“Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for

the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.”

Romans 13:8

This passage could refer to many things. Perhaps we owe

them money, or physical things we borrowed, or perhaps

we owe someone an apology following a

misunderstanding. Whatever stops us from loving others,

keeps us from fulfilling God’s law. I love watching some

of the renditions of the Gospel that film makers have

made. There is one I love the most that shows our Savior

laughing and loving his disciples, displaying the tender

side of Christ. Oh to be like Jesus all the time! As the

song tells us, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” Father

God, pour out Your loving spirit upon us. Teach us to

love freely, and without reservation as Christ did by

example. Give us cheerful, loving hearts to go forth to a

hurting world around us. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

You may send your prayer requests and praises to Terri Lacher at btlacher@sbcglobal.net or at

(936) 598-3484 or (936) 488-8701.

Dear Pastor and All Who Pray for Healing,

Sam Clark and I would like to thank you,

Suzanne Whitney and all the faithful praying for

Sam’s healing. We were both very touched by the cross

you sent and most importantly the prayers you are all

saying. God is definitely with us! He is sending love

and comfort from so many to lighten the burden of this

journey. Again, we say, “Thank You!” and keep the

prayers coming!

In Christ’s love, Mary & Sam Clark

Can you believe that Easter is just around the corner already? Sure enough, we are preparing for our annual Easter Egg Hunt to be on Sunday, March 28 for our children but we need your help!

ONE MONTH AWAY!

We are on the hunt for plastic eggs, lots of candy donations, and volunteers. If you're interested in helping prepare for this great event for the kiddos, just let Faythe know but if you’d rather purchase candy and plastic eggs, just drop them off at the church office anytime in the next several weeks.

We're working to get as much as we can to begin assembling the eggs on March 27, so we truly thank everyone in advance for helping with this fun and memorable event!
