A lot of work goes into making a barn quilt. The congregation was asked to submit quilt ideas and then voted on their favorite. Jan, Mary and Beth got us going and several took their turn at painting. You will have to keep watching for the end result!

We listened to the song (click on the following link to listen to song) “I Can Only Imagine” a single recorded by Christian rock band Mercy Me. Written and composed by lead vocalist Bart Millard.  Such a beautiful song!

Thank you to Mary Zach for planning the service this morning and to everyone who shared photos and precious memories of their loved ones.

Spring

From the Pastor…

It’s springtime and the farmers are in the field planting corn and soy bean seeds. What a miracle! Those seeds have no brain, yet they know exactly what to do. They know what they will become when they grow up. For example, I’ve never seen a marigold huff and puff to be a petunia. Instead all seeds know that God the Creators plan is exactly right, down to their roots.

Contained in each seed is all the information needed to produce stalks, tassels, ears, pollen, leaves, stems, pods and blossoms. Most of the work of a seeds creation takes place underground, so while only the stems, blossoms, and fruit receive our compliments. We actually should applaud what is beneath.

The next time you plant a seed remember God has a plan for your life as well. Your life already has a blueprint or design of how you can please God and accomplish his purpose in you.

God is the giver and sustainer of life. In Psalm 100:3 it states, “Know that the Lord is God; it is He who makes us and we are His. We are His people; the sheep of His pasture.” Let each of us discover God’s blueprint for our life and then seek to live by the plans he has laid out for each of our lives.
