we were in Dallas for a few days with the grand children! Our grandson had a seizure Tuesday evening from a high fever brought on by pneumonia or strep. Like children do, he recovered quickly and before 8:30 that night they went home. We sat with the grand kids Thursday while our son and his wife went back to work. What a joy to be around such energy and inquiring minds. Little ones keep you on your toes!

Last Friday, we had a huge group of volunteers helping out in and around the center from United Way as they celebrated A Day of Caring. Lots of good work was done, lots or friendships were made. Thanks to all for making it happen.

We had some good news last Saturday, Robert was released from the hospital and now has his own apartment. Scott and Alan were given the grand tour. Robert was very proud to show them around. After 14 years living on the streets, what a blessing to have Robert inside! Thank you God!

Our afternoon school activities continued on Monday and Wednesday. Great to see all our servants lining up to help our children. What a blessing to see it all coming together.

Tuesday evening, the men gathered for their weekly Bible fellowship. Great to see so many men come together and share what God is doing in their lives.

Not being around Thursday evening, others will have to share the goings on with our Easter egg hunt! I know it was fun, sorry to miss it.

Don't forget this Sunday, we will meet at the center at 7am. Gather our eggs and be ready to head out into the neighborhood at 7:12! We will continue our long tradition of sharing God's lvoe for our neighbors in the form of Easter eggs! We usually walk for about an hour, giving you plenty of time to get to church! Everybody is welcome to join in on the fun!

This Saturday March 26th is our monthly breakfast starting at 8:30 am. Lots of good food and good conversation will be available, please come and enjoy.

Later on in the day, we will be hosting Silent Saturday Service. Prayer stations will be set up in the chapel from 12:30 until 4, then a short service of meditation, scripture and prayers will start at 4:30. Come celebrate the Easter weekend with us.

Hope everybody has a special Easter weekend with family and friends. God is so good, in so many ways, so let's celebrate the sacrifice Jesus made for us and then He is risen!
