Greetings and Peace to You from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
By the time the March Newsletter is published and read, we will be more than a week into our season of Lent. We need to approach Lent as an opportunity to grow deeper in our relationship with God and as a way to develop spiritual disciplines that will continue on throughout the year and beyond. The simple question is, how much time are you giving God each day? God desires to be in fellowship with us, share life with us and spend eternity with us. Yet, we struggle to carve out just a few moments with Him daily. If you want to grow in your relationship with God it requires commitment and sacrifice. The Bible teaches, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” ~ Romans 10:17. Yes, we need to listen in order to grow in our faith. It is my prayer that God will speak to each of us through our season of Lent and we will grow stronger in our faith, together!
Praising and Serving Him!

March 2021 Prayer Focus & RemindersTheme for 2021: Let there be less of me and More of Him (John 3:30)
The cost of Prayerlessness: “The Lord has looked down from Heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. (Ps.14:2; Ps. 53:2) [They] have not sought the Lord; therefore they have not prospered. (Jer. 10:21)
For the Body of Christ in America: (Ps. 91: 6-11)His faithfulness shall be our shield and wall.We shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness, nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday. A thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, but it shall not come near us. Only with our eyes shall we behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because we have made the LORD, who is our refuge, even the Most High, our dwelling, there shall be no evil befall us, neither shall any plague come near our tents; for He shall give His angels charge over us to guard us in all our ways.
