Greensboro Tornado, Church Family Meeting, Spring Spruce Up (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/22)

Bereavement: We were with Pastor Maurice Wright on Thursday evening to celebrate his church's 14th anniversary, his mother passed on Friday morning. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Last Sunday evening, a tornado touched down on the eastern side of Greensboro and left a path of destruction that was 33.6 miles long and roughly one-quarter of a mile wide. The tornado, with 135 mph winds, plowed through homes and damaged properties, including three elementary schools that will remain closed for the rest of the year. One man died in the storm when a tree fell on the vehicle he was in. I'm currently looking for a church or ministry in that area that we can partner with to help. Once we find one, we'll at least raise a love offering and look for opportunities to go and serve there.

Our next Church Family Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, April 29th, following the church service. We have important news to share. All members are asked to stay after the service to attend.

Sis. Lewis announced our next Spring Spruce Up that will be held on Saturday, April 28th, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. All are welcome to come out for part or all of the time to help us be good stewards over our facilities by keeping it clean.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
